File Locations

Required Edition

Basic, Professional, Automation, Enterprise Automation

The File Locations page, accessible from the File Locations node of Administration Console, specifies where BarTender will store application specific files. In addition, you can set the default directories where BarTender will save and retrieve documents, images, and scripts, and save those settings for use with another instance of BarTender.

The File Locations page contains three sections:

ClosedFolders

The Folders pane contains a list of directories that BarTender uses to save and retrieve application-related files. To modify a location, simply select a file type in the list. Click the Change Location button and navigate to the desired directory using the Browse for Folder dialog. If the desired directory is not present, you can create a new directory using the Create New Folder button.

You can select directories for the following BarTender components:

To return any component to its default directory, click the Reset to Default Location button.

ClosedConfiguration Files

The Configurations Files pane contains a list of BarTender configuration files that define the behavior of the application. Using this pane, you can change the location and/or select a different file name for each file. To do so, highlight the desired configuration file and select the Change Location button. Navigate to the desired directory and enter the desired file name for the configuration file. To return any file to its default directory, click the Reset to Default Location button.

The settings contained within each of BarTender's configuration files can be saved in a single XML document and transferred between instances of BarTender.

To export configuration files, highlight the desired file(s) and click the Export Settings button to open the Save File dialog. Using this dialog, you can specify a file name and location for the BarTender settings file.

To import settings saved from a different instance of BarTender, use the Import Settings option, and browse to the desired settings file.
