FM 8.0.4 Win XP Pro SP3

Is there a way to put the FM templates folder where I want it (Windows), rather than in ...\Program Files\...?

Thank you kindly,
Elchanan

    So that's the mega-sig we've been saved from!

    Franz, I remember a suggestion from the early days of e-mail that sigs should take a maximum of four lines; especially with the Amtsgericht and UI, yours looks more like company note-paper ... Would Systec let you get away with less?

    Hello Mr. Elchanan,

    you can set the location of the templates-Folder in the maker.ini

    There is a key for it you can easily find.
    The same holds true for the New>Portrait document.

    Hope this helps,
    Franz.

    Hi again Art,

    The shortcut works perfectly, thank you. Now I'll set about changing the default New > Portrait template.

    Best regards,
    Elchanan

    I suppose other folders, as well. I focus on this one, because it's visible to authors.

    Hard wired, eh? Guess FM suffers a bit from Orphaned Adobe Product Syndrome (OAPS). :):)

    Shortcut idea is clever, thank you! I'll toy with that a bit.

    Just the \Templates folder?

    I wouldn't move it because the location is hard wired into the installation directory. But you can set up another folder to hold your template files's wherever you want and put a shortcut to it (or the individual files) in Frame's default \template location.
