Petr Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 It seems that there is not one tool for all resource editing tasks that are necessary to do for localizing and /or modifiying the resources in executable files.Does anybody know about any good overview of resource editors?I know about these:Restorator 2006 Resource EditorDownload 30 day Trial VersionThere are 2 types of licenses available: * Regular Version: 60 Euros (approx.

Meaby it was just my fault, but I don't use it anymore for that reason.Exescope is very useful since it edits NE files as well.Restorator is good for me since it allows do do large copy paste operations. However the interface feels not very intuitive to me.I can say Restorator is since 2005 version more useful than ResHacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidenk Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I have found MiTeC Delphi Form Editor 5.3 to be most usefull for editing resources of some delphi apps.http://www.mitec.cz/delphitools.htm#DFMEditVBReformer allows to do a few things with VB executables.http://www.decompiler-vb.tk/ResEd is a very good resource editor for resource files (not directly for exe)http://www.radasm.com/projects/ResEd.zipMost of what that do exist is listed here I thinkhttp://programmerstools.org/taxonomy/term/50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
