By default, PS uses
Firebird embedded which is installed implicitly. Picto Selector is very much self-
contained.
If you prefer using PS in office/school environment where people using multiple copies
of PS will share the same set of pictosheets, a standalone Firebird database server should
be installed.
Assuming that you have installed PictoSelector on computer "MyClient1" and are going
to use computer "MyHost" to host the database and linked files, here are the steps:
Run setup.exe.
Select the "Local Storage in application folder" option on the first start. This will
create a database in a "data" sub folder of the application executable.
The user name/password pair is used for authentication to the Firebird databases
"PictoSelectorDatabase.fdb". This file is located in " D:\SecuredData\PS\" of the host
machine "myhost". Thus, Picto Selector knows it should connect to server "myhost" and
talk to the Firebird database server there. Then the database will process the database file
in the host machine's D drive and authenticate the user name/password pair.
4. Start the first client. The database has been moved so it will ask to choose the database.
Select Network and the options as shown above (change the path to your own
configuration)
5. Test. Picto Selector should now run with the database on the server.
