Opening and Closing Files

Open a File

Use Open to open a document file stored on your computer.

Tip: You can open more than one file at a time by pressing the Ctrl key as you select additional files in the Open window. You can also open a range of files by pressing the Shift key to select the last file in a range.

Tip: Go to File > File Options > Set Open/Save Default Folder to set the default folder used by Open.

Open a Recent File or Folder

Jarte maintains a Recent Files list of your ten most recently opened document files.  Selecting a file from the list immediately reopens that file.

Jarte also maintains a list of the ten most recently accessed folders.  Selecting a folder from the list displays the Open window directly to that folder.

The Recent Files list also includes option Always Reopen Last Session. When you start Jarte, the option directs Jarte to automatically reopen whatever files were open when you last exited the  program. In addition, the text cursor will automatically be moved to the first bookmark in the file if a bookmark is present. This can be a handy way to pick up your previous editing session exactly where you left off. See advanced setting Force Last Session also.

Use Clear List to remove all files and folders from the Recent Files list.

Tips:

Open a Favorite File or Folder

Jarte provides instant access to any files or folders you designate as favorites in the Favorite Files list. A file is designated as a favorite by checking the Favorite File check box when the file is open in the currently active tab. A folder is designated as a favorite by checking the Favorite Folder check box when any file from that folder is open in the currently active tab.

The Favorite Files list can be reorganized at any time by using Organize to display the Organize Favorites window. The window allows file and folder entries in the Favorite Files list to added, deleted, and reordered.

Clear List can be used to remove all of the files and folders from the Favorite Files list.

Tips:

Open a Favorite File at Startup

Jarte will automatically open a file when Jarte starts if the file has been designated for that treatment using option Open This File at Startup. Check the option's check box when the file to be automatically opened is open in the currently active tab.

Close a File

Close closes the file in the active tab. Close All closes all open files.

Close and Delete closes the file in the active tab and then deletes it to the Windows Recycle Bin.  If Close and Delete is selected while pressing the Shift key Jarte will permanently delete the file (i.e., the file will not be sent to the Recycle Bin).

Tip: A "Do you want to save?" prompt is displayed whenever you close a file with unsaved changes. Multiple prompts may be displayed when performing a Close All or when exiting the Jarte program. If the Shift key is pressed when answering "Yes" or "No" then the answer will automatically be applied to any remaining prompts.
