Saving and Loading your Settings

Most of your current settings are saved in the user settings file when the Network Analyzer application is closed. But you may probably want to reuse some of your filter settings at a later time, or you want to share filter settings or network address names with other users. In this case you can save or export your settings in many ways.

If you want to reuse specific filter settings, you should add them to the Quick Load list on the Save and Load Filter Settings page of the filter Settings dialog. You can also export your filter settings to disk or import settings from disk on that page.

If you just want to save the settings of one of the dialog pages, you can use the Save Page and Load Page buttons in the lower left corner of the dialog window. Notice that you can only load settings on the same page that was used for saving.

Address descriptions and colors are not saved together with the filter settings. To export or import the address database, use the corresponding menu commands in the File menu. You need to mark address entries in the database as persistent to export them to a file. This is done automatically when you change the description or color of the address. Alternatively you can toggle the persistence state of the address entries on the Address Filter page of the Settings dialog.
