Opening and Saving Projects
Opening and Saving Projects
The standard load and save functions are available:

this name already exists in which case it is set to 1 more than the largest existing value.
The Save function may also be accessed using the 
toolbar button.

- The user is prompted for a filename and may also change the directory if required.
- Open...
- The user is prompted to select a file from the default directory. This directory may
be changed if required. The Open function may also be accessed using the
toolbar
button.
Auto-recovery files
LimitState:GEO saves auto-recovery files every five minutes, and also when certain actions are performed by the user. If the software does not close down properly, for example due to a power outage or a crash in LimitState:GEO, an auto-recovery file will be available. On next startup, LimitState:GEO will inform the user that a recovery file is available, and ask whether to load it. If the user does not recover the file, it will be deleted.
While generating auto-recovery files, a message appears in the status bar and the user is temporarily blocked from making changes to the current project.
