New

Creates a new, empty workflow. To add a job item, drag it from the upper-right panel.

Open

Opens a Workflow file. The application supports multiple file formats:

• The files saved by Workflow XML Designer. By default, the application uses the .ocrjob file name extension for the XAML content when saving.

• Worfklow XML files, including parametrized files, where actual input and output file names are replaced with symbolic names, such as $inputfile1$, $inputfile2$, $outputfile1$, $outputfile2$.

• Worklow .xwf files saved by the OmniPage or ITest applications.

Save

Saves the recent changes made since the last Save as operation.

Save as

Saves the workflow with the specified file name and format. See the Open command for details on file formats.

Close

Closes the workflow.

Export dynamic class libraries

Exports the core assembly files of the Worklow XML Designer API. These files are free to use for Workflow XML Designer users.

When Workflow XML Desingner runs at the first time, analyzes the OmniPageCSDK.IproPlus assembly and generates the following new files:

• CSDKConverters.dll

• CSDKWorkflow.dll

Workflow XML Desingner saves these files to the following folder:

%localappdata%\Tungsten\WorkflowXMLDesigner.exe_StrongName_wov0dprpycqdxfxsefh53gp3zarchcxd

Workflow XML Designer uses these files to fill the Properties panel.

Recent files

Contains the list of recent files.

Exit

Closes Workflow XML Desingner.

Run

Runs the active job. Open the Workflow XML property to inspect the actual Workflow XML.

A red exclamation sign may appear at the top-right corner of incomplete workflow items. Move the mouse over the sign to display a tooltip with details helping to complete the workflow.

Run-time errors highlight the workflow item in blinking red. See the Run-time Errors and Start Error properties for the description of the error.

Cancel

Stops the job from running.
