# Specifying a Project Folder

At the start of a new task, specify the project folder.

## About Projects

1. Role

   In TWL ManualEditor, page files and image files are managed in subfolders for each language in the project folder.

   You must specify the project folder when you begin a new task.

2. Folder structure

   When you specify a new project folder, folders for each language will be created under the new project folder, and two folders (`textures` and `layouts`) are created under each language folder. The `textures` folder stores image files, and the `layouts` folder stores page (NTPG) files.

   · Folders of the format `XXX_yy`

     These are language folders. (The "XXX" portion is three uppercase letters, and the "yy" portion is two lowercase letters). They are unique for each market-language pair.

     If there are no language folders in the folder specified as the project root, a folder called `JPN_ja` is created.

   · `textures` folder

     This folder stores the image files that are used in the pages. It is created under each language folder.

   · `layouts` folder

     This folder stores the page files. It is created under each language folder.

     E-Manuals for Nintendo DSiWare titles are made from the page files in this `layouts` folder.
