Saving and loading prompts with text files

The Save and Load icons on the right of the prompt management pane save and load prompt lists to and from files. You can use this feature to create and use multiple collections of prompts for different purposes.

Prompt file format

This is a simple text file with one paragraph for each prompt. If you want to use an attachment put it after the prompt using the syntax shown below, separated by a tab character. The — character in the examples below indicates the tab.

Edit the selected text for grammar and make it more concise — <%TEXT%>
Summarize the selected paragraphs in a single paragraph — <%XML%>
Write brief description of this image — <%FILE%>

Just write a single line of text for prompts without attachments.
