Forecast Pro allows you to save projects in an unzipped form. This is usually not recommended unless there is a specific issue with your operating environment that makes the unzipped format preferable.
In networked environments, working with zipped projects usually offers better performance. When you open a zipped project, Forecast Pro copies the zipped file from the network drive to a local workspace, unzips the project files and opens the project—allowing you to work on your project locally, even though it was saved to a network drive. When you resave your zipped project, Forecast Pro will zip the updated local project files and save the updated FPZip file to the network drive.
Forecast Pro defaults to saving zipped projects. To save and open unzipped projects, select FPProj as the file type in the Save as and Open dialog boxes.
