Loading & Saving

To load or save a file, click the "File" menu:

Choose "Load terms..." or "Save As...". A dialog like this will appear:

The top line of the dialog is the same regardless of whether you are loading, saving, or doing some other operation:

The drop down box contains a list of data adapters that support the current operation (some data adapters can only save data, some can only load, so not all adapters may appear for all operations). To choose a different data adapter, select it from the dropdown list.

Some data adapters have two interfaces for setting options, a "Basic" interface and an "Advanced" interface. The Advanced interface will be more complex, and allow more options to be controlled by the user. If a data adapter has the option to choose between Advanced and Basic mode, the "Advanced/Basic" button will be enabled. Click the button to switch between basic and advanced modes.

The triangle shaped button displays the stored profile controls. Click it to display the stored profile settings:

Some adapters have very complex settings. The stored adapter settings allow you to save a collection of settings to reuse in the future.

To load a stored profile, click the arrow button at the right of the stored profile list:

and click a profile name to select it.

To create a new profile, choose "<new profile>" from the list. Note that the data adapter settings will be cleared. Type a name for the new profile in the stored profile text box, and press the Enter key to save your settings.

To hide the stored profile settings, press the triangular stored profile button again.
