Example configuration
Here are some examples, mimicking common set-ups for contact sheets. Copy them to ~/.vcs.conf
to make them default.
In the future you'll be able to pick from different configurations easily, right now you'll have to keep different vcs.conf
files in different directories to use more than one configuration.
Shown below is the default output compared to each configuration.
