File import*

This dialog allows you to select the data format of a file you want to import. The dialog is opened by using the "File/Import" submenu commands.

Files in specific formats can be imported by executing one of the Tiny Hexer Scripts in the <application directory>\scripts\import directory. You can place your own import scripts here to add import capabilities for different file formats to Tiny Hexer. These scripts need a special format¹ to be recognized by this dialog.

1. Select a format: Choose one of the data formats available for import
2. Import: Start data import
3. Cancel: Close the dialog without importing the selected file
4. Help: Show this help topic

1) Import script file format:

The directives TITLE (= description of the import script) and OPT2 (= default file extensions of files that should be imported using the script) are used to tell this dialog which settings to use.

When the import dialog is shown it checks whether the file extension of the file to be imported is registered by one of the import scripts. If yes, this script is automatically selected in the "Select a format" list.

Additionally import scripts must contain the directive line OPTION TARGET, IMPORT.
