General Settings - Project Options

## General Settings - Project Options |

| On this tab of the General Settings step you can adjust options regarding your install4j project.

| The following options are available: Make all paths relative when saving the project file If this option is checked, install4j will try to convert all absolute paths to relative paths when saving the project file. Relative paths are always interpreted relative to the project file. If you save your project under a different path, all relative paths will be adjusted accordingly. Note: for cross platform usage of a single project file enabling this option is highly recommended, since file system roots are inherently incompatible across platforms. Create backup files when saving If this option is checked, install4j will create a backup copy of existing project files by appending "`~`" to the file name. Auto save every 5 minutes If this option is checked, install4j will save your project file every 5 minutes. Note that if the project has never been saved before, no auto save operation will be attempted.
