13.1 Settings
The system can be reconfigured to fit the needs of any project at any time after the initial installation using the
shortcut Start|Programs|Barco Apollo|Settings. The following dialog opens:
13.1.1 Project directory
Enter a directory for your project. This directory will contain the license, project-specific ini files, the subdirectory
ApolloDatabase and the subdirectory Log, among others. The database ApolloLayouts.mdb saved in this sub-
directory contains the layout definitions.
This subdirectory has to be made accessible (shared) to all workstations operating the Layout Editor.
Select this directory using the Windows Explorer and open the Properties dialog. Then select the Share tab fol-
lowed by selecting Share as. The share name should be ApolloDatabase.
The project directory is generated only if the Settings dialog is exited with OK!
13.1.2 Language
Select the language from the list field. Apollo is provided in English and in German. However, the user interface
of Apollo can be converted to any 8-bit language using the respective language files; see Apollo Internationalization.
These languages are then also available from the list field.
Close the Settings dialog with OK to accept the settings and close all Apollo applications and restart with the
new settings.
