To add a custom tool:

  • Enter the name of your utility in the Title field. This is the name that will be displayed on the Tools menu. Use an ampersand (&) to specify an accelerator key for the menu item. Conflicting accelerator keys are automatically resolved. If you do not specify an accelerator key, one will be chosen automatically.
  • Enter the path and the executable to be launched in the Program field.
  • Enter the working directory for your utility in the Working Dir field. If no working directory is specified, then it defaults to the current directory.
  • Enter any other parameters needed to run your utility in the Parameters field.
