FOLDER MAPPINGS

In FOLDER MAPPINGS you can map file paths in a notation to file paths in another notation and change the root of the notation.

To add a new mapping, follow these steps:
  1. Select Add.
  2. Select a notation for the FROM mapping. Options:
    • Posix: select this option for file paths used on Mac and Linux.
    • UNC: select this option for file paths used on Windows using a forward slash.
    • DOS: select this option for file paths used on Windows using backward slash.
    • URL: select this option for file paths in URL notation (forward slashes, % escape...).
  3. Select a path for the FROM mapping. This path will be mapped to the TO path.
  4. Select a notation for the TO mapping. Options:
    • Posix: select this option for file paths used on Mac and Linux.
    • UNC: select this option for file paths used on Windows using a forward slash.
    • DOS: select this option for file paths used on Windows using backward slash.
    • URL: select this option for file paths in URL notation (forward slashes, % escape...).
  5. Select a path for the TO mapping. To this path the FROM path will be mapped to.
  6. Select Save.

Example

You have the following situation:
  • A storage that is mounted as /Volumes/CompanyStorage/ on Mac and as \\CompanyServer\CompanyStorage on Windows.
  • A file on the root of that volume that is called test.pdf, and that uses an external file in the same folder, called image.psd.
When you save test.pdf in for example PACKZ on Mac, the reference to the image is stored as /Volumes/CompanyStorage/image.psd. However, if you want to use this reference on windows, it needs to be stored as CompanyServer\CompanyStorage\image.psd. In this case, you have to use the following parameters:
  • FROM
    • Notation: Posix
    • Path: /Volumes/CompanyStorage/
  • TO
    • Notation: DOS
    • Path: \\CompanyServer\CompanyStorage
