What is a .PMSETTINGS file?
A .PMSETTINGS file is a type of file specifically used by a device called PowerMate, which is an input device similar to a computer mouse. This device connects to your computer through a USB port. Unlike a regular mouse, the PowerMate can be rotated or pressed to perform various functions on the computer, such as scrolling through documents or adjusting volume.
The .PMSETTINGS file contains various settings for the PowerMate device. These settings include how the device behaves when it is rotated or pressed, such as what specific actions are triggered (like scrolling up or down, opening a program, or adjusting brightness). It also stores preferences for the device's LED brightness, which can act as a dimmer.
You can use these .PMSETTINGS files to export or import settings from one PowerMate device to another. This is particularly useful if you use multiple computers or if you want to share your customized settings with someone else who also uses a PowerMate.
To open and modify a .PMSETTINGS file, you will need the specific software provided by Griffin, the manufacturer of the PowerMate. This software allows you to configure the settings stored in the .PMSETTINGS file. If you have this file but do not own a PowerMate device, the file will not be of much use to you.
It's important to note that while PowerMate devices are no longer being sold, they are still in use by many people who appreciate the unique functionality they offer. If you own a PowerMate device, keeping the software for managing .PMSETTINGS files installed on your computer will allow you to customize and control your device effectively.
