Use the Open File dialog shown in Figure 4.31 to open a project file, LISA source file, or text document.
To display the dialog, either:
select Open File from the File menu
select a file in the Component window and select Open from the context menu.
Note
Japanese or Korean characters must not be used in project filename paths, as they can lead to failure to find the specified libraries.
On Windows, the direction of the slash characters separating
directories appears to be reversed. You can enter slash characters
in either direction but they are always displayed as forward slashes
(/ ). This does not affect operation.
The dialog has the following controls:
- Look in
Specify the directory that contains the file.
- File name
Enter the name of the file to open in this box.
- File type
Select the type of file to filter for.
- Open
Click Open to open the file. Click Cancel to close the dialog without opening a file.
- Open project file as text in source editor
This box is enabled if the selected file is not of type
.lisaor.sgproj. Check the box to open the file as a plain text file in the Source window.Note
If an
.sgprojfile is selected and this box is not checked, the project is loaded. All changes to.sgprojfiles are normally done through the Project menu.You can use this option for a
.sgprojto, for example, manually edit the list of repositories that are used by the project. Changes that are manually made to.sgprojfiles do not take effect until the file has been closed and reopened.
Note
You can use the Recently selected files dropdown list on the dialog to display files that have been added to other projects. To remove a file from the list, move the mouse cursor over the filename and press the Delete key or right click and select Remove from list from the context menu.
