It is very important to have the right settings for the task you are going to do.
Going through all pages every time you start a new project and verifying the settings could be time consuming and risky for mistakes.
It is possible to adjust the settings and save them as a template. Next time you start the program or display the Project Settings just click on the template and the associated settings will be loaded automatically.
When freshly installed EZTitles will have only one item in the project templates list: "Last Settings Used". This is a special item that can't be deleted or renamed. Every time you do some changes in Project Settings the program remembers them. The last used settings are loaded on start and this item is used to refer them. And also, if the current settings match exactly the settings from a template, EZTitles will highlight the template in question in light blue, as shown below:
The project template includes all settings in the pages on the right side of the window. First adjust the settings and then use the New button to create a template.
If you want to change the parameters of an already existing template first click on it to get it loaded, then go to the appropriate page and make the changes.
When you are finished just press the Save button. Delete button deletes the selected template.
You can easily rename or re-arrange the order of appearance of all the templates by simply right clicking with the mouse on a template.
Another useful feature may be the option to group the templates. It is very convenient when the list of templates grows up. Right click on the template, select Rename from the drop-down menu and enter the group name in the displayed dialog window.
It is also possible to sort the templates in a group by name. For that matter simply right click on Group's name and select the Sort option from the context menu.
Importing and Exporting Project Templates
EZTitles allows you to Import project templates from a file or to Export them to a file which you can later share with a colleague. To do so, simply right click in the Project Templates section and select the corresponding Import Templates or Export Templates options from the context menu.
The image below shows what happens when Importing templates from a file. Exporting of your templates goes through the exact same steps.
Import Project Templates
All available in the file templates will be listed and you can choose the ones you don't want to import: select such template and then click the Remove button.
Note: Selecting a template group and clicking the Remove button will discard all of the templates it contains.
After that you can click on the Import and all listed templates will be imported. If you already have a template that matches the name of one of the imported templates, EZTitles will ask you to overwrite/update it or not:
Note: From here you can backup/share just the Project Templates you've created. If you need to create a full backup of your settings including Templates, Dictionaries, Shortcuts, Visual Layout, etc, please consider using Tools/Backup Settings instead.
