Adding an External Editing Program for Image Files
Use the options in the Editor Selection tab of the Preferences dialog to associate one or more image
editing programs with image files in TPD4 projects. Note that you can associate multiple editor
programs with image files, but one is specified as the default image editor:
1. Select Edit > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog, and open the Editor Selection tab.
Note that Image Editors is already selected in the Editor Type drop-down menu.
2. Click the Add Editor button to access the Choose Editor dialog.
3. Click the Browse button (...) to locate and select the desired program's executable (.EXE) file.
4. Click OK in the Choose Editor dialog to add the selected program to the Editors list.
Adding an External Editing Program for Sound Files
1. Select Edit > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog, and open the Editor Selection tab.
2. Click the down arrow and select Sound Editors from the Editor Type drop-down menu.
3. Click the Add Editor button to access the Choose Editor dialog.
4. Click the Browse button (...) to locate and select the desired program's executable (.EXE) file.
5. Click OK in the Choose Editor dialog to add the selected program to the Editors list.
Changing the Default External Image or Sound Editor Program
You can change the default image or sound editor program via the Editor Selection tab of the
Preferences dialog:
1. Select Edit > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog, and open the Editor Selection tab.
2. Select the Editor Type that you want to change the default program for (Image Editors or
Sound Editors) from the drop-down menu. This selection populates the Editors table with a
listing of all editing programs that have been added. The Default column indicates which
program is the current default (TRUE = current default).
3. Double-click on any program in the list (other than the current default) to access the Choose
Editor dialog.
4. Check the Default Editor checkbox to set the selected program as the default editor.
5. Click OK to close the Choose Editor dialog. The new default editor is indicated in the Default
column of the Editors table.
Any action taken in TPDesign4 that would change the state of the image or sound file
being edited (e.g., delete, rename, undo/redo, etc.) will cause the link between
TPDesign4 and the external application to be broken. Any subsequent changes
made in the external editor will not be reflected nor applied.
The first program added to the Editors list is automatically designated as the default
image editor. If you add additional programs to the list, you have the option (in the
Choose Editor dialog) to set the default image editor.
