The shape files for a Map Shape can be in any directory, but for a Background Maps they've got to be in Program Files\JMP\....\Maps.

This directory is often admin protected, and sharing files means making hard copies per PC.

 

Allowing the user to specify a different directory (Maps folder remaining as default location) in the JSL would be great.
