# Chapter 3. Command Reference

When you start KView you see the typical application layout: a workspace containing your documents (images in this case), a menubar that provides access to the various commands, a toolbar with shortcut buttons for some of them and a status bar at the bottom to display status messages. When you have the loaded an image into KView, there is also an additional context menu available which is diplayed by clicking your right mouse button over the image (you knew that already, didn't you?). Below, all menu entries are explained in the order= that they appear in the menubar.

# 3.1. The File Menu

File->Open (Ctrl+O)

  Opens a new image in KView. The size of the KView main window and the image after loading are determined by your settings. If you open several images, only the last one is shown, but all of them can be accessed using the image list.

File->Open Recent

  Displays a list of recently opened images. Selecting one from this list reopens the image.

File->Save (Ctrl+S)

  Save the current image.

File->Save As

  Saves the image under a different name. By choosing a new file format you can convert the image to a different graphics type.

File->Close (Ctrl-W)

  Closes the currently displayed image.

File->Print (Ctrl+P)

  Prints the image.

File->New Window (Ctrl+N)

  Creates a new (empty) application window.

File->Close Window (Ctrl+X)

  Closes the currently active window. If you have only one window open this effectively finishes your KView session.

File->Quit (Ctrl+Q)

  Quits KView. If you have several KView windows open, all of them are closed.
