The biggie here is that the original helpers.txt is now obsolete. This was an idea from Delphy, who suggested it would make it easier for 3rd party editor authors to install their tools as editors linked to s3pe via our external editor buttons. Hopefully the individual helper config files can be put in place during installation of the editors, which makes it nicer for the user.

Yes this is a super idea, I just incorporated my own program and it runs. I only had a problem with the objkresourceeditor.exe

I had a "stopped working" error when I moved just the s3pe.exe into a folder with some packages to see how it would respond to drag and drop of packages. I guess that is what it says when it can't open some of its own program files at runtime. Where did you put your editor, physically?

What OS are you using, and if Windows7, have you tried running s3pe "as administrator"?

[McMediaMichi]

I use Win7, but without admin rights, I have the "do not install version" The data I have on the desktop in a folder. This error came suddenly, but unfortunately I no longer knows exactly how, but when he comes I will write this down.

Anything I can do to fix this? Running Windows 7.

A new error comes on when I save. S3PE does save a file, but I can't be sure if it has all the packages in it (since I am not able to read package-ese. ha!)

Please outline the steps you used to combine the packages.

[lowprofile]

Sure. New > Resource > Package, selected all my package files, clicked "reject duplicates". And that's it. Error #1 appears when it's running - and Error #2 appears when saving. They are 100% reproducible but only when working with large amounts of package files (having so many is why I wanted them combined into smaller files). If I keep the number of package files I am importing and saving to 200 files or less, these errors do not recur.

In addition to combining large numbers of packages (honestly 200 in one file is fine with me, if that's the limitation), I have been trying to use S3PE to weed out duplicates from the whole bunch of package files. This is why I wanted S3PE to import and "examine" and remove all duplicates from all of my package files at once.

[Inge Jones]

Oh I think we already had a report about problems with large numbers of packages. I don't think there was any conclusion made at that time other than to keep within the limits that worked. Maybe there is "something can be done" after lengthy research but if it's not too huge an obstacle it would be easier if you'd just put up with the limits for now.
