Project

This tab contains mainly settings related to saving projects.

Default project location

This section allows to specify the folder where new projects will be saved. The folder can be selected by clicking the "" button to the right of the address bar.

In addition to the folder, it is possible to select how projects will be sorted. The following options are available:

  • Monthly - in the default folder, a subfolder with the year of creation is created first, followed by a subfolder with the month number. Projects are placed in this subfolder
  • Annually - subfolders are created in the default folder according to the year of creation, projects are placed in these subfolders
  • Do not sort - projects are placed directly in the selected default folder, the program does not create any subfolders

Project description mode

In this section, you can complete the project name (and project folder name) with automatically generated information. The following options are available:

Insert project identifier

  • Adds a two-digit unique project identifier before the name. It consists of a combination of numbers and letters. The identifier is useful in situations where members from multiple jobs may be combined in production. In such cases, it is possible to select the "short description" style for members in the "Shared Settings" part of the "Saw settings" tab. The members are then marked with a six-digit description, where the first two characters correspond to the project identifier.

Insert date of creation

  • Adds the creation date in YYYY-MM-DD format after the project name.

Always perform the action when starting the program

With this setting, it is possible to choose how the program should behave when it starts. The following options are available:

  • Show starting dialog - starts a dialog box where you can choose the next procedure (start a new project, open an existing one, etc.)
  • Open an existing project - starts the "Open" dialog box to select an existing job
  • Open last used project - opens automatically the project that was closed last
  • Do not perform any action - opens a blank program window
