A snapshot is a collection of settings at a given point of time for a configuration
3.8.2 Managing snapshots
Overview
When opening the snapshot window an overview of all available snapshots is given. A snapshotfile is
built up as a tree of settings.
To open this tree of settings, click on the ’+’ sign to expand a branch.
A yellow warning symbol in front of the snapshot name means that something inside the snapshot does
not correspond with the current active configuration. Expand the snapshot tree to see the differences.
Such a snapshot can be applied to the current configuration but only the corresponding setting are loaded
and for the other settings, the current values remain in place.
Some examples when a warning symbol can be displayed:
• projector not (anymore) in the configuration
• inputs on projector are swapped, or missing.
When a snapshot is selected, the name of the snapshot is yellow.
