Relative links

Question: I have a number of WhizFolder documents linked to each other with hyperlinks. But, if I move them to another location, the links stop working because the drive letters and the parent path may not be the same. How to solve this problem?

WhizFolders has an advance option to insert Relative links that automatically solves this problem for any new links that you create with this option on.

But for links created earlier, you will need to edit the hyperlinks to make the path information relative to the document. For example, if the target document is in the same folder, make the JumpFile statement:

[~jumpfile other file.doc]

But if the other document is in a subfolder “other files” of this document’s folder then edit it to make:

[~jumpfile other files\other file.doc]

Once you follow this scheme, the links will continue to work when you move the set of documents to other locations or give them to others.

Where does WhizFolders keep my notes?

Avoid this common misconception. WhizFolders does not keep your notes in some mysterious database hidden away like Outlook does.

You always get a choice to select a file name and a location whenever you create a new WhizFolder file–a sort of notebook for your notes. And you can have many WhizFolder files in many locations.

The List of Files that you see in WhizFolders is just a list and not a database of your notes. It merely lists your files in the recently used order so that you can open them easily from there.

You must understand that all these WhizFolder files are in your file system and have the file type or extension as .wzfolder. Just open Windows File Manager and see Documents folder to look for those files, unless you created them in some other folder. You can even open them from the File Manager by double-clicking on them.
