Profile Control
A Profile Control is the under interface to the Mira file protocol. A profile is a collection of parameters managed under a single name. This topic describes how to work with profiles in Mira.
As an example of the user interface to a profile, consider the Combine Images dialog. That command uses a large number of parameters to control the processing. For the user to remember all the settings necessary to repeat a particular combining procedure would be quite involved and therefore prone to mistakes. The Profile Control solves this problem by managing all the parameters under a single name. You can see that a profile named New is its current selection. The parameters shown in this dialog are those stored in a profile named "New".
The Profile Control consists of a list box and a dorp button that opens a menu of commands, including Save, Save As, Delete, and "Locked (Unlocked)". The profile control supervises all the parameters in the dialog. After changing parameters, you may wish to update them in the current profile. To do so, click the button and choose Save.
