Main window overview

 

When clicking the File menu item with your mouse, the file menu appears containing the following menu items (active or not depending on the context of your project):
 

New
Opens the new project dialog. There you can start a new project based on a copy of any standard template, sample or from available import projects. A new project will be created on double click on a preview image, which will create a copy (new instance) of the chosen project.

If  a project is open while you click on New, it will be closed (a message box appears, asking you if you want to save before closing ).
 

Open
Opens an existing BrowserBob project (Filename.BB). If a project is open, it will be closed (a message box appears, asking you if you want to save before closing ).

Save
Saves the current project (Filename.BB).

Save as
Saves the current project under a different filename (opens a file dialog).

Import
Imports a BrowserBob project, which has been exported before (Filename.BEX) and saves it locally in the .BB format.

Important Note: a project file, which has been saved on a different computer, can't be opened on yours unless it has been exported on that computer using the Export functionality.

Export
Exports a BrowserBob project. All graphics and sounds used in your project will be compressed into a single export file (Filename.BEX). This file can be imported on every system with the same or a higher BrowserBob version installed.

Purchase BrowserBob
Clicking this item opens a browser window leading you to the BrowserBob online store, where you can securely buy BrowserBob licenses with instant delivery. Ordering with a credit card will enable you to activate your full version within minutes.

Here you can enter your licence key to upgrade your BrowserBob trial version to a full version. The BrowserBob trial version can be used free of charge for 30 days referring to our licence terms. To keep on using BrowserBob and upgrade to a full version you need to register by purchasing a licence key under www.browserbob.com. If not registered the register dialog will always appear when BrowserBob is started.

External Editors...:
Opens a dialog, where you can specify the paths to your preferred graphics editors for bitmaps (bmp), gifs and jpg image files. These entries decide upon which graphics editor will open when you click on the
"edit image" button next to any graphic on the properties window.
