Before launching any layout with an FRG viewer, launch the hidden layout!
Please note that the invisible layout is treated like all other layouts, e.g. the command Unload
all layouts of the Layout Selector also unloads the invisible layout and thus closes the preloaded
viewer applications.
To start them again without any delay in a layout, the invisible layout has to be explicitly
launched again!
Saving layouts and shortcuts
Select Save from the File menu to save all shortcut and layout changes in the database. A copy of the database
with the name ApolloDatabase.mdb.back is placed into the same directory before saving any changes.
Drag&Drop, shortcuts, context menu
Use Drag&Drop to insert windows and shortcuts in the TreeView. For a convenient handling click on the button
Second tree view. This opens a 1:1 copy of the tree view and allows easy dragging of objects.
The commands Cut, Copy, Paste are also available by means of the Windows shortcuts Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.
Right mouse click on an object displays the associated context menu and gives access to the respective edit
commands. Context menus are available for the objects of the TreeView, of the Desktop, and of the task bar.
A window on the desktop has two context menus, one associated with the title bar, the other
associated with the contents of the windows.
