Where does The Creator or The Logo Creator (before version 7.0) Install all of it's stuff to???

The Creator began using your "Document Library" about 7 years ago when version 6.0 (It was called The Logo Creator back then) was released.

When you install the program, the actual program files (The software that makes it all work) goes in one location, typically where all your program files get installed to, and all the add on sets (the various template and image sets) go in a different location.

​Even though this explanation is for Windows users, the principle is the same for the MAC OS.
Please do not put anything into your Laughingbird document library that does not belong:  Your downloaded installation files, backup copies of zip files, stuff like that!

If you do, it confuses the program, and things simply won't work right.

THE LOCATION AND STRUCTURE OF YOUR LAUGHINGBIRD DOCUMENT LIBRARY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.


1. All your Add on sets you purchase, all your template sets, and your My Templates folder get installed into your computers document library.

Your document library is used like a file cabinet. 

Each program has its own drawer.

Inside that drawer are the files you are working with, or have created with whatever program.

This is where the Windows Document library is. This view is from WIN 8.1

4. The Creator Document Library can only be in one location...

On my Windows 10.0 computer my Laughingbird Document Library is here:

C:\Users\Glenn\Documents\
Laughingbird Documents



Yours has to be in the same location!  Of course, the only difference for your location would be the "Glenn" part.

2. Document Libraries are a good thing...

Document Libraries keep working files separated from the Program files (stuff like the EXE file that starts the program).

3. Document Libraries can be huge!

Most programs use the document library structure now a days.

This is part of my document library.

THIS IS HOW YOUR LAUGHINGBIRD DOCUMENT LIBRARY SHOULD LOOK!
The "work directory" is where the last template you were working on is stored, sort of like a temp file.  Just pretend it's not there!   If you don't see one, don't worry, you're ok!
