This section describes the functions under Toolbar→File.

Save, Save as and Load settings

These commands - also available in the bottom of the program as buttons - save the current settings as a INITFILEStoring settings - INITFILE which is used to initialize the numerical model, but also as a setting file for the GUI. "Load" opens some previously saved setting file from disk and replaces all current settings with the one from the file.

Save as defaults

This option will save all the current settings as default options that are loaded whenever the GUI is started

Create output directories

This command will create the current output directories (the path is shown in the bottom of the program in "Current output path:" This is not necessary if the numerical model is started from the GUI, but can be handy for example if you want to create directories before storing some other input files there.

Load minimal settings

This command will load the "factory settings", in practice these come from file located in ModelLib/gui/conf/minimal.init. When the model is started for the first time, or if the user defined defaults (saved in ModelLib/gui/conf/defaults.init) are missing, this file is loaded.

Export current case

This tool will ask location and name for a INITFILE, and also save other linked input files and vapour pressure files to this directory. The folder can be sent for example to a colleague, and they can replicate the run. The paths in the INITFILE are modified so that when it is loaded in the GUI, it should run straight away. NOTE: the chemistry scheme or the numerical model in general is not exported, along with some other initialization files which the user should not normally change. This has to be kept in mind if identical results on different systems are to be expected.

Print current INIT

This command prints out on the terminal window that was used to start the GUI same information which would be saved in the INITIFILE. This is handy sometimes for checking bits and pieces.

Quit

Closes the GUI and kills all subprocesses (like the numerical model if it has been started from the GUI)
