to:
Working with BrowserBob
Click the New
button or choose File->New
to start a new project. The New Project window appears, where you have
the choice between several template projects, samples and all your imports.
In order to start from scratch,
choose the Blank Application template.
However, no matter from which template you start, your choices for changing
the application to meet your requirements are the same.
Double-click on the preview
image or select a template and click 'Ok' to start the new project
based on the selected template. |

Copy
all source files to project folder:
This option, which is enabled by default, does copy all files of the source
template into your project folder, creating a new project. This option
makes sure that the graphics of the template are not touched if you edit
them, as new copies of all templates are created in a subfolder of the
folder /projects/... in your BrowserBob installation folder.
NOTE:
if you disable this option, saving your project will only save the *.bb
file with project and graphics references under the name you specify.
All options you change in the new project will be saved in this file.
If you edit source graphics of the template however, they will change
the original graphics of the templates.
The
project now opens up in design mode:
You can start exploring the project and it's settings, and see how it has
been created. Change settings, add new objects as you like, delete objects,
exchange graphics, in order to get your intended result. Save the project
under a name of your choice.
Hint:
the settings you change will be saved in the yourproject.bb file. This
is the file you should reopen if you want to keep working on this project
next time.
Starting
with a specific template does not limit your project choices:
The templates will give you ideas, show you solutions quickly as you explore
them and allow you to change all settings, delete and add objects, like
in a blank project. They are only pre-filled with objects, graphics and
logic. You could start with a media-player template and end up with an
advanced intranet portal. No matter which template you choose, you have
all choices the program has to offer.
