3:10 Mixer preset panel<br />

The Mixer preset panel allows you to rate and view information<br />

about the current Mixer preset. You can also enter your own<br />

information to document own presets before saving them using<br />

the Save Preset button in the Mixer Page Toolbar.<br />

Additionally, this panel allows you to quickly browse through<br />

mixer presets without needing to use the mixer preset chooser<br />

panel.<br />

Photo<br />

Mixer presets can have an associated picture.<br />

When using factory presets, left-clicking the image opens the<br />

author’s specified website URL in the system’s default browser<br />

(although this behaviour can be disabled in the BFD2 GUI<br />

preferences).<br />

If you have not loaded a palette containing an image, a default<br />

image is displayed.<br />

It is possible to add or change the image for the mixer preset<br />

in this panel.<br />

You can specify any JPEG, PNG or TGA image file as a photo<br />

to associate with the kit-piece.<br />

Browse button<br />

Clicking the browse button opens a system file open dialog allowing you to browse to a JPEG, PNG or TGA file to specify as the<br />

imported kit-piece’s photo. The file must have a resolution of 180x150 pixels.<br />

Clear button<br />

Clicking this button removes the photo currently specified for the mixer preset.<br />

Star rating<br />

You can set a rating for the current mixer preset. This is used as a ‘favourites’ system in the Preset chooser when the listing is<br />

sorted by ‘Star rating’, making it easier to find your favourite presets.<br />

You can specify a rating for a mixer preset from 1 (worst) to 5 (best).<br />

When you rate a preset, the rating is immediately saved into the BFD2 database – you don’t need to re-save the preset in order<br />

to store the rating.<br />

Author<br />

The name of the mixer preset’s author is shown here, and can be edited by double-clicking on the field.<br />

URL<br />

Factory mixer presets can contain the website URL of the preset’s author, which is shown here.<br />

Notes<br />

Any additional notes for the preset are shown here. You can double-click this field to edit and enter your own text.<br />

Next/Previous mixer preset<br />

Clicking these buttons steps through to the next or previous available preset. They offer a quick way of cycling through presets<br />

with the minimum of effort.<br />

Please note that there is no warning when switching presets.<br />
