Arguments for FPG Edit 2009 and SmartFPGEditor

Grew · March 12, 2012, 11:06:59 AM

Hi.

When whe want to open a FPG file with FPG Editor 2009 or SmartFPGEditor (context menu "open with..." on Windows), the editor runs normaly but the FPG is not loaded, we have to re-open the FPG file from the editor menu.
Do you know if there is a way to set the arguement (with the FPG file url)?

This is a known issue, but at this moment there is not yet a fix for it.

Where can we find the fpg edit 2009' sources? Maybe I can fix it myself...

No Idea where. I recommend smart fpg editor instead. That is written in visual basic and it's still maintained and occasionally updated. It has more features and is much more userfriendly.

Ok I will take a look on the sources.

I want to developp a new FPG editor in WPF (C# and XAML). Do you have some information about fpg files (how to create a FPG file, how to add an image)? How is the FPG file's structure?

If you're willing to write a tool in c# please consider using Mono. There are many developers using other OS and there aren't much tools for these platforms.

Good idea! :) Mono is portable and works on mac and linux too.

I think that it will be easy to convert xaml to gtk#. But at first I have to know how to create and manage fpg files using c#.
If it woks in wpf, I will convert it to mono.
