standard options for handling gpc and gpj files file types gpc is the scripting language for all cronus devices gpj is a project file that includes a collection of gpc scripts new to create a new file, select file 👉 new and a sub menu will open offering a number of options including templates of sample scripts to illustrate some basic structures of the gpc programming language empty file as the name implies, this option creates a blank file that opens as a new tab in the compiler window gpc script create a blank gpc script by generating the main function which opens as a new tab in the compiler window remap sample create a sample remap gpc script which opens as a new tab in the compiler window combo rapid fire create a sample combo rapid fire gpc script which opens as a new tab in the compiler window open to open a gpc script or gpj project file, select file 👉 open (ctrl + o) an 'open script or project' dialog will appear and you can select one or multiple files to open each file will be opened in an individual compiler tab, if a file was already opened, its corresponding compiler tab will auto select add file to project all opened gpc scripts can be saved into a single project file (gpj) a project file is an easy way to recall the currently opened gpc files to add a gpc file to a project, an existing project must first be open in the compiler (see image below) select file 👉 add file to project and a 'add a file to the current project' dialog will appear asking you to select a gpc script file you can also click on the 'add file' button save to save a gpc script file, select file 👉 save (ctrl + s) if the script has not been previously saved, a 'save script as' dialog will appear asking you to choose a destination and filename if the file exists, it will be overwritten important make sure you select the tab or click inside the compiler window to focus on the script you wish to save if the script is not selected, the save & compile options will not be available info to indicate that a gpc file was changed and has not yet been saved, an asterisk( ) will be displayed in its tab, after the filename save as to save an existing gpc script or gpj project file to a different file or location, select file 👉 save as a 'save script as' dialog will appear asking you to choose a destination and filename save all to save all open gpc scripts, select file 👉 save all a 'save script as' dialog will appear asking you to choose a destination and filename for each of the scripts that are open in compiler save project all opened gpc scripts can be saved into a single project file (gpj) a project file is an easy way to recall the currently opened gpc files to save a gpj project file, first, make sure all the scripts you wish to include in the project are saved, then select file 👉 save project if the project has not been previously saved, a 'save project as' dialog will appear asking you to choose a destination and filename if the file exists, it will be overwritten save project as to save an existing gpj project file to a different file or location, select file 👉 save project as a 'save project as' dialog will appear asking you to choose a destination and filename close to close a gpc script, highlight the tab in the compiler that you wish to close and select file 👉 close you can also click on the x in the right corner of the tab if you have any unsaved data in a gpc file, zen studio will always ask if you'd like to save those changes before closing any file close all to close all files in the compiler, select file 👉 close all close project to close the open project file in the compiler, select file 👉 close project recent files zen studio keeps a list of the 10 most recently opened files in the file 👉 recent files menu, so you can reopen them quickly by simply clicking on the file name relaunch as admin zen studio requires full windows administrator permissions if a windows install has a restricted or corrupt profile, it can prevent the software from functioning correctly a solution to this is to open zen studio in admin mode, this is easily done by selecting file 👉 relaunch as admin if you have any open tabs in the compiler, you will get a warning message to close those tabs if zen studio has started in admin mode successfully, you will see \[admin] displayed in the title bar exit close the zen studio software 😜
