When a file is closed and saved, all marks set for that file as well as the current cursor
position will be remembered. If a file is then transferred to a PC, edited on the PC, and
then retransmitted to the Braille System, the marks and current cursor position are no
longer valid. In addition to the marks and the cursor position, the Braille System also notes
the file's current size while saving it. When the file is opened again, the Braille System
checks the size, to see if it is the same as that recorded at the last save. If it is, the marks
and the cursor position will be restored. If the current size deviates from the size noted
before, the Editor assumes that the file has been modified on the PC in the meantime, or
that it is dealing with a file of the same name, but different contents. In this case, the
cursor will be positioned at the beginning of the file upon opening it, and the bookmarks
associated with this file will be discarded.
5.2.19 Closing a File and Quitting the Editor (SPC+1 5 = Chord e)
Use [SPC+1 5] (Chord e) to save and then close the current file.
If the file was modified, the Editor will ask: 'Save changes (Y/N)?'
"n": The file is closed, changes are not saved.
"y": If the file is already named, it is saved under that name and closed. If it is a new
file which does not yet have a name, the Editor will suggest a name, depending on
the type of Braille System you are using. You can either change or accept this
name.
Please note:
1. The Editor is open until all open files have been closed.
2. Before you switch off your Braille System, all files that are open in the Editor must
be saved and closed. Shutting down the Braille System while files are open can
result in loss of data as well as damage to the files. Please refer to the additional
information regarding this matter in chapter 5.2.17.
5.2.20 Activating PC Mode from the Editor (SPC+1 2 3 4 = Chord p)
With [SPC+1 2 3 4] (Chord p), you can activate PC Mode directly from the Editor. Let's
assume your Braille System is connected to your computer and you are looking for an
address in the Braille System's internal Editor. At this moment, the PC notifies you via
acoustic signal that an e-mail has arrived. You are expecting an important e-mail, and
would like to quickly look at your mailbox. You can do this immediately by switching over to
PC Mode with [SPC+1 2 3 4] (Chord p) and then operating your PC. The Editor, in the
meantime, will be suspended, so that the Braille display is available to the screen reader.
You can open your mailbox, read the e-mail, and also take care of other tasks.
You can return to the Editor with [SPC+1 3 4] (Chord m). To do this, hold down [SPC+1 3
4] (Chord m) for a little while (approximately one half second).
!!!WARNING!!!
Before the Braille System is turned off, the Editor must be closed, with all edited files
saved. You should therefore always return to the Braille System's internal menu by using
[SPC+1 3 4] (Chord m), in order to ascertain the status of the Editor.
