Important hints for opening an existing file

If you want to create a new list or open an existing list you will see the following window.

New/Open

Name: In this field you must a enter a unique name, which will appear on the tab of the list. You can rename the list later.

File: You can enter the filename. It's recommended, that you use the ending ".nyc" for a new file. But you can also type in the name of old files of the program BirthdayChecker. Alternatively you can choose a file simply by opening the file dialog and selecting a file.

Encoding: This field is only available when opening an existing file. New files are saved as UTF-8, so this option makes no sense. When opening an existing file, anYChe do not know, which encoding is used for special characters like german Umlaute. Therefore you can define the encoding of the file. On Windows platforms this can be UTF-8, CP1252 or CP850.

If anYChe has problems reading all lines of a file, you will be informed about the number of lines, which could not be read successfully. In this case it is recommended to close the file and reopen it with another encoding.
