Linked to SVC-267 although this sounds like it could be a major feature instead of a minor tweek.
Linked to VWR-864 cuz even tho this isn't a direct performance increase it adds the illusion of better performance by tweeking the preferences for what yer doing in-world at the moment.
Linked to Add a "reset to factory settings" button in preferences VWR-382 cuz both features (preset/reset) could be implemented together.
Hey, I'd find this great! I first mused about some related things in 2004 – specifically, that there are times I want to crank everything to to the MAX to take epic snapshots (e.g., Draw Distance = 1024 m which you can do via editing settings.xml), but easily ratchet it back down for quick exploration. Also useful for test environments.
I'm wondering if this could be done by an open source contributor too, some way to read from different settings.xml files while logged in... anyone with expertise wanna chime in on that? Being able to select this with a single click would also be useful for newcomers who feel puzzled by all the options. This looks like it'd involve more work and resources than we'd have time to allocate to anytime soon – resolving as "Won't Finish" but I more accurately mean "Someday Maybe" (which is a resolution status we should get added to this public Issue Tracker in the future!).
Surely it's just a case of having multiple preference files and a hot-key or menu to pick one (which will then be applied as normal, asking to restart if any of the changed settings need it). All the functionality should be there with the current preferences system.
Reopening since you can't vote on closed issues. grins Since Torley already said it's a "maybe in the future" not a "won't fix". xD
Moving this to a Nice to Have and leaving open for voting.
