How to use in practice

Edit settings... gives the user one place where they can edit the application & user settings.

The Project tab allows the setting of the preferred location for p:IGI+'s internal operating files & backup projects. Further details can be found here.

The user can set how many recently opened projects are remembered and easily accessed from within the Project --> Open recent menu.

The default project location is now a setting, so this could be placed centrally and shared across a company and its functionality has been extended to include using .pigi2 files as default projects as well as an _tpl file.

The Auto-artefacts tab allows the setting of the location for user and company template folders. This has been moved from the Project menu in v2.5.
