12.2 Decompiling a project
The
Decompile …
tool is used to create a project
*.epj
file from an
*.eob
file. The
*.eob
file may be from a compiled project
or from an upload. Use this tool to Decompile an *.eob file. All the windows and their objects are converted back into a
project file. Because window and object names are not retained during the compile process, they are assigned default
names in the derived project. Window Shapes and Bitmaps are saved to Library folders with the project file name as a prefix
along with their associated library extension (slb, blb). Groups from the group libraries are saved as individual components
(drawing elements, shapes, bitmaps and objects) and are not recreated.
Note:
Projects created with any version of EasyBuilder before version 1.6.2 cannot be decompiled. Projects uploaded
from units with BootROM versions prior to V1.6, cannot be decompiled. Upgrading the BootROM in an older unit does
not make an upload compatible.
It is recommended that you retain all project information in an archive for future changes. See the section on compressing
projects above.
Enter the
EOB file name
or click the
Browse…
button to select the *.eob file for decompile. The *.eob file can be from an
existing project or upload. Browse for the project to decompile. Once an *.eob file is selected, a default name is inserted into
the
EPJ file name
field. If this is not acceptable, press the
Browse…
button and select an appropriate file name for the
decompiled project.
Press the
Decompile
button to begin the decompile process. As the project is decompiled, the text box displays progress
and statistics about the project.
Notes:
New libraries containing all of the Shapes and Bitmaps used in the project are created with the project name as
the prefix and a number as the suffix. Groups are decompiled as ungrouped objects.
Windows do not retain their Names. Parts do not retain their descriptions.
Press the
Stop
button to stop the Decompile at any time.
Use the
Close
button to exit the Decompiling dialog.
