Loading and Saving Settings

In this section you can save and load all program settings, project templates and other settings together. Thus, it is possible to save the complete program settings on a mobile storage medium and transfer them to other Sequoia workstations.

Saving Settings

Use the Save button to save your current project and program settings in a Setting Container file (*.INZ). This always saves all program settings. By selecting the individual options in the tree structure when saving, you merely specify which options are pre-selected when you later select the file for loading. So they are a reminder for you that a setting container was intended only for a certain subset of settings.

From now on, the saved file will appear as a preset entry in the list box at the top.

Sequoia settings are provided for the following dialogs:

• General Settings
• Project display and window positions
• Audio /MIDI Options
• Toolbars
• User administration (users and user-specific settings in multi-user mode)
• Default project settings
• Default crossfade templates
• Project templates

Loading Settings

Select a Settings Container from the list box above or click the folder button to load a *.INZ file from any folder.

Then specify in the tree structure which settings and templates should actually be loaded from the selected container file. Now press Load and restart to activate the settings. Sequoia then restarts. In addition, a backup container is created that contains the last settings before loading.

Tip: The settings can also be loaded at program start from the start selection dialog!

The Settings containers are stored in the program data folder C:\ProgramData\Boris FX\Sequoia 2025.

There, in the Customize subfolder, you will also find a number of "INI patches" that do not contain complete sets of configuration files (*.ini), but only enable or disable individual settings. These may also be loaded just like a Settings Container via the folder button. After selection is confirmed, a separate dialog window featuring explanations about the respective INI patch will appear.

Note: In multi-user mode, loading Setting Containers is not possible for users with the Fixed Settings property and for users logged in via network login.
