Load
The Load option opens the dialog-box shown in Fig. 1.2.1
It allows:
to select the User working directory, by the Browse Button or by editing the field
to
select (by the Browse Button or by editing the field) an existing input
file (default extension .qua) containing all the
input data; this is an ascii file previously created by Quanto (File
-> New) or by any other editor
to
choose the name of the output file (in default it is the name of the
input file with extension .out)
The window presents 5 buttons:
OK to confirm the selected filename and go on to the next step-
Cancel to cancel the selected filename and come back to the File
menu
Edit
to edit the .qua file (to check and, if necessary, to modify it)
WARNING! If you modify the path of any filename, remember that three cases are allowed:
1) the path is not necessary if the file is in the working directory;
2) a relative path is always appended to the HOME directory path;
3) in all the other cases the full path must be specified.
Browse to browse in your computer and choose the wanted directory and input
file
Modify
the program reads the input file and shows via graphics all the information
in it, by
means of the New dialog-box. The user can
modify the data and save them in a new input file and/or directory (specified
in the "Project Name" and "User working directory"
fields of the General folder, respectively) or overwrite the same
file (see Fig. 1.2.2).
