Save Configuration Dialog Box

VDA Tools > Navigator > Save Configuration Dialog Box

This dialog box is a standard file selection dialog box. It is used to select a file in which to save a Navigator configuration file.

note

Navigator configuration files saved under Unix are not compatible with Windows, and vice-versa. This is due to the fact that the entire pathnames of the tool's icon are saved in this file. If you would like your own personal Navigator, and are working in a mixed environment, then the best solution is to save a configuration on each platform in your default directory under the default Navigator Configuration Filename, (found in nav.ads, currently nav-cfg.sav). The algorithm for finding the default file is:

On UNIX: Current directory then check HOME environment variable

On Windows: Current directory

Check HOMEPATH environment variable then

Check HOMEDRIVE environment variable then

Check WINDIR environment variable then

Check !DIR system variable

The dialog box consists of the following text fields, list boxes, and action buttons:

Filter—Text field used to change directories and specify files with wild card characters. Press <Return> or click Filter to apply the filter. The filenames that match the filter are displayed in the Files list box.

Directories—List box used to change directories with the mouse. Double-click on a directory name to switch to that directory.

Files—List box used to select a file with the mouse. Click on a filename to select it, or double-click on a file name to save the file directly.

Enter file name:—Text field used to specify a file in which to save the template. Enter a filename in this text field press <Return> or click OK to save the template.

OK—Save the Navigator configuration information in the selected file and exit the dialog box.

Filter—Apply the filter shown in the Filter text field to the directory to list all files ending in the specified three letter extension. Clicking this button is equivalent to pressing <Return> while the input focus is in the Filter text field.

Cancel—Dismiss the dialog box without taking any action.

Help—Display online Help on the dialog box.
