Save All

This section describes the Save all and Open all functions that are available in the Sound: Analysis and Specification application.

The Save all feature allows you to save the current windows and their contents for access at a later date. Opening the save file will reload the same windows, modules and content that were open when it was created.

The following windows and modules are saved by the Save all feature:

  • Spectral windows
  • Temporal windows
  • Time-frequency windows
  • Sound Composer project
  • ASD Designer project

To Save all:

  1. Select Save from the File menu.
  2. Click Save all, or Save all as to also specify a filename and location.

The currently-open windows and modules and their contents are saved.

Note: The Save all action creates a .sas file in the location specified, along with separate folders for the Spectral, Temporal, Time-frequency (TF), Sound Composer and ASD Designer contents and configurations. These folders contain a copy of all the files in use, and Save all therefore provides an easy method of sharing work between users.

To Open all:

  1. Select Open from the File menu.
  2. Click Open all, select the required .sas save file from the system dialog and click Open.

The saved windows and modules and their contents are reloaded.

Note: If several temporal signals or spectra were combined in a single window when the .sas file was created, these will be launched in separate windows when it is reopened.
