File menu

The basic menu for project and script file operations.

Items

Save

Saves the currently edited file. Shortcut Ctrl + S.

Save All & Build

Saves all open files and compiles the project. Because syntax errors in sequences and functions surface at build time, pressing F6 or Ctrl + S frequently while editing is recommended.

New

Creates an empty project. A dialog asks for project name, save path, and template.

Open Project

Opens an existing project (.xproj). Recently opened projects appear as a submenu (up to 10).

Close Project

Closes the current project. If there are unsaved changes, you are prompted to save first.

Open Folder → Project

Opens the current project folder in Explorer — handy for inspecting sources, build artifacts, and config files directly.

Open Folder → Script

Opens the folder containing script (.xs) files.

Exit

Quits QMachineStudio. You are warned if any unsaved work exists.

Tips

  • When a project is re-opened, the previous session's tabs and cursor positions are restored. Clean up irrelevant tabs before Close Project to keep the workspace focused.
  • New produces a minimal template — for real equipment projects, look at the sample-project template first.
