A
user is a profile that provides:
- EditDesk display
preferences
- Module
preferences
- Hot
key assignments for user interface controls
- A filesystem
environment (home directory) for managing preferences
Your user profile is saved every time you switch
to another user or exit Flint. User preferences are maintained
independently of the projects that you are working on. By managing
your own user, you can:
- Save EditDesk preferences
such as user interface, the number and orientation
of desktop reels,as
well as clip information display options. See
Setting Preferences.
- Customize
pen and tablet preferences such as pressure sensitivity and tablet
margins. See
User Interface Preferences.
- Modify
default hot keys and create new ones using the Hot Key Editor. See
Managing Hot Keys.
- Customize
grids and guides for the Player and image window. See
Working with Grids and Guides.
- Customize module-based preferences such as
the colour of the crop box and object icon transparency to set up
modules how you want. See
Saving Setups and Preferences.
User preferences are maintained in the user
home directory on the system disk.
