Whenever the file references on the File References tab are changed the content of the corresponding files have to be reloaded. Whenever this is necessary the Load Files menu is colored red to indicate this. If QuickRev is started in diff mode (--diff) this menu can be used always to reload the compared files and the local working copies.
All file menu items and file tab titles will show their state in a different color. Use the tool tips (mouse over) to display the different meanings of the colors.

Via the sub menu items of the Show menu you can show files by individual topics. The number of files which will be shown is added in brackets behind every menu item, files which are shown already are not taken into account.
