Preferences > User Options > Retrieve Options

Reference > Menus > Preferences menu >

Loads previously saved user options into Alias.

Use this menu item to restore option box settings saved during a previous Alias session. The options file contains the values of most Alias option boxes. When an options file is loaded, the settings of these option boxes are restored to the previous values.

A special file named Alias_options can also be loaded. Loading this file causes Alias to set its option box contents to the default settings shipped with the software.

To retrieve options

Choose Preferences > User options > Retrieve options from the menu bar. The file browser appears.
If using the Alias browser, click the Show List button to display the list of files.
Click the filename or double-click its icon in the file lister. If you prefer, you can type the filename and/or the path in full, without selecting anything in the file lister.
Click the Open or Restore Options button.
