File Menu


# Overview #

         The File menu contains all the features related to file management (open, save, new, etc.).


# Contents #

  • New File:  Creates a new empty document with current syntax colorizing mode enabled.
  • Clear File:  Clears selected document.
  • Open:  Opens an existing file enabling the most appropriate syntax colorizing mode. If you open a ZIP or JAR file, Jext will open a ZipExplorer in which will prompt you to choose which packed file to open from the archive.
  • Open In Area:  Works exactly like the Open function but do not create a new document in the interface. It replace current selected document instead.
  • Open URL:  Opens a file specified by its URL. This allows you to open a file from the Web or from your Intranet.
  • Recents:  This submenu contains a list of recently opened files. By default it holds the eight most recently opened files, but this can be configured in the Options pane.
  • Clear Recents:  Flushes the contents of the Recents submenu. You use it to mask what you've been working on or to prevent accidental access to recent files that no longer exist or aren't currently mounted (i.e. if they were opened from a removable device such as a CD-ROM or floppy disk).
  • Close:  Closes selected document. If this document was modified, Jext warn the user and ask hime wether to save the document or not.
  • Close All:  Closes all the opened document, asking to save one of them if necessary.
  • Save:  Saves the current document. If the current document is new (i.e. has not been opened from an existing file or has not been saved yet) Jext calls Save As...
  • Save ALl:  Attempts to save all the opened documents.
  • Save As:  Enables the current document to be saved with a different name.
  • New Window:  Creates a new Jext window.
  • Open In Window:  Creates a new Jext window and opens an existing file in it, enabling the most appropriate syntax colorizing mode. Opening a ZIP or a JAR file initiates the same action as with the normal Open command.
  • Close Window:  Closes the current window and exits Jext if there are no remaining windows. If your work hasn't been saved yet, Jext asks you if you would like to save your changes before exiting.
  • Quit:  Exits Jext by closing all its open windows and checking if your documents need to be saved or not.
