Save facilities

Save

The tournament is saved into the default tournament directory/file.

Default tournament directory

The default tournament directory is the last directory where the tournament has been saved to.
Before the first save, the default tournament directory is the running directory.

Default file name

The default file name is the tournament short name.

Save as ...

You choose the directory and file name.
The tournament is saved. The chosen directory becomes the default directory.
The file name becomes the tournament short name.

Save a copy ...

You choose the directory and file name.
The chosen directory/file modifies neither the default directory nor the short name.
Use this to save copies of the current tournament.

Work files

After each modification, OpenGotha saves the current tournament to a work file : "runningdirectory"/tournamentfiles/work/"shortname".xml .
This file may be useful for instance in a case of accidental exit.
