Options dialog - File Locations tab
You use the File Locations tab of the Options dialog to specify the location of the various types of file that relate to Project Viewer. The tab lists the file types and the location in which each type of file is stored.
If you specify a location for a file type that is on a network drive rather than on your local computer, we recommend that for best performance, you map the network drive on your computer. For example, if you set a location for your live projects that is on a network drive, mapping that drive on your computer makes it easier to open projects from that folder.
How to access the Options dialog
To access the Options dialog, click the File tab, then click Options.
Explanation of the fields and buttons on the dialog
| Field/Button | Description |
|---|---|
| File locations | A list of the file types used by Project Viewer and the location in which each type of file is stored. Click a file type to select it in the list. |
| Default | Click this button to restore the location of the selected file type back to the default setting. |
| Modify | Click this button to change the path of the selected file type. |
| Clear | Click this button to clear the path of the selected file type (macro files only). |
| Only use the given file locations for borders and templates |
In the case of border files, you can specify whether Project Viewer should search not only in the folders that are specified on this dialog, but also in other locations - for example, in the folder in which Project Viewer is installed. You may want to prevent borders in other locations from being presented to you each time you print, to ensure that you use only the appropriate borders.
Select this check box to prevent additional borders from being presented to you, or clear the check box to specify that borders in other locations should be presented to you alongside the borders that are stored in the folders specified on this dialog. |
