Game Menu

#### Open File...

Use this option to open supported files that are not directly related to the current game. You can either choose from a file selection dialog or drag and drop the file from your file manager into the drop region.

You can also open internal game resources this way by selecting Open internal file and select the resource from the list.

Shortcut: Ctrl+I (Mac OS X: Command+I)

#### Open Game...

This option allows you to open a new game. The new game is determined by the file chitin.key which is part of every Infinity Engine game installation. Near Infinity remembers the last game and automatically opens it when you start this tool the next time. (Note: Game installations found in the same folder of the NearInfinity.jar always take priority.)

Shortcut: Ctrl+O (Mac OS X: Command+O)

#### Refresh Tree

You can use this option to instruct Near Infinity to reset all temporary caches. It is mainly useful if you want Near Infinity to detect new resources added to the override folder(s) of the game.

Shortcut: F5

#### Release Dialog.tlk Lock

With this option you can force Near Infinity to close the Dialog.tlk (and DialogF.tlk file if available) if it had been opened previously. Use it if you've made any changes to this file outside of Near Infinity and you want to make these changes visible.

#### Game Properties...

This option displays a summary of relevant game properties. It includes the path(s), available languages, the location of the game's configuration file and an overview of supported resource types.

#### Bookmarked games

This submenu allows you to bookmark games with a user-defined name. It is mainly useful if you are a modder and have installed many differently configured game installations in parallel.

##### Add current game...

This option will add the currently opened game to the bookmark list. You can specify a custom name for it. The name will also be displayed in the window title bar of Near Infinity if available.

Shortcut: Alt+Ctrl+B (Mac OS X: Command+Option+B)

##### Edit bookmarks...

Bookmark Editor

Opens a simple bookmark editor. It allows you to remove bookmarked games, change their names or move their position in the bookmark list.

#### Recently opened games

This submenu stores a list of the most recently opened games for easy access.

#### Quit

Closes Near Infinity.

Shortcut: Ctrl+Q (Mac OS X: Command+Q)
