Profiles

A profile is a name, optionally what to make (a pipeline), and the options that differ from the defaults. Apply one and every option it stores is set; everything else goes back to its default. A built-in Default Profile always exists.

In the app

• Apply: the toolbar’s Profiles menu.
• Save: Profiles › Save Options as Profile… saves the current options.
• Manage: Settings › Profiles to rename, reorder or delete.
• Profiles are what the Quick Action and Shortcuts run: one shortcut per profile gives one Finder menu item per profile.

The text you set isn’t part of a profile.

In the web app

Apply from the toolbar (on a computer) or Settings, and save or manage them in Settings › Profiles. They are kept in your browser. Export saves them as profiles.json and Import reads one back, in the same format the app keeps its profiles in.

In the CLI

The CLI can’t apply a profile yet. Every conversion’s report shows the equivalent shapemason command with Copy, so you can run the same options from a terminal.

The format

profiles.json holds a list of profiles. Each profile’s options use the option keys under Profile JSON in the options reference; missing keys take their defaults, unknown keys are ignored.
