Default Editor Project Folder

Hi,

Is there a way to define a Default Editor Project Folder in the repackager tool?

(Screenshot attached)

Thanks in advance

Yes, edit Options.ini (located in [ProgramFilesFolder]AdminStudio\xx.x\Repackager) and add the following to the [General] section:
Project=\\WhateverYouWant\

Evan,

Thank you.

Is there a way to pass this argument dynamically over? i dont want to use the same ISM target file each time i run the setup capture 😉

There's not a super-easy way that I can think of, but I suppose you could use a powershell or vbscript, or write a WiseScript .exe, or InstallScript .exe (or whatever) that would dynamically reach into options.ini and change the folder and .ism filename. What I tend to do is prepopulate it with something such as \\MyAdminStudioShare\Projects\****RENAME_THIS_FOLDER****\***RENAME_THIS_FILE***.ism

Because of the use of illegal characters (asterisks), Repackager won't let anybody forget and build it without renaming.

Evan,

Thank you.

Ive now created a script for this purpose.

However each time i open the adjusted repackager project it will only append my string to the default output proposal

Even if i manually open the project, adjust the output path -> save it -> and reopen the project it will append it to the default output proposal.

I am working with/on UNC Paths (\\myserver\).

may this be the cause?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Can you post a screenshot of the issue?

Okay, after re-reading your post I think I know what your issue is. That was a bug that has been fixed in AdminStudio 11.5.

The issue number is IOB-000060441
Issue summary: Using a UNC path for the Editor project path concatenates the path when saved.

It is listed in the AdminStudio 11.5 Release Notes as one of the issues that has been fixed.
