This screen manages the importing and exporting of Calenz data files (.dat). This is useful for sharing data between different PCs. You can export a file containing holidays from a particular year or even birthdays which your friends can import into their Calenz. The main data file that Calenz uses is called 'calenz.dat' and when you import a data file, this main file is updated. Also, the exporting option can also be used as a means to backup your Calenz data to other files.
Import Data File:
For
events on same days:
Select the method of importing if same days with events from the imported
file and the current Calenz data file occur:
Overwrite: Replace the current days with those in the imported file.
No overwrite: Do not replace similar days.
Append: Append the events from the imported file. The events are each separated by a space in the title field
and a carriage return in the memo field.
Import from file...:
Choose a file(.dat) to import from.
Export Data File:
Choose
which year and month:
Select the available year and month from the dropdown lists to export. You
can choose to export all the days by checking the 'All' checkbox.
Export
to file...:
Name a file(.dat) to export to.
Clear all data:
This
clears all the events in the data file (calenz.dat).
Before clearing, Calenz will prompt for a backup of the existing data to be exported. Type a new
filename to save the data if you want to and there will be a final confirmation to clear the
data.
British/American Date Format
Diary Mode
Web link...
You can choose to display the date as the British (dd/mm/yyyy) or American (mm/dd/yyyy) date format.
Check this to avoid deleting past events. Calenz will automatically delete past events (events earlier than today)
if the checkbox is not checked. Also, you can enter past events in Diary Mode and you have to delete these
events manually.
