picture and icones

Question

Hi, 
 II have few images and icons with text in my program. The images are specify in my .rc files. How I can't find how to change the picture with Passolo 2016 in a rc and resx file. I know I can modify the picture in a .CHM file.

Like in a compiled HTML file (.CHM) binary program files (.DLL, .EXE) may contain pictures stored as BMP, PNG, etc. in the resource block. These pictures can be extracted by SDL Passolo and changed in the localization process. 
 A .RC file usually contains no picture, just references to external files with pictures. So the localization process is outside Passolo and will be done by exchanging the files for your build process. 
 In RESX files you can store pictures like 
 
 When the corresponding option is correctly set, Passolo will extract the picture like it does it from binary files.

Yes, I received the file and tried to analyze the case, but I&rsquo;m currently not really sure what you want to achieve. 
 The RC file contains some an #include block with file names. These file names are treated as any other translatable string and if the paths or file names will change in your environment for the translated software you have to adapt the entries. But just once for each language as I don&rsquo;t assume that this will change with every release. 
 
 In addition the RC file contains references to some PNG and bitmaps. You didn&rsquo;t sent them to me, so they will not be imported and Passolo is reporting this in the message window. If the files are available Passolo will import them correctly and you can handle them as any other binary resource. I simulated this with two sample files. When imported you can change the bitmaps but not the PNG as we don&rsquo;t have in internal PNG editor (due to license restrictions). 
 
 To avoid that you need to change the image file names you can organize the folder structure in away where each RC file has its dedicated language folder with a RES subfolder for images. 
 
 I hope this is what you are looking for.
