Binder Control Area

Use the buttons in the Binder control area as follows:

• Save saves your changes to the Binder database. Save replaces the standard File menu button because it is the only file operation used by the Binder.

• View determines which Binder entries you want to display. See the following section, "Binder Databases" for more information.

• Undo undoes the last operation. The operations that are undoable are the buttons at the bottom of the base window: New, Duplicate, and Delete. If no editing operations have been made since the Binder was started or since the last Save, the Undo button is dimmed and unavailable. Undo replaces the standard Edit menu button because it is the only Edit function used by the Binder.

• Props displays the properties of a Binder entry. There are two components for each Binder entry: the Icon properties that determine how a file is displayed and operated on by the DeskSet applications, and the File Type properties that determine which files are bound to the Icon properties. See the section "Binder Properties" for more information.
