The Default Catalog Folder

The default catalog folder is the location where Express Server puts images that you upload to create a new catalog, along with other associated files. The LizardTech factory default location is C:\LizardTech\Express Server <version>\ImageServer\var\catalogs\, but you can specify a new default location for newly created catalog folders if you wish.

NOTE: When you upload imagery to create a new catalog, the location specified here will be what you see in that catalog's Catalog Folder field on its Basic properties tab unless and until a new location is specified there.

Setting the Default Catalog Folder

To specify the default catalog folder:

1. Open the Express Server Manager (see Accessing the Express Server Manager).
2. Click Settings on the top navigation bar, then select the Basic tab on the left-hand navigation and click Edit.
3. Click the Browse button next to the Default Catalog Folder setting to search for a location. The Select Default Catalog Folder dialog opens.
4. When you find the desired folder, click it once to select it, then click Add.
5. Click Save.
6. If you have no further settings to edit, click Publish.
