Fledermaus Project Dock

Project Dock

Project Dock

The Project Dock tab as shown in the figure above allows the user to interact with QPS Projects. The entry field at the top shows the current active project. The (recycle) button will re-read the project from disk and update the dock contents accordingly. The Close button will close the current project so it is not part of the current scene. When a project is loaded the rest of the dock will be filled in with the various project sections from raw data files to processed files in the project. When you right click on files different context menu options will be presented depending on the data type selected to perform actions on the selected files.  

This document is organized using numbers to match operations to the context menus they show up in. For example an operation labelled (2,3) shows up in menus 2 and 3.

Drag and Drop

It is now possible to drag any object from the Project dock to the scene window or to the Objects panel.  The object being dragged may be placed in a specific location in the Objects panel, for example in a group, or just dropped onto the Objects panel in which case it will be added to the end of the list of objects in that panel.
