File Menu

• Open (or Ctrl-O) opens a raw file. If the operation has failed for some reason (format not supported, file corrupted), the program will keep the previously opened file active.
  
  If the current file contains samples whose data has not been yet saved, the program will ask if you want to save them prior to opening a new file. The coordinates of the existing samples and selection will be preserved after the new file is opened if they fall completely within the size of the new file. Other samples and selections will be lost. For the remaining ones, the statistical data will be recalculated using the values from the new file.
• Next file to open the next raw file in the current directory. The settings for the sorting order can be found at Preferences - Misc. Options File order. If the end of the list is reached and the user attempts to open a next file, the program responds with a beep, warning that there are no further files. Если
• Prev File  to open the previous raw file in the current directory.
• Close file:  closes the current file, frees up memory
  
  • closes all additional windows (samples, histograms)
  • changes the current folder to %HOME%/Pictures or %HOME%
    
    Useful when working with removable media (flash cards, and others), allows to un-mount and eject the device without closing RawDigger
• Export Tiff -  to export the data of the currently opened RAW-file as TIFF (see Data Export section below).
• Dump RAW curve: this menu item is active only for raw files that use a tone (compression) curve during unpacking. Using this menu item, the user can save the tone curve in the CSV format for subsequent examination.
• Screenshot: saves the image of the main program window in the PNG or JPG format. PNG is the default format; to save in JPG, one should select this extension in the File Save dialog box.
• Preferences: activates the dialog box, see description below in the Preferences section.
• Exit: quits the program. If there are any unsaved samples of data, the program will ask if you want to save them.
• In addition to the standard menu items listed above, the program remembers the 5 most recent files and displays their list in the File menu.

  When «Center selection on image» is checked «left» and «Top» fields are grayed-out. The position of the top left corner is calculated automatically so that the center of the selection is in the center of the image.
