Opening an Existing KEXI Project by Clicking on a .kexi File
Click on a .kexi file's icon showing in your file manager or on your desktop. KEXI will open this project automatically.
Notes
- .kexic and .kexis files. If you have selected a connection data file (with .kexic extension) or a shortcut to a project on database server file (with .kexis extension), KEXI will display appropriate database opening dialog.
- Note about KEXI Files Accessed Remotely. You may want to open a database file located on a remote source (e.g., a web or FTP server, or a Microsoft Windows network share). Your computer will typically allow you to open files from remote sources directly in applications and save changes back to the source, but this is not the case with database files. When you click on a database file located on a remote source, a copy of the file will be downloaded to a temporary directory on your computer, and all your changes will be made to this local file. The original remote file will remain unchanged. Therefore, it is recommended to first copy (download) the file to your computer, then open it for editing. You can copy it back to the remote source later if you wish to update the source copy.
