• The “Column Preset Description” will show you the name of the preset as it will appear in the menus. The column will indicate automatically if there is an Auto selection rule, which is associated with preset.
• You can use the button “Add” if you want to add the preset. After adding it, you will see the dialog of transfer settings preset editor.
• The preset, which is added newly, will be inserted just before the preset, which is selected in the list or it will be inserted at the end if you have not selected any preset.
• The button ‘Edit” will help you to edit the selected preset. The edit option will open the “Transfer settings preset editor” dialog.
• Use the button “Remove” if you want to remove the preset, which is selected. You can always have the option the cancel the action any time if you have done this by mistake. This step will be applied to the entire Preferences Dialog, and you can undo all changes you have made.
• The “Duplicate” button can be used to duplicate the selected preset. The dialog of transfer settings preset editor will be shown, where you will be required to provide a name to the present, which is duplicated. You can change these settings anytime if you want.
• You can use the buttons “Up and Down” if you want to change the preset’s order. The order is equally important when you evaluate the Auto-selection rules (The “First Matching” presets always wins).
• The preset setting “Announce when transfer” it an autoselected checkbox, which makes the box pop up of announcement whenever you change transfer settings due to the rule of Auto selection.
• If you turn off this option, you will still see the announcements messages on the main window’s status bar.
• In case there is not preset along with the Auto-selection rule, the checkbox will remain disabled.
