SAVING FILES
Deko500 always saves the file in the active window.
Deko500 automatically attaches the standard extension to the file name. For example,
a macro file named myfile is saved as myfile.mcr.
Standard extensions in Deko500 include:
Deko Graphic (.dko) Macro (.mcr)
Preset Styles (.pst) Sequence (.seq)
Preset Shader (.shd) Custom Typeface (.fac)
Style (.sty)
An asterisk (*) next to a file name on a window’s title bar indicates that the file has
been modified since it was last saved.
When you save a file under a new name, Deko500 prompts with the name of the most
recently saved file and appends a numeric suffix. Use up or down arrows to increment
or decrement this number.
