What is an Oasis montaj Project?

Create a Project

  1. On the Project menu select New. The New Project dialog opens. Locate your project folder (i.e., the folder that contains your project data) and then specify a name for your Project. Oasis montaj will automatically look for your data in the folder containing this project.

  2. Click Save. Your new Project file (*.gpf) is created, and the Oasis montaj workspace displays the main menus and the Project Explorer.

Open a Project

  1. On the Project menu select Open. The Open Project dialog appears.

    3. Open Older Workspace (*.gws) Files

     Workspace files (*.gws) used in Oasis montaj prior to version 6.0 can be easily converted to Project files (*.gpf) simply by opening them in Oasis montaj 6.0 or greater.

    1. On the Project menu, select Open and the Open Project dialog will be displayed.

    2. Using the files of type drop-down list, select Workspaces (*.gws) and when asked if you want to convert the old workspace into a new Oasis montaj project file, select Yes.

    3. The workspace file will be converted to a project file and all associated workspace information will be transferred to the new project file.
