PROGRAMMING INDIVIDUAL PRESETS

Each QuickLauncher preset button can be individually configured by clicking on the preset with the right-hand button of your mouse (“right-click”). This pops up a small configuration window for programming the clicked preset. Shown below is an example configuration screen that comes up when right-clicking on QuickLaunch preset button #1.
 

The large square on the top right is simply a display indicating which QuickLaunch preset button you are currently configuring (in this case, “1”).

There are three pieces of data you need to program in for each preset: the “Caption”, the “File/Path” and a checkbox called “Loop”. 
 
Caption
“Caption” is a short nickname you can give to the preset to help identify what file is programmed into it. This caption will be displayed on the face of the preset button once configured.

In our example, the number “1” is showing because that is the default caption for preset #1.

But if you wanted to, say, program this preset with a sound effect of a siren, you might replace the current default caption with the word “Siren”.
 
NOTE:  This field has been sized to the size of the available caption area of the preset button.  While it is possible to type in a caption longer than the width of this field, it is not recommended, since this will affect the quality of the caption display on the preset button.

 Loop
Check this box if you wish the audio file to “loop” (keep replaying itself over and over) when the preset is clicked. Looping playback will go forever until you either manually stop playback with the Launcher’s “Stop” button or launch another sound file.

File/Path
This field (initially blank) is where you tell harbor the actual name of the audio file you want associated with this preset button.  The full file path including drive, directory(s), filename and extent are required (e.g. “D:\SoundFX\siren.wav”).

You can type in the full path name yourself, or you can use the “Browse” button just to the right of this field to browse your system for the file you desire.

Moving your mouse over this field displays the full path name of the preset audio file as the mouse cursor’s “tool tip”. This is handy for seeing full file paths that are too long to fully fit in the “File/Path” display field as well as for seeing the current configuration of a preset into which a new file has been dragged and dropped (see below).

Browse Button 
Click this button to pop up a standard Windows “file dialog box”, which allows you to browse your system’s (or network’s) drives and folders for the audio file you wish.  When you find and select the desired file, the dialog box will disappear and the selected file name will appear in the File/Path field.

Help Button 
As described in the help documentation on Application Controls, all Help buttons in Harbor (the ones labeled with the green and white question mark) are programmed to display the part(s) of Harbor’s built-in help documentation relevant to the current window.

OK
This standard-style Windows button will save the settings currently displayed on the preset configuration form and reconfigure the preset button accordingly.  The configuration window will then disappear from screen and return you to the main Launcher window.

Cancel
This standard-style Windows button will hide the preset configuration form and return you to the main Launcher window without saving any changes that may have been made to the preset configuration information.

If changes have been made to the preset configuration, Harbor will warn you and ask you if you do indeed want to cancel without saving the changes before it actually does so.

NOTE:  You will notice that any new or changed configuration text will be red in color as opposed to the normal black font color. Additionally, checkboxes whose setting has changed will have a red “drop border” around them. This is a standard Harbor Audio Manager convention for all its configuration screens.
  Black text and “un-bordered” checkboxes always indicate data that has already been saved or is unchanged from the last time it was saved.  Red text and checkboxes with red drop borders indicate values or data that has changed but not yet been saved.
