Site Definition File
In order to create a site, you have to create a Site Definition File (SDF) via the File > New.. command. Second Site writes all the options and settings associated with the site into the SDF file.
When you create a new SDF file, Second Site also creates two folders in the same location as the SDF file, an Input (-i) folder and an Output (-o) folder.
Second Site names the two folders by appending "-i" and "-o" to the name of the SDF file. So, if you named the SDF file "mysite.sdf", the Input folder would be "mysite-i" and the Output folder would be "mysite-o".
See the Folders help page for more information about the Input and Output folders.
Default Values
When you create a new SDF file, you must choose a "defaults file". Second Site uses this file to establish the initial values for the properties that define a site. Second Site includes multiple defaults files. One of those files will be appropriate for most users.
The Default Values facility allows international users to select values that have been translated to the appropriate language. Alternatively, any user who wants to create multiple sites with very similar property settings may copy any valid SDF file to the Defaults folder and use it as a defaults file.
The default value files are stored in the Defaults folder.
