To accelerate the usage of a configuration, MDA V8.6 performs an automatic
search for all files referenced in the configuration. In a first step, MDA tries to
load the original file from the referenced absolute path. In a second step, it
searches for a file with the same name in the folder from where the con-
figuration is opened. Finally, the automatic search is extended to the sub-
folders. The automatic search results are shown in a dialog. Use the checkbox

found, the file will be listed in the Configuration Manager with
file .
