File Associations

By setting the checkboxes in the file type list, you can link the corresponding image files on your hard drive to CodedColor. Setting a checkbox has the following effects:
 
·When you double click on an image in the Windows Explorer, it is opened in CodedColor.  
·You can still open the image in an alternative Application by selecting Right mouse > Open with  
·The CodedColor icon beside the file has no meaning except to show you, that the default application for opening this file is CodedColor.  
·Your images are not changed or written to!  
·You can always undo the checkbox, and the old file association will be restored.  

The Workdirectory

Apart from a number of application files copied to your C:\Program Files folder, the installer writes some standard file association keys into your registry and creates a Workdirectory which contains among others:
 
·Program settings and log files  
·The annotation database  
·The thumb database  
·Album links  
·Catalogs and print orders  
·Batch conversion directories  
·Export directories  

The Workdirectory is usually found under your C:\Documents & Settings\All Users\ directory or directly below the CodedColor application directory, depending on your Windows version. Since it also holds the database, it may grow in size over time, and you may need to move it to a different location later. Never move or rename any directories inside the Workdirectory manually - use the Installation panel of the Program Settings dialog for this.
