A new Project Manager has been added to the product and provides unparalleled power in managing a Superbase application. All of the components can be seen in the outline control. Multiple items can be selected in the outline control and opened as one operation. Double-clicking any item in the outline control opens it in the appropriate tool. Right-clicking and selecting Modify from the pop-up menu will load it into the appropriate editor. Double-clicking files in the Other folder will open them in their appropriate tool if the file extension is registered in Windows.

A click on a program file in the program file list shows all procedures, functions, and labels in the program. A double-click on the procedure, function, or label loads the program into the program editor if it is not already there and positions the cursor on that line in the center of the editor window.

Selecting an SBF shows the important elements of the SBD. Right-clicking on a field in the SBD shows a right-mouse pop-up menu to find all usages of the field name in the entire project, or alternatively to rename the field everywhere in the project (including in SBVs, SBBs, SBQs, SBPs, etc.).

Selecting an SBQ (Quick Report or QBE) shows the contents of the report formatted so that it can be read easily. The same for SBUs (Updates). SBBs (label files) show the list of fields used in the order that they are used. SBKs show the function key assignments.

Selecting a form shows the list of all event procedures used in the form. Double-clicking one of those will find the place where it is implemented in the program code (if possible) and if it finds it, will open the program and place the cursor on the appropriate line of code.

The import function can be used to update or create a new project. Existing items will be ignored, but new ones added. The import function can recursively import all of the files in a subdirectory tree.

Opening a project automatically switches to the base directory of the project.

Project files (*.sbj) can be stored in one place by default, so that they will always be looked for in that place when the Open Project menu item is selected. This makes it very easy to switch from one project to another.
