Warning
A template created in an older version of the software can be opened in a newer version.
However, opening and saving it in a newer version of the software will convert the
template to the newest file format. The converted template can't be opened in older
versions of the software.
Opening a package file
Templates can also be stored in a package file (see "Creating package files" on page454). To
open a package file, switch the file type to Package files (*.OL-package) in the Open File
dialog. If the package contains Print Presets, you will be asked if you want to import them into
the proper repositories.
Saving a template
A Designer template file has the extension .OL-template. It is a zip file that includes up to 3
contexts, all the related resources and scripts, and (optionally) a link to a data mapping
configuration.
To save a template, select File > Save or press Ctrl+S. The first time you'll have to give the
template a name. File > Save as allows you to save the template with a different name. The
Save as dialog also appears when saving a template that is read-only.
Tip
To quickly copy the name of any other file, set Save as type to Any file (*.*) in the Save
dialog. Select a file to put its name in the File name field. Then set Save as type to
Template files (*.OL-template) and save the template.
When more than one resource is open and the Designer software is closed, the Save
Resources dialog appears. This dialog displays a list of all open resources with their names
and file location. Selected resources will be saved, deselected resources will have all their
changes since they were last saved dismissed.
