IconMaster Installation and Configuration Manual 155
Chapter 8: Configuring IconMaster
Opening an Existing ICU Configuration File
Database files are saved in the Documents and Settings → All Users →
Application Data → Harris → IconMaster directory on your local drive.
1. Start IconMaster, as explained on page 151.
2. At the IconMaster Configuration Utility main menu window, select File →
Open. The Open A Configuration dialog box will appear.
3. Select a configuration file (XML file) from the displayed list. If the XML
file resides in a different location, use standard Windows navigation
techniques to move to the location of the file you want to display.
4. Highlight the name of the file you want, and then click Open.
Saving Databases
Saving to a New Database
1. From the menu bar, click File, and then select Save As. The Save As dialog
box will appear.
2. In the File Name drop-down list box, do either of the following:
• Enter a name for the database that will hold the changes you just made.
• Highlight the name of an existing database (use standard Windows
navigation procedures to select a location different from the default
location). Be very careful doing this. Saving to an existing database
will cause the software to overwrite the original database settings. It
will not append your new changes to the existing database.
3. Click Save.
4. (Optional) Upload the effects to the IconMaster frame. See “Uploading
Databases” on page 155 for more information.
Uploading Databases
Changes made in an ICU dialog box will not take effect until the saved database
has been uploaded to the IconMaster frame. To upload changes:
1. Save your current configuration file.
CAUTION
ICU for IconMaster 3.1 has been tested for backwards compatibility
with Iconmaster 1.5.3 and IConmaster 2.X configuration databases.
However, re-verify all configuration settings before applying them
to the IconMaster.
It is strongly recommended that you back up your old configuration
file before using a new 3.1 configuration file.
