QUICK START

You can easily edit any TLK file you wish. The major steps are as follows:

1. Click "Open a TLK file"
2. Choose the string you wish to edit in any of the browser windows, for example in the browser window of TLKEditor's main window
3. Edit its text or associated sound reference
4. You can certainly use Windows' Ctrl+Z to undo your last typing operation.
5. If you are not happy with the changes you have made on the current string, press Alt+R to undo them.
6. Perform 2.-5. as long as you wish. Note: you can also use Alt+R on strings that you have previously edited (and you didn't save your changes globally, i.e. to the TLK file)
7. If you want to undo all of your changes that you've made since your last save, press Alt+Z
8. Press Alt+S to save your changes into the TLK file. This is the point when TLKEditor updates the TLK file with your changes. These changes cannot be reverted any more. (However, a backup file will be created if the relevant checkbox is ticked.)
9. You can also use all of the functions inherited from TLKViewer (Advanced Search, Statistics, Export as text file etc.)

Important note: TLKEditor caches your TLK file you select to load, and it does not lock the TLK file. Meanwhile you can  open and edit the TLK file in other editors, but if you save your changes in TLKEditor, it will  OVERWRITE any other  changes in the TLK file that you have externally modified meanwhile. Since TLKEditor saves your changes to the TLK file only if you click Alt+S (or use a save  button), you can undo your changes at any time (by using Alt+R on individual strings and Alt+Z to undo ALL changes). When you decide to SAVE your changes, you will no longer be able to revert THESE changes. (But of course you will be able to undo any new changes you will make from this point.). IMPORTANT: do not use the Truncate option if  you are not sure what you are doing. Its effect CANNOT be reverted normally. (But a backup file will be created if you  don't uncheck the relevant  checkbox.)

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you encounter any bugs.
