Directory

Directory and file group specific functions.

File group

It is possible to use separate group file to save names, order and possible element specific colors and point notations of the files belonging to the same project.

Files in the same directory as the group file are saved with file name only. All other file are saved with full directory path. This allows moving of whole projects form one directory to the other.

The group file name is added to the list of 10 last used files in main windows file menu, but member files are not added.

Open file group

It is also possible to open groups from File/Open or from command line.

Save file group

N.B. this will save the file names into the group file, but the actual files are not saved with this function.
