Resource Manager
Overview
TPDesign4 manages all image and sound on a project level via the Resource Manager. The Resource Manager
provides the ability to import image and sound files so that they can be applied to various panel elements
(Pages, Popup Pages and Buttons) in the active Project.
Once a image or sound file has been added to the Resource Manager, it is available to be applied to any panel
element, and is available to share among any number of elements.
Resource Manager dialog
Select Panel > Resource Manager (or click the toolbar button) to open the Resource Manager dialog
(FIG. 57).
This dialog contains features and options that allow you to easily organize and manage Images, Slots and
Sounds for your project, organized into four tabs:
Images: This tab provides a convenient way to import and preview all image files to be used in your
project. TPD4 supports most popular image formats. See Resource Manager dialog - Images tab
on page 63.
Dynamic Images: This tab allows you to manage images that exist on an HTTP server or FTP
server, external to the panel. Dynamic images can be refreshed at specified regular intervals or via
the Panel > Refresh Dynamic Images option. See Resource Manager dialog - Dynamic Images
tab on page 64.
All Image and Sound files must be imported into the Resource Manager before they
can be used in the Project.
