Description:

The Tools window is an aggregational window containing several BrowserBob tools, depending on the version. It can be accessed by clicking on any tool name in the View menu.

 

 

In detail, the tools window contains the following BrowserBob tools. Some of them are generic tools, which means they are project related (such as Additional files). Others are object related tools, which allow you to display and manage settings concerning the selected object. Click on any tool name for detailed information on the window and functionality.

 

Generic tools:

Additional files: manage files to be included with your application.

Content: manage content of your application (structured content navigation).

Library: Drag & Drop objects library.

States: create different user interfaces (GUIs) for your program.

 

Object related tools:

Scanning: investigate URL's and more for strings and make your app' react.

 

Separating tool windows:

Any tool window can be separated from the aggregational, tabbed tools window, by selecting it, and clicking a second time on the selected Tab-sheet (name of the tool). This will detach the tool from the window, allowing you to place the tool anywhere on your workspace. In order to include it in the tools window again, just drag it over it and release the left mouse button.

 

NOTE: each BrowserBob window will remember its position on the workspace until the next launch of BrowserBob. After closing a separated tool window, bring it back by selecting it's name from the View menu.

 

Set tool windows to defaults:

You may as well click View ->Set Tool windows to Defaults, in order to bring back all tool windows and dialogs to their default positions.
