A “Session” is how work is stored by AragoJ. The work made during a Session can be saved and retrieved at a later time.

Create a new Session

To create a new session, choose

  • File->New session (Ctrl+N)

You can work without saving the session but it is strongly advised that you save it just after creation.

Saving a Session

To save a session, choose

  • File->Save (Ctrl+S) or File->Save As (Ctrl+Shift+S)

Give any desired name to the file and save it to your preferred location. The file will be saved with an axml extension.

NOTICE: To keep the axml files to a manageable size, the images are not contained in the files, and only the image path (or paths) is saved. This means that if you want to open the session in another computer or if you change the image(s) location, the saved session will not open correctly the next time it is called, unless an identical path to the image(s) is found. To ensure that sessions will open in different machines, it is advisable that all files related to specific sessions are located in a folder in the root (for example, C:\AragoJ\Project1, where “AragoJ\Project1” can be replaced by any other folder names).

Saving a Session with a new name (Save as)

You can save an existing session with a new name by choosing

  • File->Save As (Ctrl+Shift+S)

This can be useful for quickly backing up work or for making changes without losing previous work.

Open a saved Session

To open a session saved earlier, choose

  • File->Open (Ctrl+O), and navigate to the desired axml file location.
