3.3 Setting up a Mif2Go project
Mif2Go stores project information in a file
that has the same base name as your FrameMaker document, with extension
.prj. This project file is located in
the same folder as your FrameMaker document.
To specify a conversion project, from the document
or book file click one of the two Mif2Go options on the FrameMaker File menu (see Figure 1-2
FrameMaker File menu with Mif2Go installed
on page 55):
Set Up Mif2Go Export... to
create a new project
Save Using Mif2Go...
to modify or re-run an existing project.
The Mif2Go Choose Project
dialog shown in Figure 3-1
opens.

Name
|
Give a new project a unique
name, or select an existing project from the list. The default
name for a new project is the name of your FrameMaker book or document
file, without extension. Your project list is kept in a file with extension
.prj, located in the same folder as your FrameMaker
files.
|
Path
|
Select a project folder for the converted files.
Browse (...) for the folder where
you want Mif2Go to place output files, or create
a new folder.
Although the default project folder for a new
project is the folder where your FrameMaker document is located, we strongly
recommend you specify a different folder. If you plan to convert the
same FrameMaker document to several different output formats that require
different settings for the same conversion options, create a separate
project folder for each, to avoid overwriting a configuration file.
|
Format
|
Select an output format. If you select
an HTML format, Mif2Go will present you with a configuration
file to edit in Notepad, so you can specify conversion options.
|
Add
|
To add a new project, click Add.
When you click OK, the project is
added to your project list.
|
Modify
|
To change the name, folder, or format of an existing
project, click Modify. When you click
OK, information for the currently
displayed project is changed in your project list.
|
Delete
|
To delete the currently displayed project, click
Delete. When you click OK, all information for the project is removed
from your project list.
|
Huh?
|
To see this information in WinHelp while you
are working, click Huh?
|
OK
|
To save changes you made to the currently displayed
project, Click OK. The Choose
Project dialog is dismissed.
|
Cancel
|
To delete current changes, click Cancel; you lose any additions and changes
you just made. You might want to do this if you accidentally delete the
wrong project, and realize it before you click OK.
|
What happens after you dismiss the Choose Project dialog depends on whether you
are creating a new conversion project or modifying an existing project:
New project:
|
If this is a new
project (no configuration file is present in the project folder), you
get a one-time opportunity
to specify set-up options. See §3.4 Choosing project set-up
options.
|
Existing project:
|
If this is not a new project (a configuration
file is already present in the project folder), use a text editor to
modify existing conversion settings. See §3.5 Specifying conversion
settings.
