File Menu
The File menu contains options used to open and save files and an option to exit the OpenSpirit Desktop. See the file extension table below for a list of desktop tools that have information that can be opened or saved using the File menu options.
Save Menu Option
The Save menu option is enabled when the currently selected tool that is open in the desktop has information that can be saved and the information has changed since the last save. For example, the OpenSpirit Data Selector tool enables the Save option if any changes are made to the information in the Data Selector, such as changing any display options, changing a row selection, etc. Clicking an enabled Save option saves the currently selected tool's information to the default file name and location. The default file name is determined by the currently active tool.
The default location that files are saved in differs according to the host operating system the desktop is running on. The default saves directory for the operating systems supported by OpenSpirit is indicated in the following table.
Operating System |
Default Save Directory* |
---|---|
Linux |
$HOME/OpenSpirit/v#.#/Desktop |
Microsoft Windows |
%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenSpirit\v#.#\Desktop |
* Substitute the major and minor version number of the OpenSpirit Runtime that you are using for the "#.#" component of the directory path.
Save As Menu Option
The Save As menu option is enabled when the currently selected tool that is open in the desktop has information that can be saved. Clicking the Save As option displays a file selector window that can be used to select the directory that the file should be written to and the name to give the file.
Open Menu Option
The Open menu option is always enabled. Clicking the Open option displays a file selector window that can be used to select a file created by a previous Save or Save As operation.
The following table lists the file name extensions of save files created by OpenSpirit desktop tools. The table indicates the desktop tool used to view the save file and describes how the file is created and its purpose.
