New Log

Adds a new log to the existing project.  You can also right click on a log to duplicate it or delete it.

New Project

Upon starting BorinGS, a new project consisting of a single blank log is automatically created.  Selecting File-New will create a new project for data entry.  If a file is currently open, the new file will open in a new window.

Open Project

Select File-Open to open a previously saved project in the current window.  To open the project in a new window, first create a new project (File-New) and then open the existing file.

Open Recent

Use this menu to open a recently accessed file in the current window.

Save

Save the current project using the current filename.  If the project has not yet been saved, you will be prompted to enter a filename.

Save As

Save the current project using a new filename.

Print Log

Generate a PDF file using the current log of the open project, and open it in the system's registered PDF handler (such as Adobe Reader).  From here, after confirming that the log looks correct, use the PDF viewer to print the data to the appropriate printer, or save a copy of the PDF file for later use.

Print All in Project

Like Print-Log, but prints all logs in the current project to a PDF file.

Print Fence

Open the fence dialog for use in printing fence diagrams.  See the Printing Fence Logs section and the Fence Log Tutorial for more information.

Exit

Use this to completely exit the software.  If there are unsaved changes to the open project(s), a confirmation window will be displayed before exiting the software.

Note that on the Mac, this will be called "Quit" under the BorinGS menu.
