Multi Path 2.2

This macro gives multiple users the ability to store path configurations to be used on one installation of Ami Pro.  Different sets of paths can be saved under whatever name or label pleases the user.  There is no presently determined limit to the number of configurations that can be stored.  Multi-Path 2.0 now supports configurations for the following directories:

Documents

Style Sheets

Backup

Macros

When Multi-Path starts, the user is notified of storage areas and initial settings.

To change the current configuration to a new one, select one of the defined sets from the list and select Set.  If you want to add (store) a new configuration, select Add.

Enter a name or description for this configuration, change the paths to desired locations, specify the default style sheet, select the desired view level, then select Save.  If invalid directories have been entered, Multi-Path will notify you before proceeding.

To remove an entry from the list of configurations in the main dialog box, select Remove.

Existing configurations can be edited by selecting a configuration from the list and selecting Edit.  The same dialog appears that is produced by selecting Add, except the Name box contains the selected configuration label and the path boxes contain the relative paths associated with that configuration.

Note:

MULTPATH.SMM should be placed in any macro directory that would be defined in a path configuration.  For example, The menu item that this macro adds to the File menu called Multi-Path is defined to execute a function in a specific macro file in the default macro directory.  If that default macro directory changes and MULTPATH.SMM is not there, then an error may occur and Mult-Path may not execute properly, or at all.  For a safe measure, any time the default macro path is changed with Multi-Path, a copy of MULTPATH.SMM is made to that directory.
