0 = False

Defaults to False

None.

Open DNA file with no items selected

Do you want to open a DNA file with none of the items selected?

If true, the DNA file is loaded with no items selected to migrate. This lets you open a template and apply only what is selected in the template (selective apply).

Detect scripts as every selected user

Do you want to detect system and application scripts based on settings for all selected users or only on the currently selected user?
