Saving and Loading Preference Files
You can save supplementary sets of preferences that can be loaded at anytime to modify the current appearance and behavior of the application. However, you should note that some preferences will only be effective when the application is restarted.
To specify a different preference file to load at startup, Dragonfly can be supplied with the -P (or -p) command line argument. For example, Dragonfly -p alternate.xml will load the file alternate.xml.

- Click the Save As button at the bottom left of the Preferences dialog.
- Select a folder and file name for the new preferences file in the Save As dialog.

How to Load a Preferences File
- Open the Preferences dialog.
- Click the Load From button at the bottom left of the Preferences dialog.
