There is the default profile already, and if you have set this up how you like, then when you create a new profile, the default profile is cloned to any new profile(s) created.
Hope this helps.
Thanks again.
OK, doing testing, and we use the default profile as the template. for any new profiles.
Only option here is to manually clone the profile your after.
Now, I assume your only worried about the config.xml file, as this has the folder list and all settings. Any other xml file, ie: actor.xml, moviecache.xml etc, will be rebuilt on refresh.
First, create the new profile. and then exit Media Companion
Next, open the file profile.xml in your settings folder, and look down the file till you find the profile you have want to clone.
Code:
<profilename>Phoenix</profilename>
Code:
<config>\Settings\config1.xml</config>
Next, note the extension number for the new profile
Code:
<profilename>test</profilename>
<config>\Settings\config2.xml</config>
<moviecache>\Settings\moviecache2.xml</moviecache>
Finally, in the settings folder, delete the new profiles config.xml file, (from example config2.xml)
and make a copy of the config you wish to clone, and rename it to the correct number extension of the new profile
(copy config1.xml and paste it. Rename copy to config2.xml)
I hope that helps some.
