New in RELOAD Editor 2.0 (Mar 18, 2014)

  • CP Editor: "Save Preview" will now copy over all files from the project folder to the preview folder
  • MD Editor: improved scrolling rate in form view
  • Added a command argument handler to the Editor and SCORM Player so that users can set system properties. This is useful for network users who are getting wrong "user.home" settings. Create a shortcut or batch file or script file pointing to the application (or edit the existing one) and append an argument to the target such as:
  • "C:\Program Files\Reload Tools\Reload Editor\ReloadEditor.exe" user.home=mydir
  • ReloadEditor.exe user.home=\\APath\shared
  • or if running the jar:
  • reload-editor.jar user.home=//appath/mydir
  • If there are spaces in the path, surround the argument with quotes: "user.home=d:\some dir"
  • Fixed - CP Editor: system slowdown could occur when adding an Item to the Manifest Tree if warning messages are written to the Status Window
  • Fixed - CP Editor: "?params" are preserved in viewer if they exist in a local Resource URL (will also affect SCORM Player)
