To create a new document in Latexian, select the "New" command from the "File" menu. A new document will appear with
a minimal LaTeX template to begin working from.
Opening an Existing Document
To open an existing document in Latexian, select the "Open..." command from the "File" menu. A browser will appear
that allows you to select the document that you would like to open.
Opening a Document with "Open Quickly"
"Open Quickly" allows you to quickly find files with a search by file name. Simply type the name of the file you are looking for. For example, to find a file named "myarticle.tex", just start typing "myarticle.tex". As you type the file name, the results will automatically update to show matching files. If you have the "Limit search to open files and projects" checkbox selected, then results will only include files that are currently open in Latexian. Uncheck this box to search the entire disk. If there are multiple files with the same name, then the "In Folders" box will have one entry corresponding to each file.
You can optionally use an asterisk (*) as a wild card character. The example screenshot shows a search for "*.tex", which returns all files that have names ending with ".tex".
To save a document, select "Save" from the "File" menu in Latexian. If your document is untitled, you will be prompted to specify a file name and location. In the save panel, you can also specify a text encoding to use for the document. See
Text Encodings for more information.
In Mac OS X Lion,
Autosave obviates the need for saving documents (other than untitled documents).
