<para>
The &quantaplus; project wizard
(<menuchoice>
<guimenu>Project</guimenu>
<guimenuitem>New Project</guimenuitem>
</menuchoice>) makes project creation an easy task.

<para>
The fields are pretty straight forward. It is best to fill them in from
top to bottom. Filling in a project name will autocomplete all the
folder structure for the rest of the project. All of the paths and
author information fields can be configured later on clicking

<title>General Project Settings</title>
<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>Name</guilabel></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Here you fill in the name for your project. For example, we will call ours
<quote><literal>foo</literal>.</quote> When you fill in
<guilabel>Name</guilabel>, <guilabel>File</guilabel> is filled out for
you automatically.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>File</guilabel></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This is the name of the &quantaplus; project file. By default, it is the
name of your project, but in lowercase letters and without spaces. It
uses the extension <literal role="extension">webprj</literal> (&pex;
<filename>foo.webprj</filename>). This file is stored in the root of the
project's Main Folder.

<term>Protocol</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Here you select the protocol you will be using to access you project. If
your project is on the same machine that you are using Quanta Plus on,
then leave the value at Local. The list of protocols shown here is
dependant of your system setup. Available protocols include SSH, FTP, NFS,
SMB, WebDAV, and many others. The protocol list is powered by &kde;'s
powerful KIOSlave architecture. This framework allows every &kde;
application to easily access remote information as if it is local to the
machine.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Host</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Here you fill in the server address of the machine you want to access,
unless you are working through the Local protocol. Either a hostname
(hostname.example.com) or an IP address (127.0.0.1) can go here.

projects, then it may be useful to point this field to it, instead of to
the default.

<term><guilabel>Use preview prefix</guilabel></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Check this to use a prefix for your previews. This allows you to set the
path prefix to something other than your local file system. This is most
useful for pages that contain dynamic content and are dependent on server
processing (like &PHP;, <acronym>JSS</acronym>, Python, &etc;). Simply
type in the first portion of the address as it exists on that server and
the filepath at the end will be complete by &quantaplus;. For example, if
you have the domain <literal>bar.com</literal> and you are editing the
<filename>index.html</filename> page, you could edit it on your remote
machine (<systemitem>foo.bar.com</systemitem>), upload it to the server
and press <keycap>F6</keycap> to see the results from
<systemitem>www.bar.com</systemitem> instead of your local file system.
