# File Dialogs

Each time the ruleset editor is started, file Open and file Save dialogs position themselves to the directory specified by the WorkingDirectory preference in the able.preferences file. Therefore WorkingDirectory should be set to the location where you most frequently work with rulesets. If you use the file dialog to navigate to a different location, that location is remembered during the current ruleset editor session, but reverts back to the location specified in the preference file the next time you start the ruleset editor.

Each dialog filters the displayed file names to either SOURCE Ruleset Files (*.rs), SERIALIZED Ruleset Files (*.rs_ser), XML Document Files (*.rs_xml), depending on the situation.

The following file extensions are used respectively:

- `.rs` (ruleset, source)
- `.rs_ser` (ruleset, serialized)
- `.rs_xml` (ruleset, XML document)

If you manually type a file name into a dialog, make sure you use the proper extension.
