Hi Allan.
When the button is checked it means read the midi configuration
 from the chosen template (or song), instead of letting MusE
 automatically fill the midi ports with all devices at startup.
This is what you want if you are choosing your own user template
 (versus a built-in one).
It should be automatically set depending on whether you choose 
 a 'User folder' template or a 'Global folder' template file.
So you shouldn't have to worry about it. Just choose your
 template from your 'User folder', and carry on.

The new 'browse' button of course helps you select the file,
 while the new 'back' button lets you reset the file to the default 
 global template 'default.med'.

Tim.
