Barcode Director utilizes several variables, called Macros, to represent folder and file names and other values. The input file path name can be broken down into constituent elements in order to support all kinds of output naming schemes which may rely on the input.
This dialog box shows the current macro values. Current means those values defined to this point by the configuration process. Values that are instantiated only at run time obviously cannot be evaluated at this point. To understand the potential value of such variables click on the File/Folder Name Editor dialog, and view the Results field.
