| <H3>Creating Groups within the Bundle</H3> |
| <P ALIGN="LEFT"><B>What is a Group?</B></P> |
| <P ALIGN="LEFT">One of the fundamental problems with managing resource |
| bundles across large projects is that individual resources often got |
| lost in the vast number of translations. By creating groups within resources, |
| RBManager makes it much simpler to manage the daunting number of translations. |
| The resource bundle is like a tree with the files at the upper levels. |
| Beneath the file level is the group level, and beneath that, the individual |
| resources.</P> |
| <P ALIGN="LEFT">The only meta data that groups contain are name and comment. |
| The name is a way of identifying the group from a list of groups, and |
| the comment is a quick description about what the group contains.</P> |
| <P ALIGN="LEFT"><B>Creating a Group</B></P> |
| <P ALIGN="LEFT">Like any other editing that affects the entire resource |
| bundle, the creation of a group can not be done from the individual |
| language file level. Two ways exist to create a group. The first is |
| to select the base class at the top of the resource bundle tree, select |
| the 'Groups' tab, and click the 'Create Group' button. The second way |
| is to go to the 'Options' menu and select 'Add New Group'. The second |
| method can be used no matter what your current view is on the lower |
| right panel.</P> |
| <P ALIGN="LEFT">Once you have followed one of these two methods, the following |
| dialog should appear:</P> |
| <P ALIGN="LEFT"><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/create_group.gif" WIDTH="408" HEIGHT="109"></P> |
| <P ALIGN="LEFT">Enter a name and comment for the group, and click on 'Create'. |
| Now you have a group. You can add more groups now or at any time. You |
| can also begin to create new resources under the new group as explained |
| in the next step.</P> |
