Users

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 Backdraft Conform. 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, 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.

User preferences are maintained in the user home directory on the system disk.
