Scan MapInfo Files > Proximity Search Options

Use this page to enable Proximity Search to start the search with the topmost folder selected, then work its way down until all subfolders are searched.

This approach is used for situations where the location of the searched files depends on the location of the scanned file. The Proximity Search Options page is used to determine how the list of searched folders for a given folder will be “constructed”.



  • Search all subfolders for associated documents toggle — Controls whether or not the scanned filés subfolder will be searched. Toggle ON to scan the subfolders. Also allows configuring the Start location from which the list of searched folders will be constructed.

  • Current Folder radio button — If turned ON, the scanned filés folder will be the base folder from which the list will be constructed.

  • Parent Folder radio button — If turned ON, the scanned filés parent folder will be the base folder from which the list will be constructed.

  • Advanced radio button — Allows the user to define the specific number of “levels” above the scanned filés folder from which the list of scanned folder will be constructed.
