Creating A Scheme
If you create a scheme that you think others will find useful please send it to me so I can include it with further releases of MyPixelVault.
A scheme is a set (1 or more) of lists that contain items and associated keywords. All of the lists share a common theme. Please have a look at the schemes that come with MyPixelVault for an idea how they work.
For more information on the structure of schemes look at the sample Astronomy scheme.
Directory Structure...
<MPV install directory>\data\schemes\<name of scheme>
<MPV install directory>\data\schemes\collection\ (location of the scheme files (lists))
Under this directory are the scheme files (lists). The filename should be <description>.txt
	The individual lists are selected from (a), the filename (minus the .txt) is what is used to represent the list, each individual object that exists in (a) is then made available from (b). The user selects this item and all of its keywords are added to the current image/folder/group.
The list can represent anything, for instance we could have list called 'Mercedes.txt' and within it a list of all Mercedes vehicles past and present, the keywords would describe each model.
The structure of a scheme list is as follows;
! description
{
name=<description> this is used to populate the list above (b). Also added as a keyword for this item.
keyword=keyword a keyword for this item, there is no limit to the number of keywords and item can have
}
{
name=<description> this is used to populate the list above (b). Also added as a keyword for this item.
keyword=keyword a keyword for this item, there is no limit to the number of keywords and item can have
keyword=keyword a keyword for this item, there is no limit to the number of keywords and item can have
}
etc.
There is no limit to the number of schemes that can be created.
