Open Templates Directory

Opens the templates directory in Windows Explorer (or Mac Finder). Useful for copying/backing up templates, or for locating the template directory for importing templates into the current installation.

Formatted Entry

Using formatted entry is the default for BorinGS, and results in data entry windows being displayed for material layers and sample information. Unchecking this option will cause the data grids to act as simple spreadsheet-style entries, in which you can type directly in them. For certain situations this may be faster. You can recheck this option to view the entry screens as usual.
