5.a File functions


To get the file functions, please click on the "File" button. You will get the following popup menu:



With New you can open another window of SetEdit with the same or another format, e.g. for the import of channels or if you want to compare different channel lists (see chapter 3.h.)

With Open you can load settings from your disc.

With Last files you get a list of the 10 last used files, which you can load.

With Clear last files list you can remove all entries from the last files list.

With Read from receiver you can read the settings from your receiver into SetEditHomecast. You get a message on your screen. When you have clicked on "OK", the settings are read from the receiver and shown in SetEditHomecast. The receiver should be in normal operating mode.

With Backup you can transfer the settings from the receiver directly to your hard disc without having them in SetEdit. You will first get a window where you can enter the directory and the file name. Otherwise the procedure is similar to "Read from receiver".

With Save or Save as you can save the current settings to your disc.

With Write into receiver you can transfer the settings from SetEditHomecast to your receiver. You also get a message. When you have clicked on "OK", the settings are written into the receiver.

With Restore you can transfer settings from your hard disc directly to your receiver. First you get a window where you can select the file you like to transfer into the receiver. Otherwise the procedure is similar to "Write into receiver".

With Convert to you can convert your actual loaded settings file into another settings format (e.g. SatcoDX). If you want to convert another settings format (e.g. SatcoDX) into the SetEditHomecast format you first have to open a new editor window (with File -> New) with the corresponding SetEdit format (e.g. SatcoDX) and then you can load the Settings file you want to convert in this editor window. To do this you first have to save your satellite configuration (see chapter 3.i).

With Print you can print your settings (see chapter 3.f).

With Export you can export your settings as an ASCII file (e.g. to open it with Word). You have the same options as with the print function.

With Save wish list you can save the actually loaded settings file as a wish list (see chapter 3.k).

With Adapt settings to a wish list you can adapt an actually loaded settings file to a previously saved wish list (see chapter 3.k).

With Close you close the actual active SetEdit window. If only one window is opened you close the complete program.

With Exit you exit from SetEdit. All open editor windows are closed. In the configuration you can enter with Restore last session when starting that all opened editor windows are reopened when you start the program the next time.
When you like to use this function you have to finish from SetEdit with the "File" -> "Exit" function. If you close all windows one by one only the last opened window will be restored.


Continue with Configuration.
