Menu
On this page you will find an overview of all menu items of the TextEncoder with an explanation of the respective function. An explanation of the functions of other program parts of the TextEncoder can be found in the function overview.
- File > Convert and Save all Files (SHIFT+CTRL+S): Converts and saves all files that are currently in the file list in the main window according to the selected actions and storage options. This function corresponds to a click on the button "Convert and Save" at the bottom right of the main window.
- File > Add Files (CTRL+O): Opens single files and adds them to the file list in the main window. Alternatively, you can also drag and drop single files onto the TextEncoder to add them to the file list.
- File > Add Files from Folder (CTRL+D): Opens the dialog for searching folders. A folder can be selected in this dialog, the files from this folder are then added to the file list in the main window. If you do not want to add all files from the selected folder, you can use the options under "Filter". Alternatively, you can also drag and drop one or more folders onto the TextEncoder to add the files from those folders to the file list.
- File > Remove Selected Files: Removes all selected files from the file list.
- File > Remove not Selected Files: Removes all files from the file list that are not selected.
- File > Remove All Files (SHIFT+CTRL+W): Removes all files from the file list, regardless of whether the files are selected or not selected.
- File > Import File List (CTRL+I): Adds all files whose paths are stored in the selected .filelist-file to the file list of the TextEncoder. The .filelist-file is a text file that contains paths to files each per line. Those files can be created for example via the function "Export File List" (CTRL+E). If you import a spreadsheet or table format such as XLSX, ODD, CSV, TSV, HTML or DIF using this function instead of such a text file, all cells in the respective file are searched for file paths. If a cell only contains a file path and the corresponding file exists, this file will be added to the TextEncoder's file list. This makes it possible, for example, to load file lists of these formats created with the FilelistCreator.
- File > Export File List (CTRL+E): Saves all files that are currently in the file list as .filelist-file. This .filelist-file is a text file that contains all paths to the files each per line and can be loaded again using the function "Import File List" (CTRL+I).
- File > Exit (ESC): Closes the entire program TextEncoder.
- Settings > General: These settings are explained on the page settings.
