Startup Projects

Hiero and HieroPlayer search <path>/StartupProjects/Hiero, <path>/StartupProjects/HieroPlayer and <path>/Templates for preset projects saved as .hrox files. See Mac, Linux, and Windows for a description of the <path> variable by platform.

Projects placed in these folders behave differently, depending on which folder they are read from:

StartupProjects/Hiero or HieroPlayer - projects in these folders are displayed in the bin view at startup and are read only. An example project, Tag Presets, is included in the Tags tab.

Templates - projects in this folder appear in a dropdown menu when you open a new project. Select the template to use for the new project.

Note:  You may need to create the StartupProjects/Hiero, StartupProjects/HieroPlayer, and Templates folders manually in the chosen path.

To remove a startup project, either:

Remove it from <path>/StartupProjects/Hiero, <path>/StartupProjects/HieroPlayer or <path>/Templates, or

Rename the file extension so the application doesn’t recognize it on startup. For example, myStartup.hrox_hidden.

To modify a startup project:

1.   Load the project using File > Open.
2.   Make any required edits and save over the original in the same location.

The edited project loads at startup.
