STBLs

Create new set

Make a new set of STBLs in the package.  Will make one STBL for every supported language.  Most useful for a package with no STBLs that needs some.  If there is already a set in the package, usually you would just want to add extra strings to that.

Delete selected set`

Deletes the active string set.  I cannot think of a useful reason to use this as Merging deletes the originals anyway, and if you just don't want STBLs at all you can delete them in s3pe.  But it's here for completeness!

Merge all sets

In a package with more than one set of STBLs this merges all strings into one STBL set.  Usually makes them easier to work with.  Caution: no unmerge option.

Import STBLs from package

Imports all STBLs it finds in package you browse to.

Import from STBL file/s

The file in question would be one ending .STBL like the ones this tool or s3pe export.  Browse to one of the set you want, then you will be asked if you would like s3se to see if there are any other exported STBLs from the same set in the same folder and import them all.  If you say no, you will get only the specific STBL file you browsed to.   If the name of the file is not in standard form, it will be imported to currently selected target language and set - after a prompt.

Export selected set to package

Puts the whole selected string set into the package of your choice.  You can either browse to existing package or name a new one to be created.

Export to STBL file/s

Exports to individual .STBL files.  Offers a small form with checkboxes for which languages from the set to export.

Import from Nraas Packer format

Reads packer format "xml" style files and understands Packer naming convention.  Can also create GUID hashes from the <KEY> nodes just like Packer.  In all other respects behaves like Import from STBL files.

Export to Nraas Packer format

Writes packer "xml" style files and uses Packer naming convention.  In all other respects behaves like Export to STBL files.
