Delete

This button deletes the selected profile, including all configuration files used in this profile. It is not possible to delete the “Default” profile.

Configuration Profiles

You can select a configuration profile from this list (which will fill in the profile name in the fields down at the bottom of the dialog box).

Profile name

On Windows the profile name cannot start or end with a period (.), and cannot contain any of the following characters: ‘\’, ‘/’, ‘:’, ‘*’, ‘?’, ‘`’, ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘|’, or ‘+’. On Unix the profile name cannot contain the ‘/’ character.
