Managing Preferences

The Preferences submenu provides several tools to manage your MillMage Preferences. Access the Preferences submenu by going to File → Preferences. For information about adjusting Preferences themselves, see Settings/Preferences.

Importing and Exporting Preferences¶

The following tools are useful for backing up, restoring, saving, importing, and migrating MillMage Preferences between computers.

Tip

User Bundles streamline the process of migrating between computers, allowing you to export not only your Preferences, but also your Custom Hotkeys, Material Test Presets, Image Presets, Devices, Material Libraries, and Art Libraries, all in one bundle.

Import/Export Prefs¶

The Export Prefs command allows you to save a copy of your MillMage Preferences as a .mmprefs file. You can import this file to another MillMage installation using the Import Prefs command.

Open Prefs Folder¶

The Open Prefs Folder command opens the folder containing your MillMage Preferences.

Windows users can find the preference folder at: USERNAME\AppData\Local\MillMage or by typing %LocalAppData%\MillMage in the File Explorer address bar.

MacOS users can find the preference folder at: Users → USERNAME → Library → Preferences → MillMage

Loads Prefs Backup¶

The Load Prefs Backup command allows you to import preferences from a timestamped list of automatic backups. Click a backup in the list to see the list of Devices available in that backup, on the right side of the window.

Click Load to restore the settings from the selected backup, or Cancel to close the window and maintain your current settings.

Edit Hotkeys¶

Opens the Hotkey Editor window, where you can customize keyboard shortcuts.
