Scenes Window
The Scenes Window is the interface to save the current Workbench session (loaded files and settings) as a Scene (in a .scene file). Scenes allow one to save a snapshot of a Workbench session that contains a record of all of the files loaded and view settings, making it easy to get to a specific display. Using scenes, one can "pick up where they left off" when reopening Workbench.

- Scene File selection is used to choose among loaded Scene files. Use File>Open File... to load an existing scene file and have it show up in this selector.

- BALSA Study ID contains the Study ID that is provided when uploading the scene file to the BALSA Database (currently in development). Press the Edit button to change this value.

- New... button creates a new Scene File. A new Scene File is created with no scenes within it. Add any number of scenes with the A dd button.

- Show loads the active (highlighted in blue) scene. Double clicking on a scene's title/description will also show the scene.

- Preview... opens a separate window with an enlarged display of the highlighted scene's thumbnail along with the name and description.

- Add... creates a new scene within the current Scene File and adds it to the bottom of the list of scenes. The scene needs to be set up before clicking this button.

- Insert... creates a new scene that is added to the scene list above the currently highlighted scene.

- Replace... is used to modify an existing scene. T he highlighted scene will be overwritten at the time the Replace button is clicked, therefore make scene changes before clicking this button. When a scene is replaced, the name/description of the scene can also be edited.

- Move Up moves the selected scene up one position in the list of scenes.

- Move Down moves the selected scene down one position in the list of scenes.

- Delete... allows one to delete a highlighted scene from the Scene File.

- Show Scene Options

- Use background and foreground colors from scene when a scene is created, the foreground and background colors are added to the scene and will be used when the scene is displayed. Note that the background and foreground colors are adjusted using the Preferences Dialog. When a scene is loaded that contains background and foreground colors, they will override the user's Preferences colors until a different scene is loaded, a spec file is loaded, or this checkbox is unchecked.

Note: All additions and modifications to a scene file are not ultimately saved (to disk) until one clicks Save checked files in Save/Manage files (accessed from the File menu).
