I recently changed from using Catalogs to using Sessions and started playing around with the settings for both the Root Folder (under Output Tab -> Process Recipe -> File) and Store Files (under Output Tab -> Output Location). While Output Location seems pretty clear (as the place for CO to place any files it outputs, including those used to send files to an external editor) I am a loss to understand what the Root Folder actually does.
I have changed it to see what affect that has, but have not seen any affect from the change. It did not change the location of the images I was processing and it should not change the location for the output files. Also, since the Output location is taken from a browse window that should be an absolute path so I assume it (the Output path) is not related to the Root folder.
Would someone please tell me what the root folder is for? If it matters I work on a Mac running Yosemite and am using CO 7.2.3.
Thanks.
