qxcompat has been specially created for the compatibility reasons. It can convert the whole project at a time or separate files from a specific project to the corresponding format, so that it can be successfully compiled and executed.
Syntax
qxcompat --input-file <file_name> --output <output>
or
qxcompat <file_name>
where:
|
--input-file <file_name> |
a file with one of the following extensions: .4ad, .4fd, .4fm, .4pw, .4sm, .4st, .4tb, .4tm |
|
--output <output> |
a directory (for projects), a form file, etc. |
Usage and examples
Here you can see to what formats source files are converted:
project: .4pw → is included into .fglproject
action defaults: .4ad → .ad2
graphical form: .4fd → .fm2, .4fm → .fm2
start menu: .4sm → .sm2
styles: .4st → .qxtheme
toolbar: .4tb → .tb2
top menu: .4tm → .tm2
Example 1.
qxcompat --input-file project_name.4pw --output output_folder_name
where:
|
project_name.4pw |
a project file with the following content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <Workspace defaultApplication="000000001" version="1.0"> <Group label="Source"> <Application id="000000001" label="test_conversion"> <File filePath="input_toolbar.4tb"/> <File filePath="input_topmenu.4tm"/> <File filePath="input_sourcefile.4gl"/> <File filePath="input_formfile.per"/> </Application> </Group> </Workspace> |
|
output_folder_name |
a folder where output should be located |
As a result of the project_name.4pw project file conversion, the new Lycia project will be created in the directory specified as output. Apart from the default Lycia project content, the project folder output_folder_name will contain all the files listed in project_name.4pw, converted where a file format requires, as they are listed below:
input_toolbar.4tb → input_toolbar.tb2
input_topmenu.4tm → input_topmenu.tm2
input_formfile.per
input_sourcefile.4gl
Example 2.
qxcompat file_name.4tm
If the only argument follows qxcompat, it is regarded as input-file. This conversion will take place (the output file will be saved in the same direction):
file_name.4tm → file_name.tm2
