C.2.1 Files created during set-up

The first time you set up a conversion for a particular FrameMaker document, Mif2Go creates for that document three conversion files: a project file, a FileID file, and a configuration file:

Conversion file	Default file name	File contents
Project	MyDoc.prj	Information Mif2Go collects about conversion-project names, types, paths, and states.
FileID	mif2go.ini	Output-file identifiers called FileIDs, mapped to your document file names; Mif2Go assigns these identifiers.
Configuration	mif2rtf.ini or mif2htm.ini	Settings and options that dictate how your document will be converted.

Mif2Go places the project file and the FileID file in the same folder as your FrameMaker document, and places the configuration file in the project folder, as shown in Figure C-1.

Project file and FileID file

If you run Mif2Go from within FrameMaker, the project and FileID files are created when you click Set Up Mif2Go Export... on the FrameMaker File menu:

MyDoc.prj	Project file for conversions from MyDoc.book (or MyDoc.fm)
mif2go.ini	FileID file for conversions from MyDoc.book (or MyDoc.fm)

See §C.3 Renaming or relocating the Mif2Go project file for more information about these two conversion files.

Configuration file

Mif2Go places the configuration file in the project folder. If you run Mif2Go from within FrameMaker, the project folder is the location you specify via the Choose Project Browse button (...). The configuration file is one of the following:

mif2rtf.ini	Configuration file for your current RTF conversion project
mif2htm.ini	Configuration file for your current HTML or XML conversion project
