Importing resource files

If you have made changes directly in resource files outside of this product, you can import them into a selected library by selecting that library and proceeding with the import. When you import a directory, you can import all of supported files into a specific open library as well. You can only import *.txt files.

Each imported file must contain only one entry per line, and if the contents are structured as:

• A list words or phrases (one per line). The file is imported as a term list for a type dictionary, where the type dictionary takes the name of the file minus the extension.
• A list of entries such as term1 <TAB> term2, then it is imported as a list of synonyms, where term1 is the set of the underlying term and term2 is the target term.

To import a single resource file

1. From the menus, choose Resources > Import Files > Import Single File. The Import File dialog box opens.
2. Select the file you want to import and click Import. The file contents are transformed into an internal format and added to your library.

To import all files in a directory

1. From the menus, choose Resources > Import Files > Import Entire Directory. The Import Directory dialog box opens.
2. Select the library in which you want all of the resource files imported from the Import list. If you select the Default option, a new library will be created using the name of the directory as its name.
3. Select the directory from which to import the files. Subdirectories will not be read.
4. Click Import. The dialog box closes and the content from those imported resource files now appears in the editor in the form of dictionaries and advanced resource files.
