3.4. The preset buttons

You can easily store your favorite volume selection sets using the buttons in the preset buttons box. .

If you have a lot of volumes indexed, for instance a few hundreds CDROMs, it would be a chore to individually select each of them each time you are looking for some file. The preset buttons mechanism allows you to put some order in your collection. For instance you would define a preset button for all volumes where you can have music files, another where you have software installation files, etc. If you can hardly retrieve your fixed disks among all the volumes, just define a Hard disks button.

To store a preselection, first select the wanted volumes in the volume list. Then right click on a button labeled (void) and select Get preset from volume list . You will be prompted for a new button label.

Now to apply a previously stored preselection, replacing any previous selection in the volume list, all you have to do is left-click on the preset button. If the button has no preselection defined, i.e. is labeled (void), nothing will happen. Alternatively, you may choose Apply preset from the button's context menu.

You can also build up a complex selection using several preset buttons. In order to add preselections to the volume list selection, left-click on the preset button while holding down the Shift or Control key. If the button has no preselection defined, i.e. is labeled (void), nothing will happen. Alternatively, you may choose Merge preset from the button's context menu.
