Preference Manager 2.0.3 released

Preference Manager 2.0.3 was released earlier today with some minor new features.

Preference Manager is an application for managing the preference files of Final Cut Studio. Preference files store user preferences and other settings, and can cause strange behavior if they become corrupt. Preference Manager allows you to trash, backup, restore and lock these files for maximum flexibility.

Here are the changes in the latest version:

• Backup editing
  Backup settings can now be edited.
• Import Backup function
  The Import Backup menu item adds a backup to the library without automatically restoring it, unlike Open Backup.
• Project filenames are now listed below the backup name for convenience
  You can now see at a glance which project is associated with a particular backup.
• Support for Boris text plugin preferences
  Preference Manager is now capable of backing up preferences from the Boris text tools included with Final Cut Pro (Text Scrambler, Title 3D, Title Crawl and Vector Shape).

Preference Manager is completely free and is available for download here. View the user manual for a walk-through of some of the new features.
