Reset Preferences/Factory Reset

When Yate was installed, various built in items were populated throughout the preferences. This is to provide examples and hopefully some useful items. If you want to rid yourself of these built in items, you can reset the preferences via the Yate>Reset Preferences... menu item. Resetting the preferences does not automatically restore the built in items. However, it will restore all of the application default settings. If you want to preserve your current settings, you should export them before resetting so that you can import them back.

On Mountain Lion and above, holding down the Option key will change this menu item to Factory Reset. This option will force Yate back to its initial state when first installed. Again, If you want to preserve any current settings, you should export them before resetting so that you can import them back.

Note that Yate supports the user mapping of Custom fields to audio file components. If you have changed the default mappings be careful not to have any files loaded when doing a reset. The mapping values will be changed by the reset.
