Saving objects

You can save the objects that you create to a repository, to a QMF catalog, or to a file. In order to facilitate saving objects, QMF offers several save commands and save wizards.

The save commands are Save, Save At and Save All. The status of the current active object determines which save commands are available. The active object status can be one of the following:
  • The object is new and has never been saved.
  • The object is a previously saved object and no changes have been made to the open object.
  • The object is a previously saved object and changes have been made to the open object.
The save commands perform as follows:
  • If the object is a previously saved object and no changes have been made to the open object there are no save commands available.
  • If the object is a previously saved object and changes have been made to the open object, you can use any of the save commands. The Save command will save the object in its original location. The Save At command will open the save wizards where you can save the object to a new location. The Save All command will sequentially save all active objects opening the save wizards only when the object is new and has never been saved.
  • If the object is new and has never been saved, you can use any of the save commands to open the save wizards.
