Specifying defaults for the Workspace folder location
The default location for your EasyCatalog workspace folder can be specified creating a preference file in your preferences folder, which on the Mac can be found at:
1 | {home folder}:Library:Preferences:65bit Software:EasyCatalog Preferences.xml |
on Windows it can be found at (although it depends on the version of Windows):
1 | C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\65bit Software\EasyCatalog Preferences.xml |
The file should be created using a text editor (such as Notepad or TextEdit) and saves as text (not formatted, such as RTF). If the ’65bit Software’ folder doesn’t exist it should also be created.
The contents of the file is structured as XML, in the following format:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | <easycatalog> <preferences> <scope name="Preferences"> <values> <value key="DefaultWorkspaceFolder" value="My Server:EasyCatalog:Workspace Folder"/> <value key="MultiUserWorkspace" value="true"/> <value key="LockWorkspacePrefs" value="true"/> <value key="PrintFieldMarkers" value="false"/> </values> </scope> </preferences> </easycatalog> |
DefaultWorkspaceFolder and MultiUserWorkspace will only be used when the user has reset their InDesign preferences, and the values shown here will be used in preference to the EasyCatalog defaults. LockWorkspacePreferences disables the ‘Choose’ button and ‘Multiple Users Share This Workspace’ option in the EasyCatalog preferences panel. PrintFieldMarkers when set to true will enable the printing of field markers.
