How to make a Layout

Ummm ask the master shock_ he he


F.A.Q.

Q1) After I have created a layout in the editor, graphics don't seem to carry across to MaLa

A1) Well this is beacuse you can store the graphic files in two ways A) (default) Have the graphics required for that layout stored in a mala sub-folder with exactly the same name as the layout B) Just have the graphics in the mala folder (messy but works the same) To change between these go to options-gui-layout 'use layout name for directory names'
