M1plus Directories and Paths
With the installation in parallel the directories and paths of the programs and data have changed. Every version installed by you has directories and paths of its own. You can recognize the paths by their version number (here 5.1.029):
- The global pattern parameters and modules are saved in the file D:\ Stoll\ M1plus\ x.x.xxx\ ConfigData\ GlobalParameters.mdv by default.
- The global pattern parameters and modules referring to special machines and gauges are by default saved in files indicating machine class and gauge.
Example: D:\ Stoll\ M1plus\ x.x.xxx\ ConfigData\ GlobalParameters_752_E9.2.mdv - The machine database is saved in the file D:\ Stoll\ Database\ Machine\ mcclient_backend.mdb by default.
- Sintral programs (e.g. ylc.sin) are saved to the D:\ Stoll\ M1plus\ x.x.xxx\ Database\ Sintral\ transition directory by default.
- The KnitLAN file directories are saved to the D:\ Stoll\ KnitLAN directory by default.
- The Util file directory is saved to the C:\ Programme\ Stoll\M1plus\ x.x.xxx directory by default.
Via
Windows Start / / / , you call-up the M1 Utilities (m1utilselect.exe) dialog box with the available auxiliary programs.
In the Program Settings / tab you will find further paths and directories.
Note the following points:
- Notice the paths if you change the drives when installing.
- If you have made links to additional programs of the M1plus on the desktop, then these links will still refer the old directories even having installed a newer version.
Link the programs newly or update the paths in Properties dialog box of the links. - The file extensions of the Stoll file formats (e.g. mdv, sin, set, jac, ...) are linked to the version installed at last.
Due to it, double-click will open the mdv files in the version of the M1plus installed at last. - Start the desired version of the M1plus and open the mdv file via the / menu if it does not match automatically.
- The data directories will be deleted by Uninstallation.
All unchanged Stoll data will be deleted.
These directories and files will be retained if they contain modified or own data.
