The Tools tab includes several programs to help you get your work done in the most productive ways possible. You can also add your own favorite tools to this window, making it quick and easy to start other programs without having to leave RoboHELP.
The RoboHELP tools include:
Graphics Locator®: Graphics Locator is a handy tool for locating and adding images to your projects. Use it to scan drives and folders, locate files, view thumbnail images on screen, and copy files from one drive/folder to another.
Multi-File Find and Replace: Multi-File Find and Replace is a powerful tool for quickly searching multiple topics and removing or replacing text. This tool is dual purpose — you can use it to search topic content as well as HTML tags and their related syntax.
Find HTML Help Components: Find HTML Help Components is a tool that searches for Microsoft HTML Help system files and identifies them on screen. It can find dynamic link libraries (.DLL), executable programs (.EXE), and ActiveX controls (.OCX) that serve as components. This tool is helpful if you need to locate, move, delete, or obtain more information about an individual system file.
If you have RoboHELP Office, the following tools are also included:
ReSize®: ReSize is a handy tool for resizing images and converting files into different image formats. Use it to resize and scale images while maintaining the proportions and much of the quality of the original image. You can even resize image maps without losing the hotspots. ReSize supports a variety of image file formats including .GIF, .JPEG, .BMP, and .SHG graphics. It supports color depth conversions for 24-bit (16 million), 256-color, and 16-bit color so your images use the optimal color values and hues across Windows platforms and on any kind of monitor.
BugHunter® for HTML Help: BugHunter is a time-saving tool for testing context-sensitive help topics in your Microsoft HTML Help project. You open the application that uses the Help you want to test and BugHunter provides instant feedback about the topic. For example, it reports the name of the Help project, Help topic and map number called from the application.
Software Video Camera®: This tool allows you to capture on-screen actions, add narration, and generate multimedia video files that you can include in your Help systems.
HTML Help Registration: HTML Help Registration is a tool that enables you to register, unregister, and replace compiled Microsoft HTML Help files (.CHM).
Find HTML Help Files: The Find HTML Help Files tool searches your system for .CHM files and identifies them on screen. This tool is useful if you need to locate, move, delete or obtain more information about .CHM files.
HTML Help Studio®: HTML Help Studio provides an easy way to extract ("decompile") source files from a compiled Microsoft HTML Help file (.CHM). This tool is especially useful if you have a .CHM file, but no longer have the source files used to create it. By decompiling the .CHM file, you can easily extract the source files including HTML topics, images, style sheets, and other project files.
