Mass RES Creator

Mass RES Creator is a very simple application that enables you to batch compile .RES files. By that I mean you can specify whole directories and Mass RES Creator will compile the whole of that folder's contents into a RES file.

Batch RES compiling is a task that every programmer will find themselves needing to do at some point, but the standard RES compilers that come with most of today's software development packages simply don't allow for multiple file/folder selections.

With Mass RES Creator you can...

• Compile whole folders (and all of their sub folders) into a single RES file.
• Specify a list of files and folders that you do not want to include when performing a batch compile (see screen-shot below).

It gets better...

Mass RES Creator will automatically include a text file called 'contents' in all of your RES files. This text file contains an index of every file inside the RES file, and what their relative path was before the compile. Here's an example of what it looks like:

103:cstcpctl.ocx
124:login-info.txt
130:Root\Executables\PortUsage.exe
133:DLL-Files\wpTypes.dll
134:DLL-Files\wpEngine.dll

This is a very useful feature especially if you are going to be extracting the files again at a later stage. Creating your own setup applications couldn't be easier; Mass RES Creator will literally cut hours off of your production time.

For use with the old VB6-style RES files.
For the new VB.NET ResX files and C#.NET ResX files, try our Mass ResX Creator.
