<p>Profiles have been introduced to provide way efficient way of coping with a situation where using
multiple distinct project settings is necessary, e.g. an observer uses multiple cameras or telescopes.</p>
<p>A profile keeps a set of configuration parameters that are presented in the <a class="reference internal" href="project_settings_dialog.html#project-settings-dialog"><em>Project settings dialog</em></a>. In general, all parameters that affect the data processing in some way are
handled by profiles.</p>
<p>Each profile is stored in the file system as a separate file. They might be stored in any directory, the
programs keeps track of the last folder used, but it is recommended to keep all your profiles in a single
directory. Profiles are distinguished by their name, the name is derived from the file name by trimming
the “cfg” extension.</p>
<p>The most frequent use of profiles is at a time of creating of a new project, where an initial set
of configuration parameters are loaded from a profile. A profiles can be created and updated using the
<a class="reference internal" href="project_settings_dialog.html#project-settings-dialog"><em>Project settings dialog</em></a>.</p>
