The Exit button closes the main window and terminates the program Line Counter. Furthermore, in case of made changes the user gets asked to save these changes into a so–called The Environment file. Such a file can later be reloaded. For more information about loading an Environment file please see explanations about toolbar button Open here below. |

The New button allows users to create a new Environment. Such an Environment allows saving the settings of a specific file analysis configuration. Those settings are for example the chosen base path, currently used filter configuration, currently selected folder or file set, and so on. More information about saving and loading Environments can be found in the explanations about toolbar button Open and Save here below. |

The Open button allows users to load an existing Environment which contains the settings of a file analysis configuration. Such settings are for example the chosen base path, currently used filter configuration, currently selected folder or file set, and so on. A Line Counter environment file usually ends on extension *.env. But this extension is not mandatory because each environment file is saved in XML format and can therefore include any extension. See also explanations about toolbar button Save. |

The Save button allows users to save all currently used file analysis settings into an Environment file. This file is made persistent and can therefore later be reloaded. Please note this toolbar button is disabled as long as the current configuration hasn’t been changed. Additionally, keep in mind that this button does not distinguish between Save and Save As, because the File Save dialog box is opened in any case. See also explanations about toolbar button Open. |

The Include button is intended to choose a subset of folders
or files. Then the chosen folders or files are used when a file analysis takes place.
This means in turn, if neither a subset of folders nor a subset of files is chosen
then a file analysis is done beginning at preselected base path and includes all
matching files in all available folders. All in all, this menu provides five menu
items. See below for more details about these menu items.
Select Included Folders This menu item opens the Select Included Folders dialog window. With this dialog box users are able to choose a subset of folders that have to be included in the file analysis. Not selected folders are excluded automatically. Please note this menu item is enabled only if edit control Base Path contains a valid path value. For more information about selecting folders see section Select Included Folders.

Please note this menu item is enabled only if edit control Base Path contains a valid path value. For more information about selecting folders see section Select Included Files. Clear File Selection This menu item allows the clear a previously chosen list of files that are included in a file analysis.
