Saved files...Open & Import

Hi all

When I want to use a file I get a Shorter list of files with OPEN file than if I were to use IMPORT file..How come!

Also, I renamed and saved an image file yesterday after getting much improved settings results. I saved it…‘File save as’. then I was shutting down and I was asked if I wanted to Save or Discard, So I pressed discard as I did not want to get in a saving loop. I could not find it today after powering on.

Ps Is there a way to get more room in the/this typing window. I get three lines on my phone, but only one on my laptop.

By default the open command is looking for lbrn or lbrn2 files only, the import command is looking for all supported files. Open is what you want to use for bringing in a Lightburn project file. That will include any settings that were saved with the file.

Import is what you use to bring in graphics. If you import a Lightburn file, it will bring in only the graphics from that file and not load any settings.

Sounds like the save as didn’t take for whatever reason.

Hover your mouse over the blue bar. Your cursor will change and you can drag it up as far as you want to.

Ah, excellent Tim..The narrow window was really cramping my style.
Major advancements in learning today..Homing is perfect and understanding of engraving is comming on great. Figured out how to do a proper vid and upload to Drive and got one sent off to snapmaker to view the Framing issue.

Thanks for all your help.
