====== Opening an existing project ======

  * Go to the file menu of the overview dialog.
  * Open a project. This can also be done by pressing Ctrl-O.
  * Select a project file, which has the syntax //'projectname.spr'//. Since all parameters are in this file the project will be immediately ready for use.
  * If the path of the photographs has changed, the project will not be able to locate them. This problem can be resolved by opening the project dialog and re-locating the path of the photographs using the 'Find Path Photos...' button.
  * Since the camera parameters for a project are also saved in the project file //'projectname.spr'//, it is possible that the camera mentioned in the project is also found in the 'Strabo Camera List'. This is done by comparing the camera descriptions.
  * If the descriptions are identical:
    * The parameters are identical: the camera is used.
    * the parameters are different: If the camera parameters saved in the project file are not the same as these in the 'Strabo Camera List', a warning dialog will appear. Two options are possible:

{{camera_camparison.gif?495x325&nolink}}\\ \\
