Two quick questions I did not find answers to in the Doc or forum search:

Joomla 1.5 latest. Akeeba next to latest.

1. Change Default order?
I created a custom profile with lots of exclusions so that the original Default kept the "factory" settings.
But I want the client to use my profile. Since "Default" is #1 that is what she sees first. Can I copy my custom work to Default or make my custom profile #1?

2. In Administer backup files, what is the difference between "Delete" and "Delete files"? What does just "Delete" do?

Thanks!

Hi Julie,

1. This is not possible. The profiles are always listed sorted by their numeric ID, ascending. You can, however, copy the settings from one profile to the other - directly from the database. Just copy the configuration and filters columns between profiles.

2. Delete removes the files AND the backup record. Delete Files removes only the files. The backup record is what's displayed in the Administer Backup Files page, even for backups whose files are deleted.
