4.2. GUI Menu and Tool Bars

This section describes the commands available in the GUI menus and tool bar.

4.2.1. File Menu

The File menu provides standard file management options, and in addition allows you to import and export libraries and manage your object files with the revision control system.

Table 4.2. File Menu

File Menu Entry Explanation
New Object File Opens a "file" dialog that lets you name your new object file. Object file names end with ".fwb". In general, you should create a new directory for your object files.
Open... Opens a standard "file" dialog that lets you select an existing file. The file dialog, by default, only looks for files that end in ".fwb".
Open Recent Contains a submenu listing recently opened object files.
Save Saves the current file.
Save As... Opens a "file" dialog that lets you save the object file under a new name.
Close Closes the current object file, but does not exit the program.
Properties Opens a dialog indicating properties of the current file, including revision control information (if applicable.) (Program preferences are in the Edit menu.)
Add File to RCS This menu item adds the object file to reversion control. See Section 7.7 for a detailed explanation.
Commit Commits current changes to RCS. (This option is grayed out if the file has not already been added to RCS.) See Section 7.7 for a detailed explanation.
Discard Discards current changes. (This option is grayed out if the file has not already been added to RCS.) See Section 7.7 for a detailed explanation.
Import Firewall Allows you to import an existing firewall policy into Firewall Builder. See Section 6.3 for a detailed explanation.
Import Library Lets you import an Object Library. (See Export Library.)
Export Library Brings up a dialog that lets you select which Object Library you wish to export to a ".fwl" file. Once a library is exported, you can import it into another instantiation of Firewall Builder. This is particularly useful in Enterprise settings that have multiple Firewall Builder workstations and administrators.
Print Lets you print your policy.
Exit Closes Firewall Builder.
