Advanced possibilities
Drag and drop
It is possible to drag a disk
image, a rom image or a JPEG picture file (e.g., from
Windows explorer or Winzip) and then drop it onto the main BeebEF Window
- Drag and drop disk/rom images
. If you
drag and drop a disk image or a rom image, the dropped disk/rom image is run with the selected emulator. All
emulator options apply. In addition, the
BeebEF options for dropped disk/rom images apply.
- Drag and drop JPEG picture files. If you
drag and drop a picture file with the extension '.jpg'
and the 'Picture' tab of the main BeebEF window is selected,
this picture file will automatically be copied to the directory of the selected
program and be set as the picture for this program. If the 'Box cover' tab is
selected, the picture file will automatically be copied to the directory of the
selected program and be set as the box cover image for the program.
XML data files
The BeebEF data files, located in the directory
'Data', are in XML format.
The file 'Programs.xml', which contains all
information about BBC programs, related pictures and other documents, can be
viewed as a Web page by opening it in a Web browser. This requires
a Web browser that supports XSLT and CSS. At the time of writing only IE 5+
supports these.
