Your project folder and the folder lock
Every project lives in one folder on your computer, by default under Documents\EasySeer. Starting the Manuscript step locks the inputs and folder so the manuscript and delivery always match the same project.
Knowing what is in the folder tells you where to find each result.
Steps
- 1
input and basepapers
input/concept holds your handwritten concept, input/concept_transcript.md the handwriting as read (editable in Input), input/proposal an optional proposal, basepapers your baseline papers and references your reference files.
- 2
context.docx
The project specification from the Novelty check.
- 3
code
Generated code, a dataset folder for each dataset, results (graphs with matching CSVs), parameters and experimental_output.
- 4
manuscript
manuscript.docx (IEEE), completion_report.md and the LaTeX source.
- 5
delivery
The ZIP (and RAR) archive, delivery_checklist.md, the package folder and the ieee_paper folder.
- 6
How the lock works
Input and Novelty check lock nothing. Starting the Manuscript step locks the inputs, and the folder cannot be opened from the app. If input files change on disk afterwards, the project shows This is no longer the same project and stops running steps.
Tips
Change the default folder in Settings, Projects, or choose another folder in the New project wizard
Use Save a copy next to the delivery archive to keep a copy outside the project folder
Common mistakes
- Editing or moving input files after the Manuscript step starts
Questions
What if I see: This is no longer the same project?
Put the original input files back, or create a new project.
Where is the final paper?
In delivery of the project folder: the ZIP (and RAR) archive, delivery/package and delivery/ieee_paper.
