ProjectStructure_HOME/CONFIG.md

ProjectStructure Configuration

The repository reads user preferences from config.json in the ProjectStructure root (copied alongside helper batches when they are deployed to projects).

Keys

Key	Type	Meaning
dailyFormat	bool	true → daily folders named YYYY-MM-DD; false → daily_* style.
structDir	string	Absolute or relative path to the canonical ProjectStructure directory. Blank values default to the folder containing config.json.
projectsRoot	string (optional)	Override for the root directory scanned by UpgradeSeqBatches.ps1. Defaults to the parent of structDir.
zipper	bool	true → use 7‑Zip (if available); false → use Python’s built-in zipfile module.
compression	int	Compression level 0-9 (0 = store only, 9 = max). Applies to both zipfile and 7‑Zip.

Notes

• UpdateProjectBatches.ps1 copies config.json and ConfigLoader.ps1 to the target project so the helper .bat launchers can resolve script locations.
• When zipper is true, the tool searches for 7z/7za on PATH. If neither is found it logs a warning and falls back to zipfile.
• Leaving structDir empty is safe—the scripts fall back to the directory that contains config.json.
