Set here the complete address of the file to import.
Places
Choose here the directory (folder) to start searching
or the transfer protocol to import the file. Initially
the default is the
Current working directory. When the
dialog is reopen,
Places always show the
Last folder,
even if the last selected option was
HTTP or
FTP.
When the selected option is
HTTP or
FTP, the
protocol is copied to the
Path label below, and the
full file name should be entered in the
File entry.
For example, selecting
HTTP and writing
www.gamgi.org/dat/molecule/silicates/q10.xml
or seleting
FTP and writing
ftp.gamgi.org/gamgi/dat/molecule/silicates/q10.xml
in both cases will import the silica monomer Si(OH)4.
Folder
Single click on a folder name, to select that folder. Click
on
.. to go to the previous folder. The current folder
is indicated by the
Path label below.
File
Single click on a file name to transport its name to the
File
entry below. The complete filename is formed by the contents
of the
Path label plus the
File entry. Currently
the full file name must have less than 200 characters and
the actual file name must have less than 50 characters.
Currently GAMGI can import in the following formats: 1) native XML
(extension .xml); 2) xyz (extension .xyz). GAMGI always uses the file
extension to decide the file format, so for example a proper xyz
file with an extension .xml will be parsed as a XML file and
flagged down as an invalid file. When the filename has no
extension, GAMGI assumes it is written in its native XML format.
GAMGI accepted formats are described in the documentation in
Manuals->Formats and online on
Help->Topic->Formats.
GAMGI XML format is a vectorial format, so all information is
preserved in the file, including non-default configuration data.
Configuration data is always written in the beginning of the file,
so it is already loaded when the object data is imported (a necessary
step to guarantee that after importing the file the initial state
is fully restored again).
