3:10 Mixer preset panel
The Mixer preset panel allows you to rate and view information
about the current Mixer preset. You can also enter your own
information to document own presets before saving them using
the Save Preset button in the Mixer Page Toolbar.
Additionally, this panel allows you to quickly browse through
mixer presets without needing to use the mixer preset chooser
panel.
Photo
Mixer presets can have an associated picture.
When using factory presets, left-clicking the image opens the
author’s specified website URL in the system’s default browser
(although this behaviour can be disabled in the BFD2 GUI
preferences).
If you have not loaded a palette containing an image, a default
image is displayed.
It is possible to add or change the image for the mixer preset
in this panel.
You can specify any JPEG, PNG or TGA image file as a photo
to associate with the kit-piece.
Browse button
Clicking the browse button opens a system file open dialog allowing you to browse to a JPEG, PNG or TGA file to specify as the
imported kit-piece’s photo. The file must have a resolution of 180x150 pixels.
Clear button
Clicking this button removes the photo currently specified for the mixer preset.
Star rating
You can set a rating for the current mixer preset. This is used as a ‘favourites’ system in the Preset chooser when the listing is
sorted by ‘Star rating’, making it easier to find your favourite presets.
You can specify a rating for a mixer preset from 1 (worst) to 5 (best).
When you rate a preset, the rating is immediately saved into the BFD2 database – you don’t need to re-save the preset in order
to store the rating.
Author
The name of the mixer preset’s author is shown here, and can be edited by double-clicking on the field.
URL
Factory mixer presets can contain the website URL of the preset’s author, which is shown here.
Notes
Any additional notes for the preset are shown here. You can double-click this field to edit and enter your own text.
Next/Previous mixer preset
Clicking these buttons steps through to the next or previous available preset. They offer a quick way of cycling through presets
with the minimum of effort.
Please note that there is no warning when switching presets.
