Shot Preset File

You can have SynthEyes read and write shot presets to a specific file using the SYNTHEYES_SHOT_PRESETS environment variable. This is a file name, not a path name. You should probably start with a copy of the system presets.

The normal final file name is shotpreset.txt, and presets are read first from the user folder, then the system application folder. This allows the user to write their own local copy. When the environment variable is set (for example to a shared file for a work team), then the specified file is used as a priority, and the system copy only if the environment file is not found.

Important ! The file name is used when the user creates a new preset or deletes one, as well as for reading them. If you do not want any user to be able to change your shared presets, set up file permissions to prevent unwanted changes.
