Adding a bitmap resource is very buggy
« on: July 26, 2005, 03:19:24 AM »
I'm posting the following on behalf of Brian Hays.

Adding a bitmap resource is very buggy:

My last created one was "DOLLAR", pointing to "DOLLAR.BMP".
Now when I add a bitmap it just creates this line:

Dollar BITMAP "res1.bmp"

...which is wrong because it is a duplicate, and having to go edit properties of both the name and file is extremely annoying.

When I add a second new resource. it requires an extra pair of quotes to the name if you change it from the default #1008...

I have to type quotes around the new name (shouldn't need to do this).

IMPORT:

Even though I import from dolllar.bmp, it adds it as res1.bmp for the file, and it's case-sensitive and fails to find it at all unless it's all upper in the
rc.  Other resource editors allow mixed case entries.

If the source file is in the target dir, it should just point to it; if not the copy it makes should have the same file name instead of the meaningless and duplicated "res1.bmp"
