Customizing List Files

The List Manager is a utility for maintaining the names, nouns, verbs that come with Worgan. You can also adjust the defaults lists found under the World building utilities.

To access the List Manager go to Utilities|List Manager from the main notebook screen.

Features

Open: opens a text file in which you can add unique words (i.e. you can add your own nouns to the noun.use file that Worgan uses in Brainstorm).

Save: will save a modified file. (NOTE: be careful, by messing up a list, you destroy some of Worgan's usefulness).

Add: any text on the edit-control will be added to the list-box (not saved to the file; you have to click Save to modify the file).

Import...: Clicking this button allows the user to select a text file, the contents of which will be inserted into the opened data file already under use. (i.e. you have your own list of surnames and you want to add it to my list, you would use this function because it is faster than doing it manually.) Duplicate strings will be ignored.

WARNING: Importing can take a very LONG TIME and occasionally causes crashes with extremely large files.

Double-click or right-click on the list to delete a word.
