30 Chapter 1 The LiveType Interface
Creating Custom Categories for LiveType Media files
You can create custom categories for LiveType Media by simply creating a new folder
within the Media folder, such as LiveFont/My folder/My font.
LiveType only recognizes one folder level after the original media category.
You can move “file pair” media files from previous versions of LiveType to another disk,
but they must be in the same folder hierarchy that they were previously located in.
Using Imported Files
When you use graphics or movies from other sources in your project, LiveType needs
to refer to the source files for these external elements. Therefore, once you’ve placed an
image or movie, it’s best not to move or rename the source file. The Images folder in
the LiveType folder hierarchy is a convenient place to store images associated with
your projects.
