Loading and Saving Projects

To open a project, choose the menu item File ▸ Open …. Select the project file (*.anjuta) in the dialog and click OK.

If the project has recently been opened, then you will find it listed in the menu File ▸ Recent. Choose the project filename from the list, and the project will be opened.

As soon as a project is opened, Anjuta will enter Project mode. There are three panes in the project window. The first is the project pane and lists project files organized by file type. The second is the symbol browser, which has already been discussed in the section The Symbol Browser. The third pane is the file view of the project and is more or less similar to a mini file-manager. In the file view, all the files present in the project tree are visible. Right-clicking on these files will pop up a context menu with file operations.

If the project is also a CVS tree, then corresponding file revision numbers are also listed to the right of file names in the file view pane.

The project is automatically saved when you close because all changes are made directly in the project structure.
