Tool Types specify parameters used by a program. Tool Types are usually in the form of KEYWORD = argument. Case differences do not matter when entering the information. Do not use any spaces around the equals sign in a Tool Type entry.
Any changes you make to a program's Tool Types take effect the next time you run the program. Tool Types are found in an icon's Information window.
When the window appears, you can add, delete, or change Tool Types in the Tool Types field.
For convenience, Workbench programs usually have all their possible Tool Types already entered. The Tool Types that are optional or do not set default values are disabled or commented. Commented Tool Types are enclosed in parentheses and are ignored when the icon is opened.
All icon program provide the DONOTWAIT Tool Type. Normally the Workbench waits for one program to finish before it opens the next. The DONOTWAIT option overrides this delay, which can cause unwanted requesters after booting. DONOTWAIT does not take an argument.
Uncomment or make available Tool Types by removing the parentheses. Where there are angle-bracketed parameters in the Tool Type, the parameter and brackets must be replaced with an appropriate value or option.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each additional Tool Type you want to add.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each Tool Type you wish to delete.
Commenting out Tool Types that you do not currently need rather than deleting them makes recalling them easier the next time you need them. |
An AppIcons is an icon that is created by an application program. The function of these icons is determined by the application. For specific information on how a particular AppIcon works, read the documentation that came with the application that uses it.
