Save List As…
The Save List As… function allows the user to save any list file or subset currently loaded in memory
within VisualSpreadsheet as a new list file. This is typically used after editing an original list file to
save the results (such as after deleting unwanted particles). In order to prevent inadvertent modifications
to FlowCAM data, VisualSpreadsheet will not allow saving changes to a list file using the same
filename.
Instead, the user can save modified list files with a different name using the Save List As... option. The
terminology “Save As…” means that any file saved in this fashion will require the user to supply a new
name for the file so the original data file is not overwritten. To protect the original List file, the file
name entered in the Save List As… dialog box must be different then the name of the List file currently
open. Otherwise, the following message will appear:
Click the OK button and enter a different List file name to continue. Attempts to rename list filenames
by directly changing names of files outside of VisualSpreadsheet (i.e. using Windows Explorer) is are
prone to error as filename references are embedded in several places in the data files. Therefore, it is
important to always use the Save As…menu command to rename List files, rather than renaming them
manually. An example of one error that may occur is that if a particle image collage TIF (.tif) file is
manually renamed, then the particle image cannot be located and a “?” will be displayed for each image,
as shown by the following example:
