Omni Systems, Inc. Mif2Go User's Guide, Version 55
> 30 Working with templates > 30.5 Deciding which configuration file to edit > 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:
local\starts
if a configuration
file with the correct name is present; any files here are starting project
configuration files you have customized to suit your operating environment.
system\starts
if there
is no file with the correct name in the local\starts
directory.
The output type you want to produce determines
which starting project configuration file the Mif2Go plug-in copies to the project directory. Table 30
Table 30
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:
; 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:
Document = g:\omnisys\ug\_config\m2gug_htm_document.ini
See §30.5.3 Editing a document-specific configuration file and §30.5.4 Editing an output-specific configuration file.
