(10) New program: TPD Toolset for TreePad .tpd files - freeware


Description: the new TreePad .tpd file format (as referred to above) has many advantages, such as a binary file format, improved security, reliability, speed, and it enables images, articles, nodes, icons, all to be stored in one single file.
To some advanced users, this significant leap forward represented a small disadvantage, however: they could no longer perform a global search-replace inside the .tpd file (using a standard text editor), as it used to be possible to do with the old ASCII based .hjt file format.
So, the TPD Toolset has been created to accommodate those advanced users, who are accustomed to doing occasional global search/replace actions on their ASCII .hjt files!
The TPD Toolset, a freeware utility, enables one [1] to extract (export) all the articles/nodes from the binary .tpd file to an ASCII .hjt file, and then, once the global search/replace actions, in a standard text editor, have been done onto the extracted .hjt file, [2] the TPD Toolset allows one to import that changed .hjt file again back into the binary .tpd file.
We are thus very pleased to release the TPD Toolset, as it enables the much improved .tpd file format to be fully experienced and enjoyed by all TreePad users, without the risk that anyone would miss the old and less advanced .hjt format!
