<h1>Opening and Saving files:</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Opening</span>
|
|
goes very similar to any other windows application.
|
|
<p><ul><li>To open a file,
|
|
simply go to <span class="menu_item">File->Open</span> or press <img style="width: 16px; height: 16px;" alt="" src="Images/Toolbar/openFile.png">. A dialog will appear and you
|
|
can select one or more files that have to be opened. Each file will
|
|
be opened in an individual tab. If the file was already opened,
|
|
Notepad++ will show you that file in its current state. In
|
|
the dialog, at the bottom there is a filter that will allow you to
|
|
only show the files that belong to a certain language (such as C++ or
|
|
PHP) depending on the extension. By default all files are shown.
|
|
</li><li>Another
|
|
way to open a file is to drag the file into Notepad++ using the
|
|
cursor. This can also be done with multiple files selected or whole folders.
|
|
</li><li>Additionally,
|
|
Notepad++ keeps a list of unopened, recently closed files in the File menu so
|
|
you can reopen them quickly. Simply click on the filename to open it
|
|
(see the section about Settings, Recent file list for more details).
|
|
To open all the files in that list, simply select <span class="menu_item">File->Open All
|
|
Recent Files</span> (selecting <span class="menu_item">File->Clean Recent Files List</span> will clear
|
|
that list).
|
|
</li><li>
|
|
See also the section about the <a href="Command%20Line.html">Command Line</a> to see how to open files
|
|
using the command line.
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Saving</span>
|
|
a file can be done in multiple ways.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ul><li>The default way is to select
|
|
<span class="menu_item">File->Save</span> or press <img style="width: 16px; height: 16px;" alt="" src="Images/Toolbar/saveFile.png">. If it is an existing file it will be
|
|
overwritten with the current contents. Note that if the file has not
|
|
been modified, you cannot save the file.
|
|
</li><li>If
|
|
you want to save all the files you have opened at once, you can
|
|
select <span class="menu_item">File->Save All</span> or press <img style="width: 16px; height: 16px;" alt="" src="Images/Toolbar/saveAll.png">.
|
|
</li><li>If
|
|
the file has yet no name (for example, if you had created a new
|
|
file), or you selected <span class="menu_item">File->Save As</span>, the save file dialog will
|
|
pop up, asking you for the name of the file. You can then choose the
|
|
location and the name of the file. A .txt extension is assumed if the file name has no extension.
|
|
</li><li>An useful variant is <span class="menu_item">File->Save a Copy As</span>. The difference with <span class="menu_item">File->Save As</span> is that, after the latter, your work continues on the new file, while with the former it continues on the old file.
|
|
</li><li>The
|
|
filter at the bottom of the dialog can automatically add or change
|
|
the extension for you. Depending in the first extension listed for
|
|
that language, the filename will be changed to have that extension.</li></ul>
|
|
<p>You
|
|
can <span style="font-weight: bold;">Reload</span> a file if you wish to update the current view of the file
|
|
(for example, if the file has been modified) or restore its contents
|
|
to what is on disk if you have modified the file but not yet saved.
|
|
If the file has been changed on disk, by default Notepad++ will ask
|
|
you if you wish to reload it (see <a href="Preferences.html#MISC">Preferences</a> for more details).
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can do so by selecting <span class="menu_item">File->Reload from Disk</span>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Finally,
|
|
you can choose to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rename</span> a file by selecting <span class="menu_item">File->Rename</span>. A
|
|
dialog will pop up asking you for the new name of the file, similar
|
|
to the Save As dialog. However, the original file will be deleted.</body></html> |
