ClassCracker Commands can be executed from the Menu Bar or from the Tool Bar.
The Tool Bar buttons are shown below:
The menu commands are listed below:
Saves the entire converted file which appears in the View Pane. The file is saved as a simple ASCII text file with the appropriate filename extension (java, jasm, or jdump). Text indentation is preserved but not the font. The Save As dialog box comes up with a suggested filename and extension, but these can be overridden.
This command converts and saves multiple class files (see Batch Mode). This menu item and Tool Bar button become active when more than one files are selected in the class file list (see File Tab). The converted files are saved in a destination directory.
The destination directory is either the same directory where the class files are located or in a subdirectory named "converted" which is automatically created. The destination directory is set by the Same as Source and 'converted' subDir. options in the Conversion Settings dialog box.
The converted files have a filename extension which depends on the selected mode (java, jasm or jdump). Any previously converted files are overwritten.
Copies the selected text in the View Pane to the system clipboard.
Copies the entire text in the View Pane to the system clipboard.
Brings up the Printer Settings dialog box.
Sends the text in the View Pane to a printer. If a portion of text in the View Pane is selected (eg. by dragging the mouse over it) then a dialog box gives the option to print all the text or only the selected text. The Print dialog box allows printer selection and other associated selections.
Updates the directory tree. Removable media (floppy disks, zip disks, CD-ROMs, etc) are only displayed in the directory tree if they are already loaded when ClassCracker starts up. If these media are changed, removed or added while ClassCracker is already running, the directory tree can be updated with this command.( Note: on Windows systems, ClassCracker does not search floppy disk drives - A & B.)
Exits ClassCracker. If the Options | Save Settings on Exit check box is set, the settings from the current ClassCracker session are saved to the "ClassCracker.properties" file.
Allows text in the View Pane to be searched. Brings up a dialog box where the search text can be specified. When the end of the text is reached, the search continues from the start.
