Save Preferences
There are two ways to retain your settings:
Save: creates a *.ini file that stores your settings. You can quickly reload any saved configuration from the drop-down list. The last selected .ini file is loaded automatically when you start a new GO2cam session.
If you don’t save, GO2cam keeps your current settings and reloads them each time you start a new session.
Finally, you can be back to GO2cam Default configuration by clicking the button ‘Default init’.
