The main drawer¶

The left drawer contains the main operations a user typically performs outside of active surveying: managing projects, importing/exporting data, settings, help and about information.

Projects¶

Opens the project view, where you can:

browse the local folders to open an existing project
create a new project, entering a name or accepting the default one based on the current timestamp
pick one of the most recently used projects from a list.

New projects are created inside the application’s folder structure.

SMASH projects inherit the format from its predecessor, Geopaparazzi, hence the gpap file extension.

Import¶

See Import.

Export¶

See Export.

Settings¶

See Settings.

Online Help¶

Opens the online SMASH documentation in the browser (requires an internet connection).

About¶

Shows information about the app, including version and license.

Exit¶

Closes the application, disabling all background processes and saving the current state. This is an important action to remember, as it ensures that all data is properly saved and no background tasks are left running.
