File > Open Zigzag Project ...

  • You can always open an existing Zigzag project with the intention of modifying it or simply examining its characteristics. Instead of using the menu File > Open Zigzag Project ..., you can also select the button on the toolbar.

  • If there is another project open at the moment of opening a second Zigzag project, and the former project's modifications have not been saved, a warning message will appear. Click on Yes or No, as appropriate in the context.



  • A window called Open Project will appear:



  • Select the icon in question and click on OK (or simply double-click on the icon). The Zigzag project in question will appear in the integrated editor of the Zigzag Generator application.

    Note. Technically speaking, a Zigzag project is a directory that minimally contains a file called seg.zzm. This file contains information about the reading text and its various parameters (ex.: font, format, matrix). A Zigzag project can also contain image files, those images accompanying the text or list of words. The images, in bmp, gif or jpg format, can be found in a sub-directory of the Zigzag project called img. A Zigzag project can also contain a file called qus.zzm. This file has the questions linked to the text (i.e. multiple choice, true or false).


    Once generated, a Zigzag project acts as a reading test used through the Zigzag Test application. The results gathered from the readers from the Zigzag Test application are also part of the Zigzag project; they can be found in a sub-directory of the Zigzag project called tests.
