# Chapter 1. The menubar

Within the menubar you may do basic tasks like open/close files. In this section we cover briefly the the different entries. The menus have mnemonics e.g. press ALT and F key in order to open File menu.

## File

The file menu lets you do maintenance related to files or quit application. Note there was a simple XML file format introduced in 0.7.x to speed up things. The advanced file format needs optimization work to fulfill. The file format can be modified by configuration file located in your home directory $(HOME)/.gsequencer/ags.conf. The simple file interface is defaulted and can be altered by section generic and simple-file key set to false.
