To activate Redo/Undo to select "File\Preference\Activate Undo Functions".
The "Undo" function used in many graphics software
programs requires an enormous amount of memory and this memory is freed only
after closing the applications
The functions Redo/Undo of 3D Gugle are not limited to a set number, do not
require the use of RAM and do not decrease computer speed/performance.
The In/Out process of the files is managed from 3D Gugle. For each new function applied to the image using the button. "OK", which is present in the various controls’ dialogues, the Undo memory is increased by one unit.
The management of Undo can be made in two ways:
with the "Edit" menu or using the keys function from: Shift + F2 to Shift + F4.
The functions are the followings:
<< Undo FIRST from the menu "Edit" or
Shift+F2 recall the first memory of Undo: in other words the original image.
>> Redo LAST from the menu "Edit" or
Shift+F5 recall the last memory of Undo: that is the last performed work.
<< Undo from the menu "Edit" or Shift+F3
recall preceding memory.
>> Redo from the menu "Edit" or Shift+F4
recall the following memory.
The Undo memory is cleared and a new cycle restarted when "File/Open/image" or "Edit/Paste" is used.
When the Redo/Undo functions are not used it is a good thing to deactivate from the menu "File\Preference\Activate Undo Functions"
On opening a window of type "New Window" (menu
"View\New Window" or using the button "Clone" normally present in the window
dialogue) the screen image is recopied in the local memory of the "New Window"
device.
The window has its own menu "Edit\Copy" to transfer the local memory to the
Window’s clipboard.
For the operation in the memory see "Save/Recall/Free Memory".
Open Save configurable dialogue
The dialogue of Open/Save becomes visible when we save or open an image(s).
"Open/Save" works with the most
modern methods of file management.
The dialogue memorises two directories; one is where the last file is saved and
the second one is the directory is opened.
If you remember this simple principle you can
operate quickly and without errors.
To load
a single file select the file in the list and then "OK"
or double click on the file name.
To load a series of files
select the file with the same rule of Window’s multi-selection
and then "OK".
Note
An image can be also open by dragging the name from Windows Explorer to the 3D
Gugle window.
The files of 3d Gugle projects (Work) with extension "* .3dd" you can also open
in direct way by dragging on the screen, or double clicking on the file name in
Windows Explorer .
In the same way you can open all formats of 3D Gugle as "*.gna;
*.ppm;*.sbc;*.gzp;*.huf;*.ggm;*.crp".
