Introduction

In Web UI the default directory for adding originals is the directory where NWBC was installed (assuming NWBC is used to access Web UI). File browsing, upload and download in Web UI is handled by the ACF component requiring a Java runtime on the client. In order to change the default directory, an enhancement is required.
