Introduction
Geocap provide empty folder structure for various types of projects. This will give you a starting point to get organized with your own project. A project template either gives you a ready made folder structure, or it gives you a suite of folders to choose from.
Exercises
Exercise
Create a new, empty project
- File > New > Project
- Select the General template
- Give your project a proper name e.g. ExampleProject_1. Avoid special characters (except <space> _ and -) in these names.
- Select a Directory for your project and observe the total project path, e.g. C:/tmp .
- Click Next.
- Select a Generic folder (or none at all)
- Click Finish
- Check out the folder structure on disk and observe the db-folder. This is where your project stores the main project file and an index file in addition to the project files. The main project file is now C:/tmp/ExampleProject_1/db/ExampleProject_1.db. Never alter or edit the content of this folder - your project may then get corrupted and unreadable.
Tip
An empty project may be used for communicating relevant data to colleagues or for analysis and trouble shooting by support@geocap.no.
To send parts of a project to us in Geocap Support, even only a single dataset, you may copy the dataset (or a folder) from your main project and paste it into this empty project. Then zip and send the disk folder projectname.zip.
