15.3 Saving a File

Outliner Editor

Blender File Mode

On a computer, when you save a Blender file (.blend) you

are saving the data which is producing the display on the

computer screen. This set of data includes not only what

you see but all the settings which control all the effects

that will be displayed in the various Editors. The Blender

file may be considered as a complete package. Saving a

file for the default arrangement saves everything.

Figure 15.2 shows the data listed in the Outliner Editor

which would be saved for the default Blender Scene. Even

before any editing has taken place the list is extensive. All

this data is saved to a single file.

has

been

named

My_New_File. Although not shown, in this Windows file

system the file does have a .blend suffix.

Note: Figure 3.2 shows the Outliner Editor in Blender File Mode.

Note: Placing an A in front of the Directory Folder name ensures that it is

located at the top of the alphabetical directory list.
