| Files |  |  |

Open | F5 | The focus is on the stack-list and it can be opened (with double/single- Click or Enter) an existing stack.
Open temporary | Alt+F5 | it can open a stack outside of your own system (e.g. from the backups) to copy before there's a note on one of the stacks (F10 or F11). The temporary state is both the title of the window and in the status bar visible. Files with names in unicode are not displayed and files with spaces in the name cannot be loaded !
Save | Alt+F2 | Saves the stack. The corresponding icon is grayed out again. Then he is no longer restore with Alt+F3.
Save as | Shift+F2 | Saves the current stack under another name. For the name of the stacks, certain rules apply and not all characters are allowed and will be removed automatically. They must also not contain Spaces.
Reload | Alt+F3 | Changes to the active stack are discarded and the last saved from disk is reloaded. Of course only as long as the stack has not been saved or another one loaded !
Settings | AltGr+O | The settings and options can be made.
Save settings | AltGr+S | The settings can be saved under any name (*.set).
Load settings |  | From these files (*.set) in the program directory either all or only one of the 5 areas can be loaded: Positions and sizes of the windows and double/single clicks (sidebars) Colors and fonts ("Local" tab on the top left) Programs ("Environment" tab up to the dividing line) The settings of the menu "View" The local settings ("Local" tab without color) However, the tab "Global" always remains and the lower part of the "Environment" tab unconsidered ! This is particularly useful when you need different settings for different jobs. They can be loaded at any time during Info-Base is running.
Print | AltGr+P | The current note or a group is printed. The text automatically wraps to the page width (A4). A short title can be given for the printout. TABs are only up to 18 per line visible and when they are needed in line with each other, lead to small shifts.
Printer setup |  | The System dialog appears.
Start batch | AltGr+B | The IBbat is a small utility program for the Info-Base for various file operations that run in a separate task in the background. It must be in the Info-Base directory. It is intended for copying, deleting and moving (media) files that are cataloged in the Info-Base. It makes maintenance of large collections easier. After starting one of the options (Copy, Move or Delete) is to be selected and "Exit" becomes "Abort". "Abort" can be used to interrupt the process, but it must be noted that the current process must be completed using a file. This may take a little longer when copying and moving large files. Deleting is very quick. The files in the list are only copied if they are newer or nonexistent. Of course, only files that exist can be deleted. Particular caution is required when deleting. Both the source files and the target files can be deleted. The program is only automatically closed, the list is deleted and a backup copy (IBbat.bak) is created only if all the files in the list have been processed. Space requirements on the destination are not checked - IBbat only copies as many files as there is space ! The file IBbat.ubi (list) can be edited in the batch editor .
Files to batch | Shift+F5 | All linked files of a note or a "group" (F9) are written into a file IBbat.ubi . This can later be processed by an external program (IBbat.exe) in a separate task. Attention: Files that are not linked on the note but are still included (e.g. subtitles) must be entered manually into the list. It is advisable to check the respective stack beforehand with Shift+F11 ! If a file link is faulty or the source file does not exist, the process is aborted with an error message. Then the entries in the batch editor should be checked. Single linked files can be written by AltGr+Click into this file and later edited as desired. The linked files can be copied with the whole directory structure of the source or only as a file.
Holtkeys |  | Most hotkeys can be changed. It is not checked whether a hotkey is already taken. However, certain keys cannot be entered (BkSp, Enter, Del, Esc). Combinations with F1 often cause difficulties or have an annoying delay, with the exception of Alt+F1 and Shift+Alt+F1 . Likewise, some global key combinations may not work here. The changes are written to Hotkeys.ini in the program directory. If this file is deleted, the preset buttons are active again. Of course, existing keyboard macros have to be adapted to the changes as well ! Attention: With updates from Info-Base can come to problems when the menus or hotkeys something has changed. For this reason, you should have the list (hotkeys to a note) generated before you transfer the new version, so that you can enter the changes you want later. Then Hotkeys.ini can and must be deleted.
Hotkeys to a note |  | Creates a simple list of hotkeys in the active stack. The changed hotkeys marks with a "--->" and parentheses in the default value.
Maximize / minimize | AltGr+V | It can be toggled with AltGr+V as well as with a Click on the title bar. The division (only the two horizontal sliders !) of the maximized screen can be changed and will be saved, if in the menu View "Safe positions + sizes" is activated.
Exit | Alt+X | Info-Base is closed and everything backed up automatically so that you can close the program directly from a note.
