there is also a button on the toolbar and a keyboard shortcut.
Scripts menu
In the scripts menu you can find the following additional commands:
• Import Scripts. Can be used to import useful scripts from files.
• Export Scripts. Can be used to save your scripts in a file, to be used by others. When
you select a script resource only this script is saved. When you select a group all
scripts in the group are saved. When you select the root resource (or a different type
of resource) all scripts are saved. This menu item is also available when right-clicking
