The Resource and Icon Editor (RiEditor pronounced Ree-Editor) gives two powerful tools to a developer:

1. The developer can edit the FileVersionInfo and StringVersionInfo of their projector. This includes:

  • FileVersionInfo
    • numerical FileVersion
    • numerical ProductVersion
  • StringVersionInfo
    • CompanyName
    • ProductName
    • ProductVersion
    • InternalName
    • LegalCopyright
    • LegalTrademarks
    • OriginalFilename
    • FileDescription
    • FileVersion


2. The developer can add a custom icon to the resource. This has been possible since Director 10 (MX 2004), but in Director 11 developers have reported that the icons do not display properly. This feature fixes all icon issues.

Testing has been done on Director 10 (MX 2004) and Director 11 projectors up to Director 11 Hotfix 3. It should work for older versions of Director Projectors too, but has not been tested.

The package can be downloaded here: RiEditor (2MB)

Icon Resource - old version

Director 11 has a nasty bug when publishing a projector with a custom icon. The icon is corrupted. Here's a link to see what happens: [1] as well, the Vista version of the icon is not a compressed PNG as per the Windows specifications; see here for the best explanation I have found: [2]

The Icon Resource fixes this issue. It can be downloaded from here: Media:iconResource.zip
