4.1 Working with Mif2Go configuration files
To add or change conversion settings after you
set up a Mif2Go project, you must edit the contents of one or
more configuration files: text files with
file extension .ini
.
You will need two tools to work effectively with
Mif2Go configuration files:
- The Mif2Go Configuration Manager,
to see and manipulate individual sections and settings selected from
all relevant configuration files and system templates that apply to your
project; see §4.2 Editing files with the Configuration Manager
- A text editor
(even Notepad) to inspect and optionally edit all sections and settings
in individual configuration files:
- Make sure you use only ANSI, or UTF-8, encoding;
do not use UTF-16 for configuration files.
- Do not use Word, or any other application that
gets an exclusive-write lock on files.
You might find it useful to have both tools open
at once, so you can readily see in context, in the text editor, any changes
you make with the Configuration Manager.
