Presets - strohne/Facepager GitHub Wiki
In the Menu Bar you will find a button to open a list of presets. These presets will help you to simplify your Facepager experience. Every preset includes a short description and an overview about its functionality.
See the Getting Started tutorial to get a basic understanding about how to use the default presets. In the following sections you will find an introduction to editing and sharing presets.
Presets marked with an asterisk are included by default. They are downloaded from GitHub automatically and stored inside the application directory everytime you start Facepager. Your own presets are stored in your user directory as shown in the Status Bar of the preset window (e.g. C:\Users\username\Facepager\Presets). They may be copied, distributed and shared with other users. Click the Status Bar to open the directory.
We encourage you to share your presets with us – do so by mailing the .json-file to the authors of Facepager and provide a short description of your preset!

Create a preset
Use presets to store and load your settings for certain API calls. These presets store your custom table column setup, the selected query module and its settings. No data or private access tokens are stored!

You can load presets provided by other users. Open the preset folder by clicking onto the path in the status bar of the preset window. Then copy the preset into this folder. Click Reload in the preset window or restart Facepager.
