I Hacked Resource Hacker For Easier .bmp replacing

[markm7]

I still prefer Resource Hacker to StyleBuilder But I hated the small window for searching for .bmp files, so I hacked into the file to make it easier to scroll through the bmp's.

For those who have used or still use Res Hack you will appreciate this.

so are you gonna post your modified .exe? or how we can modify it ourselves?? :)

Hehe

I love the irony :)

Any app that can be used to hack itself is a friend of mine.

[pulp]

good idea, thanks :)

I sent an e-mail to Angus Johnson, the creator of Resource Hacker. I told him how so many were using his programm to edit .msstyles He quickly replied back with a "Thumbs up". His actual words were,

"Thanks for your suggetion, I can see how that would be an improvement.

Angus "

So the next version may include this improvement :)
