Fact Sheet Fusion supports the opening of databases and projects via the command line (or via Windows Shortcuts).

Opening a Fusion database

<path to executable>\Fact Sheet Fusion.exe “<database name>“

Specifying just the Database name will cause Fact Sheet Fusion to load to the Project selection dialog.

Example opening a project:

C:\program files (x86)\Fact Sheet Fusion v2\Fact Sheet Fusion.exe “My Database”

Opening a Project

When specifying a Project via the command line you must also specify the Database name first.

<path to executable>\Fact Sheet Fusion.exe “<database name>” “<project name>“

Example opening a project:

C:\program files (x86)\Fact Sheet Fusion v2\Fact Sheet Fusion.exe “My Database” “My Project”

Preferences

You can set various application settings through out the application. You can access the preferences options from the Edit menu in the main interface.

Interface States

Fact Sheet Fusion saves your preferred dialog postion, size and layout for the Main Interface (form), Glossary Manager, Media Manager and Image Viewer. This is done automatically each time you open (restores the last used settings) and close (saves the current settings) one of these dialogs.

If for any reason the dialog size or the position is problematic (E.g. Due to a screen resolution change), then you can hold down the shift key while opening the dialog. This will reset the dialogs opening settings to use Windows preferred settings.

Template Settings

The Template settings dialog gives additional information about the selected template. The template author provides information about the features the template supports to help decide on the best export options.

As you can see in the example above the Recommended Settings section outlines image sizes and the supported features and formats of the template.

Tip

These are recommended settings, you can try additional options in the export dialog to see if you get a good result, for example a template may not have been designed specifically to support PDF output, but often the output will be acceptable.

If the template has an associated web page you may want to click on this to check what the template may look like and if there are any additional instructions or updates available.

View template folder

The View template folder button will open the selected template folder in Windows Explorer. This is useful if you like a template but wish to customize it. It is recommended that you make a copy of the template folder and customize this edition.

Note

If you copy a template for customizing you must edit the fsf_template_settings.xml file in your preferred text editor and adjust the name of the template to be unique.

Use recommended settings

This option will apply all the recommended settings to the export dialog. If applied these settings will override any previous related settings already made in the Export dialog. You will receive a warning message regarding this prior to the settings being applied.

Use Template Recommended Settings confirmation dialog
