Thanks for the feedback!
I will try to fix that tomorrow...

By the way, how does extracting multiple files work? When a directory is selected and Extract files
clicked there is a dialog allowing you to select files to export.

Sorry about not responding, if you need help, be sure to look at Java's API first (this is in Java, right?)

[maxim4o]

No, it is in .NET.
I think it's much better platform than Java

VPEdit 0.18 is ready - only bugfixes in this release
-Export files should work now
-Export directory should also work
-Work dir is not cleaned if the user hasn't closed all processes, associated with VPEdit

I couldn't fix the "lacking directories" bug, I couldn't replicate it

Now the files are on a server:
http://maxim4o.110mb.com/VPEdit_0_1_8.zip
http://maxim4o.110mb.com/VPEdit_0_1_8-noinstall.zip

I am adding them as attachments too.

Well to be honest, without your explanation I wouldn't have figured it out. I had tried to select multiple files but couldn't. Selecting a directory first seems a bit strange, but it does work.

If that stays as the standard, you may need to have a tool tip or a small help note about exporting multiple files.

Also you do have to click twice per file though, once to select the file, and then again to get the tick box to select.

Still crashes on quit if another process is still using maintemp. Any chance they can be opened in memory only?

I fear not, I am not sure there is a way to achieve that. I can copy the file to other directory, but I got no way to identify when it is saved, to copy it back to the work dir.

Haha, from the error type names I assumed it was Java.

Are the errors serious, or are these just being generated by people trying to break it on purpose?

Edit:

Can't you check the files' timestamps whenever the next operation that would affect stuff happens?

Some are, some are not. VPEdit still isn't very stable, and doesn't handle errors well...
For example, the renaming bug wasn't so serious, but the Export file and directory bugs were. I don't have much time to test for bugs myself...
So I release it to the community, where it can be tested well.
The good thing is that, while buggy, VPEdit can very hardly "trash" a VP file. I had such issues with other VP tools, where a VP file is "destroyed" by errors during writing, and I have tried to minimize them as much as possible in VPEdit. Just enable the backup option and your VPs will be safe.

Oooopps. I didn't check for any of that. Edited a texture map and saved ok. For PCS2 you do need to know where to save the pof - saved ok.

New crash. Importing a file that already exists.
************** Exception Text **************
System.IO.IOException: The file 'C:\VPEdit\\maintemp\1\data\models\chaos.pof' already exists.

[maxim4o]

Yeah I still haven't handled that...
I consider adding an Open in external program button on the built-in editor... for more specialized editing.
Also a Find tool for the editor - I think it's pretty needed sometimes.
Edit: I won't be here for a couple of days probably.

[maxim4o]

Ouch. I said several days... and it became several months.
Sorry for that, I will continue developing VPEdit, but I have no time just now.
I think that a complete rewrite will be needed for v0.20.
