Easier Data-Editor (STM93 Version)

[Luigi600]

Easier Data-Editor (STM93 Version)
I developed a Data-Editor only for STM93. He wasn't fully satisfied with the current DC editing tools, owing to either a lack of certain useful features or certain quirks that made them annoying to use.
The interest and feedback have be good from other people. So nevertheless, I decided to publish the "Easier Data-Editor". Basically, the editor has default functions. He can read and write data files and contains a Frame Viewer.
The first difference: each file has an own Frame Viewer. So it is possible to see two different characters at one screen.

The "Docking Panel" allows a customized view (I have seen that LF2 IDE has the same library). Each file and Frame Viewer has a movable "window" and this layout can be saved.


Features

• Text Folding
  
• Autocomplete
  
• Frame Viewer
  
• Shows unused/available frame ids
  
• recognises a few "errors"
  • already existing frame IDs
    
  • missing of frame start/end
    
  • missing of O/C/B/WPoint start/end
    
• Frame mirroring (with datas)
  
• Frames Reformatting
  • changes the structure of a frame (eg: pic: 1 centerx: 39 centery: 79 hit_a: 50  _ changes to _ hit_a: 50 centerx: 39 centery: 79 pic: 1)
    
• Paste & Adapt IDs
  • while pasting of frames, it finds available frame ids, changes them and changes the "next" values
    
• Jump to next/previous frame in file or "real" (next-value)
  
• 3D Itrs
  

Options (Click to View)

You have many options to control your editor:
- Amount of maximal recent files
- Saving of the layout (while closing) ("Save last Session")
- Fontstyle
- double opening of files (ATTENTION: NO SYNCHRONISATION)
- maximize the window on start
- On/Off autocomplete
- On/Off text folding (both options needs perhaps a little bit cpu)
- display menu strip (see images; a few more options in frame viewer)

It is possible to synchronise all Frame Viewer screens (Settings -> Global Settings).
