1.1 Starting MetaEdit+
MetaEdit+ is a repository-based application, which means that
a connection to the repository must be established during the launch of the
tool. This login procedure is initiated from the Startup Launcher (
Figure 1–1) that is opened when
MetaEdit+ is started.
Figure 1–1. Startup Launcher.
In addition to login,
several other functions can be accessed from the Startup Launcher. For more
information about these, please refer to Section
3.1.1.
Login and opening the repository
To log in to a MetaEdit+ repository:
| 1) | Select
the repository to log in to from the ‘Log in to Repository:’
list. |
| 2) | Select
the projects you want to open from the ‘Open Projects:’
list. |
| 3) | Select
the proper user account in the ‘Repository User:’ pane. You can
choose either from the predefined default accounts (‘user’ and
‘sysadmin’) or enter the details for a specific user
account. |
| 4) | Press
the Login
button. |
 | Please
note that in a multi-user environment you may see a dialog saying your login has
failed because your server is not running, or because the number of users logged
in equals the limit of your server license (‘Login is not allowed
now’). |
After a successful login
the Startup Launcher will be replaced with the main MetaEdit+ Launcher. The
login procedure is now complete and we can proceed to explore the MetaEdit+
environment.
