Apple Compressor 3 - Manual (Page 105)

Note: You can also create hierarchies of groups (groups within groups). Just drag a group
folder into another group folder.
This custom group
contains three other
custom groups, each
with its own settings.
The Description field displays the number of settings your group contains. Once you have
at least one setting inside the group folder, you can click the disclosure triangle next to
the group folder to show or hide the setting group details. You can also see full details
of the settings in any group by selecting the group and then looking at the Summary
pane in the Inspector window.
Note: You can also drag settings from one group to another group.
To add the same setting to more than one group
1 Select the setting.
2 Click the Duplicate button to create a copy, and rename the duplicated setting.
3 Drag the duplicated setting to another group folder.
Distributing and Sharing Settings
Both preexisting and newly created settings are stored in the home folder at
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Compressor as XML files, with the file
extension .setting. You can distribute and share any of these settings by placing them
into the same location within the home folder of whatever computer you distributed the
settings to. You can also transfer these files the same way that you would distribute any
other file, by emailing them as an attachment or placing them on a server.
A quick and easy way to copy a setting is to simply drag the setting from the Settings
tab to the Finder. From there, you can attach it to an email or copy it to another folder
or volume.
