File Save Dialog


Save in

Lists the available folders and files. To see how the current folder fits in the hierarchy on your computer, click the down arrow. To see what's inside a folder, click it.

File and Folder List

This list displays all the files and folders located in the folder specified by the Save in field that match the search specifications of the File name field and/or the Files of type field. You may select any file in this list and press Ok to overwrite the file. You may also double-click on any file in this list to overwrite the file.

File name

This box allows you to type a full path to a file, a relative path to a file, a path to another folder to browse, a file name to save to, or a partial filename with wildcards (* and ?) to search for. Depending on what you choose to do, the Save in field and the File and Folder List will update to reflect the change. If you type in a valid file name and press Ok or Enter, then that file will be created and saved to.

Save as type

Select the file format you wish to save the active Module Session to. Dependency Walker provides four options for this list:

Dependency Walker Image (DWI)

DWI files represent a complete snapshot of the current Module Session. They are binary files that are only recognizable to Dependency Walker. DWI files may be loaded by Dependency Walker at a future time on any computer to view the complete results of the current Module Session as displayed on the computer that generated the Module Session.

Text (*.txt)

Selecting this option will save the contents of the System Information Dialog, Module Search Order Dialog, Module Dependency Tree View, Module List View, and Log View to a formatted text file that can be viewed with any text viewer.

Text with Import/Export Lists (*.txt)

This option is the same as the Text option, but also saves the contents of the Parent Import Function List View and Export Function List View in addition to the contents of the System Information Dialog, Module Search Order Dialog, Module Dependency Tree View, Module List View, and Log View to a formatted text file that can be viewed with any text viewer.

Comma Separated Values (*.csv)

This option will save the Module List View to a comma separated value (CSV) text file. CSV files can be easily imported into many applications such as Excel or Access. They may also be useful with any post processing tools you may write on your own. Each module in the Module List View uses one line in the CSV file. The text in each column of the Module List View are separated by commas in the CSV file. Any text that may contain a comma as part of its text will be put in quotes to prevent the comma from being interpreted as a column separator.
