Specifying editor preferences

You can specify the editor applications used by the program to externally edit resource files used within a title. For each type of editable resource (images, audio, video, animations, documents, and text files), you can define an external application that edits that resource type.

When you install the program, the corresponding tool editors are automatically populated on this tab. If you install just the Publisher, you must specify your own editing applications for the different media types.

Within the program, you can edit the resource by selecting the Edit option from the object’s right-click menu or by selecting the Edit button from the object’s properties window. This action will then launch the defined editor for the resource type, with the current resource as the editor’s target. If you save changes to the resource in the external editor, the program will automatically reload the modified resource when you return focus to the title.

Until you have defined a resource editor for a particular resource type, the Edit options discussed above will be disabled.

  1. Select Lectora Preferences from the File ribbon. The Preferences window opens.

  2. Click the Editors tab.

  3. For each resource type (Images, Audio, and so on), type the full file path and name of the corresponding editor’s executable file or use the browse button to locate and select it.

  4. Click OK.
