8 COPYING, MOVING AND DELETING PACKAGES
Moving M1 Package files via Windows Explorer is not recommended.
MoTeC M1 Packages are not intended to be copied, added, deleted or moved by use of the
standard Windows file system. It is recommended that when moving Package files the Import,
Export and Export Mail functions are used, these are available from the
Open Package window,
see OPENING OFFLINE PACKAGES .
Use the Import and Export functions when a package needs to be moved from one PC to
another.
8.1 ARCHIVE FILES
MoTeC has implemented a new method of adding and moving files within the M1 system. The
new file type is called an M1 Archive file. Its purpose is to remove the need for users to manually
find their way around the file system when moving or adding files.
The M1 Archive may contain multiple files and complete directory structures, it is similar to a
self extracting ZIP file. The locations are automatically determined when the file is extracted,
requiring no input from the user.
The archives used within M1 Tune are described in this table.
