Mira's Special Folders


Mira uses several special folders to hold its files. These special folders are found inside your <Pictures> folder. The <Pictures> folder itself has a name that is specific to your operating system environment:

Operating System

<Pictures> folder name

Windows 7

Libraries\Pictures\My Pictures

Windows Vista

Documents\My Pictures

Windows XP

My Documents\My Pictures

If the computer has multiple user accounts who need to use Mira AP, you may need change the file permissions for the <Pictures> folder to allow other users to access these files.

Sample Data Folder

The sample images are installed into the following folder:

     <Pictures>\Mirametrics\Mira AP 7\Sample Images

Several of the tutorials and examples in this User's Guide use images found here.

Mira Program Parameters

Mira functions and configuration settings use parameters stored in the Windows Registry and in files. Parameters stored in files are located inside the <Pictures> folder, as follows:

     <Pictures>\Mirametrics\Mira AP 7\Params

Generally, you should not edit or alter parameter files outside of Mira. Their location is disclosed here if, for some reason, you need to manually access them.
