Creating the ThunderMOS.ini File
If you intend to use the Thunder Select plug-in at your newsroom workstations, you must
create the
ThunderMOS.ini file on each Thunder device. The ThunderMOS.ini file
identifies the location of the default database by pointing to the
ThunderMOS.cfg file.
To create the ThunderMOS.ini file:
1. On the Thunder’s C drive, in the Thunder directory ( C:\Thunder ), create a file called
ThunderMOS.ini .
2. Open it with Notepad.
3. Add a single line with the full UNC path to the
ThunderMOS.cfg file, using the
following format:
\\<machine name>\<directory>\<file name>
