Project Handling
mapstard.com

User defined Layers, Maps, Media, and all other application settings, including Output Window setup are called a Project in mapstard. 
Projects can be saved to - and loaded from file, deployed to other computers and grouped into Playlists for automated playback.

The Media, FreeFrameGL Effects and 3D Models contained in a Project are not stored inside the Project file, they are referenced via their own file location and file name. The File Menu provides the [ Deploy Project] functionality, which saves the Project and copies all referenced files in a folder you specify. The folder can be easily be to another computer running mapstard afterwards. 

The Project handling functions are located in the File Menu, as described below. Click in the links to get more topic specific information.
