Moving/controlling location of MF6 menu Favorites
How can I control/tell MF6 where to find my menu favorites, so I can copy them from my old machine to my new machine? I don't see any preferences option to do this.
Somewhere's on this forum there are some examples, couldn't find them.
Here's my description:
You have to use care when doing this.
I did have some problems with MF5 using menus with more then 9 thumbnail links on it. Although others have used more at least on my machine when I use these templates MF5+ eventually produced an error or forced me to reboot (XP).
When you install MF6 the menus are under this location:
C:\Program Files\Ulead Systems\Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6\Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6\Content\Menu Template
Under the directory \Menu Template there are some more directories, each one relates to whether your project is 4:3 / 16:9 or HD-DVD (Basic)
Going into the 4:3 directory you will see some more sub-directories, 4 I believe, you are going to add a fifth.
Put a new directory called Favorites in the 4:3 directory, the 16:9 directory and HD-Basic directory
Example:
C:\Program Files\Ulead Systems\Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6\Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6\Content\Menu Template\4x3\Favorites
C:\Program Files\Ulead Systems\Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6\Ulead DVD MovieFactory 6\Content\Menu Template\16x9\Favorties
Copy only your .ufo menu template files into this new favorites directory, to correspond accordingly whether 4:3 or 16:9 menus.
On my system I could put a thumbnail menu with 9 links on it, if I went over 9 I ran into some problems. Maybe MF6+ is different, not sure, that was using MF5+.
