Default Folders

The default folder settings are used when creating new SimpleIndex configurations. They allow you to create job files that work on computers with different folder structures and to move configurations and image files without having to update multiple job files.

In any of the settings that use a file path you may use special keywords like %DEFAULTINPUT% in place of the actual path.

Some of the default folders are set in the Global Settings Wizard in the Default Data Folders step and others are hard coded in the software.
