SPANA: Interacting with Windows
The main window reacts to drag-and-drop:
- Have both the File Manager (or Windows Explorer)
and the main SPANA-window visible on the screen,
- Select a file (or a group of files) in the File Manager,
- Click the left mouse button down, and without releasing it, move the mouse
(drag the file) away from the File Manager,
place the cursor on top of the main SPANA-window,
and then release the mouse button (drop the file).
This will have the same effect as selecting a file name by pulling down the
File menu of the main SPANA-window.
File association: Files with extension plt and
dat may be automatically associated with
SPANA during setup.
In such a case, a diagram is displayed when its name is double-clicked in
the File Manager, and a data-file may be added to the file-name list
when its name is double clicked. File association may be changed with the menu
Preferences /
General options.
