To create a new setting with SynVisum, a new SynVisum Setting File (what is called document file) is must be created and saved first to define its location.
The saved location (folder) is meaningful for following operation.
SynVisum's document file records locations of material files, such as still image files and Quartz Composition files.
Note that only locations of those files are recorded, contents are not.
Once a file's location is set, it cannot be changed.
(it is possible to set again as another file)
How to record a file's location is differ depending on the location.
- If the material file resides in the folder (or its sub folder), in which SynVisum document file resides:
The location of the material file is recorded as relative from the folder, in which SynVisum document file resides.
In most cases, this is preferable way, especially if the setting is transferred to other computers.
Gathering all material files in the folder (or its sub folders) in which SynVisum document file resides, it will be reproduced almost perfectly.
(there is still possibility of difference of Quartz Compositions that are provided by system)
- In other cases:
The location is recorded as relative from the user's home folder.
In a figure below, [filter.svm] and [test.svm] are SynVisum document files.
Using material files in a folder [image] , or Quartz Composition file [Blur.qtz], it will be reproducible if the folder [test] is transferred in whole.
On the other hand, the still image file [Scan.tiff] will be recorded as relative from user's home folder [yuji].
It will not be reproduced, in most cases, if the folder [test] is transferred.
(but it will become reproducible if later the folder [Pictures] (including the file [Scan.tiff]) is placed in the folder [test] (but not sub folder) )
