A template can be stored to define the output templates, project values and data source.
This project template has the project configuration last used which will define:
The project template is stored in the templates folder, which will usually be under your appdata roaming folder.
example : C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\WindLeafe\Templates
This can be opened from the application menu : File => Open Template Folder.
The template folder can also be set in the settings dialog that can be opened using menu File => Settings
Any user submissions and new designed items can be seen at the Templates list page.
Any client can submit a template by zipping a template folder and sending to us the zipped file.
The size without images would normally be quite small. If approved, then it will be added into the list of available templates and credited to the submitting user. no contact details will be exposed.
A downloaded project template is a zip file. This file will be opened automatically by the program when you request to start a new project based on a template from the file menu and unpacked into its own folder only if the folder does not exist.
To remove a template completely from your system, delete both the zip file and the folder of the same name in the template folder.
To keep any template changes you have made, pack the folder into a zip file of the same name.
To make a new template,
- copy your project folder in the projects folder to the template folder,
- modify to suit. you should check the files to make sure no untoward data is present, and we will do so as a second check.
This means- removing any data in a csv file but keeping headings
- amending the MyTemplateName.xml to have no credentials or other details you’d not want to pass on.
- tidy up the output tempalte parts
- amending or removing any supporting data like css or images or other.
- zip the folder to a zip file of the same name.
The zip file can then be sent to us for adding to the list of submitted templates.
Once submitted we will let you know when it is made available as a download for others.
