.bmx files

Tool&Task uses for the Poor man's Browser (under development in version 2.8.5) extendet .bmp files. The original file is unchanged but strings are appendet: (short values are arranged in high byte, low byte order

byte 0 - 1 total length (n) of the link information
byte 2 - 3 x coordinate of upper left pixel of the click area for this link
byte 4 - 5 y coordinate of upper left pixel of the click area for this link
byte 6 - 7 x coordinate of lower right pixel of the click area for this link
byte 8 - 9 y coordinate of lower right pixel of the click area for this link
... n-1 URL to call

 

Since the length of the .bmp file in front of the extendet information is included in the .bmp header, a grafik program might not display a .bmx file. Nevertheless, if you want the .bmp part of the file, use the menue audio/grafic utilities and check a .BMP file When you select a .bmx file, the program offers to rewrite the .bmp part. The Tool&Task Image Viewer (eye icon from the toolbar) will directly open a .bmx file.
