DJ-MediaTools has introduced new functionality to the presets. They can now be imported and exported as files.
Import/export presets feature
Presets are a handy DJ-MediaTools feature, giving the possibility to save and re-use the album settings for use on other sites or, for example, to exchange them.
The possibility of import/export is an entirely new and most important feature introduced in this update. The ability to download and upload presets in the form of a ".json" file, allows you to transfer and share your settings with other users.
Below you can see the new "Import preset" section, with the possibility to choose the file from your computer and import (upload) it to DJ-MediaTools.
The "Download" button will appear in the options after creating a new preset and saving it.

"Cards" Preset for DJ-MediaTools users
We have prepared one "Preset" as an example. It is available in the presets tab in the DJ-MediaTools component.
You can also check a tutorial showing you how to prepare an album configuration that presents cards. And the configuration shown is just the same as in the "Cards" preset mentioned earlier.
The final effect of the example album looks like this:
Improved inheritance (hierarchy) of settings
There is a specific hierarchy in the DJ-MediaTools component due to several possible item configurations: global settings, album settings, and settings from the menu and module level. It didn't always work correctly before, so we made some fixes to keep everything consistent and working perfectly in this update.
Settings can contain "inherit" and empty input, which means that the given value will be taken from general settings.
The hierarchy of inheriting from lowest to highest priority is:
The image below shows the structure of this hierarchy.
