External Application Settings
Specifies the path and filename of applications called from DITA-FMx as well as any options passed to those applications.

dialog box
- DITA-OT
- Specifies the main DITA-OT (DITA Open Toolkit) directory and the DITA-OT environment setup file. (Required in order to use the Generate Output command.)
- Archive
- Specifies the command line syntax that is used to create the archive. Before creating the archive, a list of files is generated from the current file and all referenced files (as well as the archive baggage file described in the Create Archive topic). This file is written to the DITA-FMx installation folder as ~tmpzipfiles.txt. The archive generated is named <filename>_zip.zip, where <filename> is the root file name of the current file when the Create Archive command is used. For example, if the archive is created from the project_a.ditamap file, the archive created will be named project_a_zip.zip.
