Open a novel project
With File > Open or Ctrl
-O

file.
Note
When opening a project, the current project will be closed. If there are unsaved changes, you will be asked for saving.
Reload the novel project
With File > Reload or Ctrl
-R
, you can overwrite the project in
the memory with the last saved version.
Tip
This way you can undo changes made in the current session.
Note
If the project has changed on disk since last opened or saved, you will get a warning.
Restore the latest backup file
With File > Restore backup or Ctrl
-B
, you can overwrite the
project in the memory with the latest backup file. You will get a
warning, because changes may be lost.
Hint
After restoring the backup, a backup copy is no longer available in the project directory. A new backup copy is created when saving the project.
Enforce tree refresh after making changes
With File > Refresh tree or F5
, you can refresh the tree.
Launch the file manager
With File > Open Project folder or Ctrl-P

file manager with the current project folder. This might come in handy,
if you e.g. wish to delete files or edit configuration files.
Save the project

copy is then automatically created.
Note
If the project has changed on disk since last opened, you will get a warning.
Save the project with another file name/at another place

-Shift
-S
, you can save the
project with another file name/at another place. Then a file select
dialog opens to specify the new path and file name.
