The File Menu

The File Menu groups a file or project-related commands. It is similar to KEXI menu. Selecting most of the commands opens a screen adjacent to the KEXI menu, offering the features of the chosen command.

The commands offered are:

New Project: This command launches an assistant to create a new KEXI project.
Open Project: Here, you can choose to open any KEXI projects whether stored in a file or a database server.
Open Recent: Here, you can choose to open any recently open KEXI project whether stored in a file or a database server.
Save: This command saves changes made in the active window, such as in a table or form design.
Save As: This command saves the object open in the active window, such as a table or form design, under a different name, creating a copy of the object.
Import Database: This command imports entire existing database as a new KEXI project.
Close Tab: This command closes the object currently open in the active window of the KEXI project. If there are unsaved changes, you will be prompted to save them.
Close All Tabs: This command closes all objects currently open in the KEXI project. If there are unsaved changes, you will be prompted to save them.
Close Project: This command closes the currently open KEXI project. If necessary, you will be prompted to save any unsaved changes in the project.
Quit: Closes the KEXI application. Any existing project will be closed first, if open.
