Folder structure
An important value of SayMore is avoiding opaque databases, which would be unusable apart from SayMore, and thus poor choices for the all-important archiving step of Language Documentation. Instead, SayMore keeps your data in forms that are easy to "get at" and understand, now and in the distant future.
One way SayMore does this is by keeping all the data for a given project in a single folder, named after the project. The "project" folder has two subfolders, one for people, and one for sessions:
Each person's folder contains their associated files, such as their informed consent and picture files.
Each of these subfolders also have subfolders containing segment and annotation files. If you change the Id, the folder and files names are all changed.
Additionally, DescriptiveDocuments or OtherDocuments folders are added to the project folder when you add a file to Descriptive Documents or Other Documents in the Projects tab.
Note
Typically, on Windows®, SayMore stores the project folder here:
C:\Users\<you>\Documents\SayMore
But you can
move a project folder to another location on your computer or to removable external drives.
copy a project folder to another computer to begin collaboration.
Do not directly rename or move individual folders inside your projects main folder.
