Library setupCreate your library in a folder you choose
Put your OpenFrame library inside a folder of your own, for example on a larger drive.
Before you start
- The Set up your OpenFrame library screen is open.
Steps
Click Choose a new location in the choice bar.
The choice bar changes the panel below it. Use the default location, the first choice, is what you see when the screen opens.
Click Choose Folder… and pick a folder in the Windows folder window that opens.
The panel says: Choose a folder. OpenFrame makes a folder named OpenFrame inside it for your library. So pick the place that should contain the library, not a folder you have already filled with other files. OpenFrame adds its own OpenFrame folder inside the one you pick.
What you get
OpenFrame creates a folder named OpenFrame inside the folder you picked and uses it as your library.
Watch out for
- If you change your mind later, use Move Library… in Settings on the Storage tab. See the Application Home tutorials.
- Do not pick a folder that you sync to a cloud drive while you work. The default folder avoids that on purpose.
