30.5.2 Editing a project configuration file

Mif2Go maintains a set of annotated templates for starting project configuration files, in directory %OMSYSHOME%\m2g\system\starts, to accommodate settings intended to apply only or primarily to individual conversion projects. Do not modify these templates; they will be overwritten each time you update Mif2Go. Instead, if you want to customize a starting project configuration file for your particular operating environment, copy the appropriate file to %OMSYSHOME%\m2g\local\starts and edit it there.

To modify settings for an individual conversion project, edit the project configuration file located in the project directory.

When you start a conversion project from within FrameMaker, Mif2Go copies the correct starting project configuration file for you, if one is not already present in the project directory. See §3 Converting a book or document. This new file is copied from:

The output type you want to produce determines which starting project configuration file the Mif2Go plug-in copies to the project directory. Table 30-5 lists the names of these files.

Near the top of each starting project configuration file you will find a setting that links that file to an output-specific configuration file. For example, for Word output:

[Templates]

; Where the rest of the configuration settings are:

Configs = %omsyshome%\m2g\local\config\local_m2rtf_config.ini

Avoid disturbing this setting, or you might break the chain that leads to all the other configuration settings that apply to your conversion project. If you are using a source-specific configuration file, your starting project configuration file will also include a setting that links to that file; for example:

[Templates]

Document = g:\omnisys\ug\_config\m2gug_htm_document.ini
