Saving and Opening Project Files for Lab Tools
| SAVING AND OPENING DATA The progam's text entries, results and content of most windows can be saved as global project files in *.dca format. The project Open/Save menu is found in Lab Tools -> Solutions module: AUTO SAVE OF PROJECT STATE EACH TIME AN ELN PAGE IS CREATED Each time an ELN page is created, a *.dca file containig a snapshot is auto-generated and saved to an ELN folder for the most recent ELN page created. It is possible to add multiple *.dca files to the most recent ELN page via the Manager's box button: A new file name should be entered to the text field in Lab Tools -> Title for each new *.dca file. This will activate the "file P+" button for new file addition. FILE DRAG and DROP OPERATIONS The program can make use of Drag and Drop operations for file handling as follows: 1. Drag-Dropping *.dca files onto the interface of the program will open them (behaving the same as Lab Tools -> Solutions -> Open button). 2. Drag-Dropping *.html, *.txt and other files into ELN's blue address bar will navigate ELN to these files or open them. 3. Drag-Dropping files or images onto the DRAG & DROP pads in ELN tab will embed them in ELN. 4. Text fields containing file/folder paths generally accept DragDrop operations too, address typing is not necessary.
