Configuring XMetaL
Follow these steps on the client computer only if you installed or upgraded XMetaL after installing SDL Contenta.
Procedure
- Copy the XyeXmetalCat.mcr file in XMetaL_home\author\startup to XyeXmetalCat.mcr.bkup.
- Copy the XyeXmetalCat.mcr file:
From: Contenta_Home\Encaps\XmetalEdit\Macros\XyeXmetalCat.mcr
To: XMetaL_home\author\startup\XyeXmetalCat.mcr
- Disable the restoration of the last open documents.
Note: If this option is enabled, it can result in erratic system behavior when launching XMetaL using the Contenta XMetaL tools.
- To change this setting, start XMetaL Author independent of Contenta (that is, do not start from the Contenta tools menu).
- In XMetaL, click Tools > Options.
- On the General tab, uncheck Restore last open documents.
- Click OK.
- If you use XMetaL Ent, do the following:
- Open a command prompt.
- Navigate to the encaps\XmetalEdit\Macros subdirectory of your Contenta_home directory.
- Run the setupXmetalENTmcr.pl script in this location. This ensures that the correct SDL delivered macro files are in the StartUp subdirectory of your XMetaL home directory.
