About the Action Properties Editor

The Action Properties Editor in Paquet Builder allows you to configure the properties of a selected custom action. This editor provides tools to adjust each property value and ensure the custom action behaves as desired.

You can modify properties directly in the Value field. Press Enter to save the modified value. Once all changes are made, click OK to save and exit, or Cancel to discard changes.

Features of the Action Properties Editor

Enhanced Value Editing

  • Ellipses Button (…): Clicking this button opens an advanced property editor.
  • Insert Special Items: The editor supports inserting:
  • Variables
  • Resource Strings
  • References to unpacked files
  • The /$ symbol for carriage-return-line-feed (CRLF).

Example: To insert a new line between "Line 1" and "Line 2," use Line1/$Line2.

Property Structure

  1. Property Names: Listed in the first column, some properties may have expandable sub-properties, indicated by a + sign. Expand or collapse these using the + and - buttons or keyboard keys.

Editing Property Values

  • Manual Input: Type directly into the value field.
