Packed Files (*.pcd or *.pce)

Two backup file formats are available:

Both types create a backup of your project in compressed format.

  1. Save as > File...
  2. Select backup file format

    Two file formats are available:

    • Packed project export file (*.pce)

      Only the project data are compressed and saved, similar to the export of a project. Two character-encoding formats are available:

      • Unicode UTF-16 format (default). This is the recommended format with correct representation of all Unicode characters. This format can only be imported with Control FPWIN Pro version 5.31 or higher.

      • Multibyte (Multi-Byte Character Set, MBCS) format. This format can be imported with all earlier versions of Control FPWIN Pro.

    • Packed database files (*.pcd)

      The entire database of the project is compressed and saved.

  3. Select path
  4. Enter file name
  5. Save

The current project is compressed in the format selected and saved in the indicated folder.

NOTE

  • The project data is packed while the backup is created.

  • Backups (*.pcd or *.pce files) can only be reopened with Project > New > From file.
