Looking at the MCL-Designer V4 Work Area > The Project Modules Area

The "Resources" module includes all the resources that can be used in the project.

The module is divided into several sections, each section including a type of resource - "Splash", "App Icons","Images", "Sound", "Videos" and "Others".

It contains some default image resources (a splash screen image and 3 application icon images) which you can replace, if necessary.

See How to Work with Resources.

"Resources" Module Details

This is a general view of the "Resources" module with its default sections.

	Splash	The "Splash" is only available if you have defined a splash screen for the current project in the "Splash Screen" tab of the project's properties. It includes the splash screen (the image that is displayed after the device's application icon is clicked and before the application is launched).
	App Icons	The "App Icons" section displays the default project icons provided by MCL-Designer V4 to be used throughout the project. You can ONLY have these 3 image resolutions (48X48, 128X128, 512X512) as project icons. See Application Info.
	Images	This section contains the images that are added to the project. Use ".jpeg", ".jpg" and/or "*.png" files for project development.
	Sound	This section includes added sounds. Use "*.wav" files for project development.
	Videos	The "Videos" section contains videos to be included/displayed by the "Video Player" control. You can import "3GP", "mp4", "mkv", "mpegts", "webm" and/or "avi" files for project development.
	Others	The "Others" section groups all the non-image/non-sound resources.

Available Right-click Menus

Use the right-click menu to access options that are related to the selected section/resource.

•If you right-click a section, you access the following option(s):

This option allows you to add any type of resource, regardless of the section you right-click - MCL-Designer will identify the type of the newly added resource and place it in the appropriate section. See To Add a Resource to the "Resources" Module.

The "Add Resource" option is also available if you right-click an empty space in the "Resources" module or the module's title.

•If you right-click an added resource, you access the following menu:

	Add Resource	Click this to add any type of resource, regardless of the section you right-click - MCL-Designer will identify the newly added resource's type and place it in the appropriate section. See To Add a Resource to the "Resources" Module.
	Edit Resource	Click this option if you want to edit the selected resource - it opens your default PC editor. If you do NOT have a default compatible editor, you can choose which application to use in the system window to open/edit the selected resource.
	Transform	This option is ONLY active for image resources. Use this option to rotate (90o, 180o or 270o) or flip (horizontal or vertically) the selected image file.
	Duplicate Resource	Click it to duplicate the selected resource. The result is a duplicate resource with the same name as the original resource with an incremented number.
	Rename Resource	Use it to rename the selected resource: a. Click the "Rename Resource" option in the selected resource's right-click menu. b. Once the resource's name is set to "edit mode", enter the new name. c. Click <ENTER> in your PC keyboard. d. Click in the confirmation window.
	Delete Resource	This option removes the selected resource from your current project.
	Search 'xxx'	Click this option to open a search window and search the selected text string occurrences within the project. See Detail of Search.

These right-click menu options are NOT available in the "Splash" section.

The only way to edit the splash screen is in the "Project Properties" - "Splash Screen" tab. See Splash Screen.

The images available in the "App Icons" section include project default images. We recommend you edit them in the "Project Properties" - "Application Info" tab.

See Application Info.
