Resource Editor Functions

  • Opening a file.  Files can be opened for editing from the Server Queue Panel by right clicking on a file and choosing "Edit as Text" from the context menu.

    Each open file will have its own tab in the Resource editor under the main set of panel tabs.

  • Creating a New Sequence File.  A new sequence file can be created by clicking the "File" menu, moving the mouse over "New," and selecting "sequence" at the bottom of the list.

    Choosing another file type from the File->New menu will open an editor for that particular file type.

  • Closing a File.  Files can be closed by right clicking on the tab for that file, and choosing "Close" on the context menu.

  • Saving a file.  Files can be saved by choosing "Save" from the File menu. Users will also be asked if they want to save when closing an unsaved file.

    Files with an asterisk * next to them have not been saved since changes have been made.

  • Editing a file.  The editor is a simple, minimally-featured text file editor. Users can click at any location in the file to edit at that point.

    • Text can be selected with the mouse and deleted using the Backspace or Delete keys

    • Standard editing key combinations apply, such as Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-X to cut, and Ctrl-V to paste.

    • There is no undo, so edit carefully. Users can revert to previously saved versions of files by closing the file and choosing "No" when asked to save.
