Can we edit the list of dimension presets (aspect ratios)? Edit: Yes!

Howdy.

Under Render Settings > General is a popup menu filled with common dimension presets (a.k.a. aspect ratios); for example, "Display Wide (5:4)" and "Square (1:1)".

I know that we can add a custom setting to the bottom of the list, but can we edit it? (This would allow us to rename, delete or reorder the list.)

Thanks in advance,

Tim.

    Backup and edit the dzrendersettingsdimensionspresets.dsx file found at the C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\resources directory. Don't blame me if something terrible happens.

    Forgot to mention that you might need Administrator access to edit the file if you're using Windows. Microsoft doesn't want you to do stuff with those installed in the Program Files directory.

    Wonderful. Thank you.

    Note to self: blame y3kman for everything.

    Okay. I've uploaded a modified version of the dimension presets file to ShareCG.

    I've removed a few of the obscure (to me) ratios, sorted the list from widest to narrowest and added "Portrait (2:3)".

    Hope you find this useful.

    Oooh, nifty! That means I could also make a preset for my mobile phone. I mostly use DS to make backgrounds for my mobile, but sometimes I render something else, after which I have to mess around a bit (I always forget to disable the "maintain aspect ratio" setting) to get the proper 1440:2960 dimension again.
