Del

Deletes the selected map.

New

Creates a new map. IFmapperhas a versioning system, so you don't have to add the number at the end. The versioning was added to avoid data loss during development and protection against user mistakes.

Edit

Starts the editing process

Dump

This function exports the selected map in a version independent but less space efficient format. This was introduced as a safeguard against changes in the save file format in future versions of IFmapperdue to new features (this has already happened during development). I'm pretty sure I catched all the bugs in the Load/Save functions, but it is probably a good idea to dump your maps occasionally.
