Blender For Dummies. Jason van Gumster
4-14: The Blender File Browser.
Saving after the first time
.blend file once, saving gets much quicker. To do a fast save while you’re working, choose File ⇒ Save or, even faster, press Ctrl+S.
On larger projects, however, you may not want to continually overwrite the same file. In those cases, it’s often more favorable to save progressive versions of your project as you work on it. You can open the File Browser and type a new name for each version — but it’s slow. Often, when people save versions of a project file, they usually append a number to the end of the filename (for example, file1.blend, file2.blend, file3.blend, and so on). Blender knows this habit and aims to help you out.
Opening a file
.blend file is a straightforward task. Choose File ⇒ Open or press Ctrl+O. The File Browser opens again and allows you to choose which file you want to load. To load the file, left-click the filename and click the Open Blender File button in the upper right corner. If you have a large monitor and you don’t want to move your mouse that far or you’re just interested in speedy shortcuts, you can quickly select and open a file by double-clicking it.
Blender also gives you the ability to append datablocks from external .blend files. This is a bit of an advanced topic, but if you want to know more, I cover it on this book’s supplemental website (blenderbasics.com).
