File Layout

While Autoplay Media Studio automatically manages all of the files in your project, there may be situations where you need to add additional files to certain locations on the CD-ROM such as installers containing additional dependency files, or files that are not referenced in your project. The File Layout dialog is designed to let you see the directory structure that will be created on the CD-ROM, and let you add and remove files and folders as you need.

The dialog is organized into two areas:

My Computer

The My Computer area contains a Windows folder view of your system. It is split into a folder view on the left hand side and a file view on the right hand side containing the contents each folder. This allows you to browse your local system to select the files you want to add to your project.

Up

Move up one level in the folder view's hierarchy.

My Project

The My Project area contains a Windows folder view of your project as it will be created on the CD-ROM. It is split into a folder view on the left hand side and a file view on the right hand side containing the contents of each folder. This allows you to select a file in the My Computer area and add it to a specific folder in your project.

Note: The CD_Root folder can be seen as the root of the finished CD-ROM. Any files that are referenced in your project through actions should include relative paths, such as _SourceFolder .. "\\AutoPlay".

Up

Move up one level in the folder view's hierarchy.

Add to Project

Add the selected files from the My Computer panel to the selected folder in the My Project panel.

Tip: You can also drag and drop files from the My Computer panel to the My Project panel.

Delete

Remove the selected files or folders from your project.

Note: You cannot remove the default project folders such as "Docs", "Images" etc.

New folder

Create a new folder in the project's layout.
