Pixinsight newbie needing help.

[oldannie]

I want to create a template of the processes I will normally use in Pixinsight and assumed I would just open them onto my desk top and then save them as a project but when I do this am getting an error message: Win32 error - access denied.  Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

I've not come across a similar thing with a project, but you could set up your icons and then utilise the Process -> Process Icons -> Save Process icons.  You can then save this file somewhere.  When you have a new workspace or project, just go to the same place and use Load Process icons, choose your file and they'll all appear exactly how you saved them.

If you make any changes to the processes, you can just save over this file for use elsewhere next time.  

This makes it a little more flexible as you can have a bang up to date process file that you can reuse.

Thanks Lee - just solved the problem.  Had my dunces cap on and simply named my project without specifying a location!!!  Process template now saved as a template.

I should have said thanks for the info though - that's useful to know Lee.
