Import Resources

Single Resource       Multiple Resources       Internet Shortcuts

 

From the "Views - CmapTools" window:

To import a single resource, select File then Add Resource(s)...


Using the "Add Resources" window, you can manually navigate through folders to add resources for use in Cmaps. To locate resources from the "My Cmaps" or "Places", left-click the corresponding button at the top of the window. When the "Add Resources" window is first opened, the contents on the desktop are shown. To return to the desktop view, you may left-click the "Desktop" button at any time. Once you have located a resource you would like to add to a Cmap in the future, highlight it and left-click the Add button.


After left-clicking Add, the "Edit Resource Properties" window appears. Left-clicking the checkbox in this window allows you create a resource shortcut, rather than copying the actual resource, to the "My Cmaps" folder. Left-click OK when you are finished editing the resource's properties.


The added resource will now be listed in the "Views - CmapTools" window.





From the "Add Resources" window:

To add multiple resources at the same time, left-click the plus sign next to Show Resource List. The "Add Resources" window will expand to indicate that more than one resource can now be added to the resource list. Hold down the Ctrl key while left-clicking the title of each resource. Left-click the Add to List button when you have selected the resources you would like to add from the current directory.


Using the left mouse button to double-click the boxes under the Description and Keywords headings, you may edit the resource properties for more than one resource. To remove a resource from the list, left-click Remove. To make changes to the properties of an individual resource, highlight the resource and left-click the Edit... button. The "Edit Resource Properties" window will open, and any changes will appear in the "Add Resources" window after left-clicking OK. From the "Add Resources" window, left-click Add All to add resources you would like to use in future Cmaps.


The added resources will now be listed in the "Views - CmapTools" window.





From the "Views - Cmaptools" window:

You can import internet shortcuts to "My Cmaps" or "Places" that you have permission to store files on. To create an internet shortcut link, begin by selecting Add Web Page... from the File menu.


The "Add Web Page" window will appear where you can add information to an internet shortcut. Left-click OK to add the web page.


From the "Views - CmapTools" window:

Now an internet shortcut icon will appear in the folder where you saved it.
