Settings - Scope of Options

Defaults
The default setting options are merged from two sources:

Personal defaults. They have higher priority than system and factory defaults.
Whenever you press the Save Settings button in a dialog, your personal defaults are updated to reflect the settings you have selected in that dialog. If you enable Always Save Settings in the File menu, all your settings are saved as personal defaults when you exit a dialog (unless you use exit by pressing Cancel).
Private settings are set in:

$HOME/.easycopy/easycopyrc (UNIX)

%USERPROFILE%/.easycopy/easycopyrc (Windows)
System defaults are saved by the system administrator or a person with administrator rights. System defaults have higher priority than factory defaults.
Factory defaults are built into EasyCopy.
Factory defaults only apply when no information is provided by personal or system defaults.
Whenever this online help facility refers to an option's default setting, it means the factory default.

Options
All image related options are reset to their default values each time you open a new file, make a new screen capture, or paste an image from the clipboard. If you want to process many images with the same set of options, you should save the desired options as your personal defaults.

Printer related options and general options are not reset when you open a new file.
