Handling Files

The File menu contains several items for managing files

New

When you choose this option a new (empty) file is created.

Open

This option can be used to open an existing file (a soundfile or a detection file). The file select dialog, shown after choosing the Open command, allows you to inspect a list of available files, audition a soundfile prior to loading it (Play) and get basic information about a soundfile (Info). Additionally, it provides means for deleting files (Delete).

When convenient you can open or delete several files at once.

Save as

You can use this item to make a copy of the soundfile in the active window. A file select dialog will allow you to choose a name under which the soundfile will be saved.

Rename

You can use this item to rename a file.

Delete

This item can be used to delete any file from the disk. For your convenience, each time a soundfile <*.wav> is deleted the corresponding detection file <*.det> (if any) is also removed.

Close

Use this option to close open files. When a file is closed the corresponding window is removed from the DART Pro's clipboard.
