Opening a package file
Templatescanalsobestoredinapackagefile(see"Creatingpackagefiles"onpage418).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dia-
log.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dis-
missed.
Saving older templates
Savingatemplateinanewerversionofthesoftwarewillconvertthetemplatetothenewestfileformat.
Thismakesitunreadabletoolderversionsofthesoftware.
Thewarningmessagethatisdisplayedinthiscasecanbedisabled.
Tore-enablethismessage(andallotherwarningdialogs),gotoWindow > Preferences > General,
andclicktheReset All Warning Dialogsbuttonatthebottom.
Read-only templates
Alockicondisplayednexttothefilenameindicatesthatthefileisread-only.Savingaread-onlyfile
openstheSaveasdialog,allowingyoutosavethefileunderadifferentname.Thenewfileisthen
openedandcanbeeditedintheDesigner.
Associated data mapping configuration
Whenyousaveatemplate,anydatamappingconfigurationthatiscurrentlyopenwillbeassociated
withthetemplatebysavingalinktothedatamappingconfigurationinthetemplatefile.
Thenexttimeyouopenthetemplateyouwillbeaskedifyouwanttoopentheassociateddatamapping
configurationaswell.
