Project Files

You can save your work environment into a project file (.tbx). A project file
stores allocated resources and the current bin. Saving your environment eases
the transition of set-ups between users. A descriptive project title is displayed
in the title bar of the Tool Box application, including the current machine name
and channel.

A project file contains the following information for the last Profile machine
connected to:

• What the last machine was.

• The Resource Manager configuration.

• The current bin.

If you connect to a new remote Profile machine during a session, the default
settings for that Profile machine (saved by Resource Manager) are used for that
machine. If no defaults have been saved, factory defaults are used.

To save the current work environment in a project file in the current working
directory:

• Choose

File | Save

.

To open an existing project file:

• Choose

File | Open

.

You can also specify a project file name when you start the Tool Box Editor
from a command line:

tbxedit.exe myproject.tbx

To create a new project file:

• Choose

File | New.

You are asked to save the current project file (if necessary) and then if you are
connected to a local machine, the Tool Box Editor caches media and is set up
using a default configuration. If you are connected remotely, you are also asked
which machine to connect to in the Connect to Machine dialog box.

To save an existing project file under a different name:

• Choose

File | Save As.
