Saving and reusing optimization settings

Fireworks remembers the last optimization settings you used after you perform any of the following actions:

• File > Save
• File > Save As
• File > Save As/Save as a Copy
• File > Export

Fireworks then applies these settings to new documents.

You can also save custom optimization settings for future use in optimization or batch processing. The following information is saved in custom preset optimizations:

• Settings and color table in the Optimize panel
• Frame delay settings chosen in the Frames panel (for animations only)

To save optimization settings as a preset:

1. Select Save Settings from the Optimize panel Options menu.
2. Type a name for the optimization preset and click OK.

   Saved optimization settings appear at the bottom of the Settings pop-up menu in the Optimize panel and in the Property inspector. They are available in all subsequent documents. The preset file is saved in the Export Settings folder in your user-specific Fireworks configuration folder. For information on the location of this folder, see About user configuration files.

To share saved optimization settings with another Fireworks user:

• Copy the saved optimization preset file from the Export Settings folder to the same folder on another computer.

  NOTE

  The location of the Export Settings folder varies depending on your operating system. For more information, see the previous procedure.

To delete a custom preset optimization:

1. In the Optimize panel Saved Settings pop-up menu, select the optimization setting you want to delete.
2. Select Delete Settings from the Optimize panel Options menu.

   You cannot delete a Fireworks preset optimization setting.
