Profiles

Profiles

Use profiles to switch document options on the fly and import/export document settings between different documents and/or workstations.
Every WiseImage profile can store:
 Interface settings (customize options, preference options).
 File format settings.
 Paper settings.
Although many profiles can be created, only one of them can be a current one. By default, WiseImage stores the current options in a profile named <>.
The profile information is stored in the system registry. When modifying interface settings, file formats and paper settings, the current profile is automatically changed.
 Export a profile to a file once and import it every time it is needed, to prevent unwanted current profile modification.

To manage profiles in WiseImage:

Use the Switch to Profile dialog (Menu: Tools / Switch Profile) to switch profiles or choose a required profile in the Profiles tab in the Customize dialog box and click the Set Current button to make this profile current (applies all profile settings to the application).
While the Switch to Profile dialog is used for rapidly switching and creating profiles, the Profiles tab is used for creation, removing, switching, exporting and importing profiles.

Profile creation

The newly created profile inherits the current profile settings.
Every WiseImage profile contains three parts (the interface settings, the file format settings and the paper settings). However, during new profile creation which part to read from the profile each time it is loaded can be specified (making it current).
For example, create a new profile “Interface5” and specify that it must contain only the interface settings. The next time this profile is made current, only the interface settings will be changed, while file formats and papers settings will remain unchanged.

Profile import / export

The current profile can be saved (exported) into a file with a .WIP extension.
Once a profile is saved, it can be exported as a WIP file to different computers. So, for example, predefined settings can be transferred to all workstations in a department in a moment.
If after making changes to the current profile during a WiseImage session one wants to revert to a previous profile, then simply import the corresponding WIP file.
During profile exporting specify which of its three parts must be written into a file. Importing of WIP file modifies only those parts of a current profile which were saved into this file. Other settings will remain unmodified.
For example, export only the paper settings.
If an imported profile (a WIP file) includes the interface settings part, then WiseImage creates a new profile which has the name of the imported profile. This newly created profile automatically becomes the current one.
Otherwise, if an imported profile does not include the interface settings part, then the remaining part(s) adjust the current profile settings and the current profile name becomes:
Current Profile Name+Imported Profile Name
For example: Vector recognition profile+Corporate paper formats
