Hi, this is NOT a DBPro program, it's a VisualBasic tool to help you to add all media into you DBPro Project at once.

Screenshot:


Download Setup:
http://www.vbmyadmin.com/taylor/MECHWAR/DBProAddMedia.exe (2.64 MB)

Choose your "MEDIA" folder and click on "Scan media". You can sort by File/Size/Extension and check/uncheck files you want. The generated list can be added with copy-paste directly into your DBPro Project file (.dbpro)!


This post started in WIP forum - but the main feature is complete, so it CAN save your time... Enjoy!

Not bad, It's a great tide over until my project is finished. I'm working on a DBPro IDE made in DBPro should hit the WIP forums in a week or two depending on my spare time.

P.S. It's going to be open source as to be a community project.

That's cool I like using the original DBPro IDE, but for packing with many media files I need this quick solution. If someone else will use this tool, please let me know how to improve it.

Well, this is simple. Let me explain with an example:

I make a project and use media files inside the code. To package the complete project in one (exe) file, you have to add every single media file into your project. This can be done with the DBPro IDE.

Advantages of DBProAddMedia:
- It takes only one step for many bitmaps/models/etc. to add all of them into the project instead of adding them one by one.
- You don't need to know what media files you have updated/added during development. Just make a media folder with all files that are needed. Then scan this media folder with DBProAddMedia and generate a list with all types of media files at once.

I hope this shows how DBProAddMedia saves your time and how you easy update you existing media lists.
