Project Files

TFDVDEdit automatically creates a project file for each VIDEO_TS folder (project) that you open.

It is important to understand how the project preference files work. The preference files are always found at /root volume/Users/user name/Library/Preferences.

The file with the name "com.tfdvd.TFDVDEdit 3.plist" is the application preference file. This file contains the serial number validation info, the application preferences as shown in the preferences dialog, and additional parameters such as the current paths for file dialogs. You should not delete this file unless your preferences get corrupted. If you delete it it will be regenerated, but you will have to enter your application serial number again.

Additional files will be created with the names: "com.tfdvd.TFDVDEdit 3.project.xxxx", where xxxx is the enclosing folder name for each VIDEO_TS folder that you open. Such files are always created even if you never save the project. Moving the project has no effect on finding the project file. Unfortunately, multiple enclosing folders with the same name will battle for who gets to have a project file, each time you open one of them.

You may open any preference file with the Property List Editor if you wish to see what is inside it. This utility is provided as part of the Mac OS X XCode tools. It may also be opened with any XML editor. TextEdit will show you the raw XML code.

Currently all of the fields in the preference file pertain to the layer break. We intend to add more fields for other purposes later. (After 3.0 release).
