All properties can be set as defaults in a configuration file in the [GlobalAffaConfig] section. This is useful, when you set up many similar jobs.

For all 'name=value' properties defaults can be set in the [GlobalAffaConfig] section which are used in all job configuration when the corresponding property is omitted. For example, when these properties are set in [GlobalAffaConfig] section, they can be omitted in the specific job configurations. This is useful, when you set up many similar jobs.  
    
Example: You want to set the property 'localNice' to 19 for all jobs. Then add the following section in one of your configuration files:
