At any time, any given collection of opened files can be saved as a group of files. When saving such a group, DART XP Pro creates a configuration file <groupname.dgr> which contains information about the current system status including the list of opened files, the source/destination assignment, synchronization details, cursor, marker and frame positions, time resolution and scale settings etc. Because of this, whenever you open an existing group, you will find everything in exactly the same order as at the time of saving. You might find group saving/opening facilities particularly useful when working on complex projects requiring long and multistage processing.
The Group menu contains several items for handling groups of files.
New - this command saves and closes the currently open group of files and creates a new (empty) one with a default name NoName.dgr. You can use New to clear the entire DART XP Pro's desktop without the need to close open windows one by one. Using New has the same effects as quitting DART XP Pro and starting it again, except that all current system settings are preserved (i.e. they are not changed to the default ones).
Open - this command saves and closes the currently open group of files (if any) and opens a new (existing) group.
Save - use this command to save a group of open files under a current group name.
Save as - use this command to save a group of open files under a new group name.
WARNING
The file. <groupname.dgr> is a configuration file only, i.e. it does not store information about the contents of the files comprising a group. For this reason, if you delete or modify any of the files after saving a group, you will not be able to retrieve a group in its original form.
