A project file (.gpr) provides you with the ability to organize data of complex projects in one large file. A .gpr file not only stores maps, areas, and layers, but also includes all path information to data, viewing preferences, such as the last zoom level you worked at, and all associated map elements. A .gpr file can also include multiple maps, areas, and all associated layers.
Each file included in a project is listed in the control pane on the Files tab. All files and layers are available for use in a project at any time. When working with .gpr files, you can use any of the available viewing and editing options. You can also manage RGB and grayscale layers in a project file by using the shortcut menus available when you right-click an item on the Maps and Files tabs.
When you right-click an item on the Files tab, the shortcut menu lists the available commands for working with that data type. For example, when you right-click a file, a shortcut menu appears, listing commands for managing files. With RGB or grayscale layer, the commands are for managing the layers as a data file and for adjusting attributes, statistical properties, and overviews for the layer.
