Introduction to Settings
You can change the configuration of SOFiE in two ways:
-
Through the GUI by using the menu "Tools->Options".
-
Through the text files, by manually editing (with a text editor) the various "properties" files located in "<SOFIE_HOME>\properties" folder.

Settings Paths Declaration
When you declare a path in the settings, use the directory sperator character '\\' or '/' .
There are three ways to declare a path:
-
Relative to the SOFIE_HOME directory (recommended):
Use '.\\' at the beginning of the path or don't use any separator.
e.g: .\\data\\888810008\\to_crypt or data\\888810008\\to_crypt
-
Absolute path:
e.g: C:\\cetrel\\sofie\\data\\888810008\\to_crypt
-
Relative to the SOFIE_HOME but the partition name is guessed from the location where SOFIE is launched:
e.g: \\data\\888810008\\to_crypt is intrepreted as C:\\cetrel\\sofie\\data\\888810008\\to_crypt if SOFiE is launched from C: partition.
This method is not recommended as you may encounter issues if your SOFIE_HOME is shared.
Notice:
We recommend to use a relative path, it implies less work when you decide to migrate your installation to a new infrastructure.
