I suffer from the same "lack of time problem" so I understand that you can't provide documentation, I thing you already do enough support, at least from what I can see in the forum. But, both a developer and a user, I can understand the frustration a future script creator faces when trying...

Though a valid suggestion it is one that doesn't help much :) I found no information about either the scripting capabilities of the current used engine version, nor any documentation on the engine itself. Until some months ago, the engine was as almost a ghost, with little to no reference on the off...

Here you have a simple application that will open a ACM file and read some info on it, it's just a spike solution, or a prof of concept if you prefer. It is written in Java an will output the info to the console, so you must use it from the console, and display a JDialog with an image. Jar file, jus...

If you don't add more than 65 bytes I believe I can live with that :D I want to be able to read this file format, writing it will most likely not be an option. So if the date is days after 30-12-1899 I can just subtract todays date, in days, from the assumed zero date and get the number of days.... ...

Ok, scratch that :D
Next question: and "Added Date" of 18-05-2007 ended up as a "39220" integer. What does this value represent? The time since Epoch? Most likely not... how can I get the correct date out of this value?

Well I was reading that the every string had an integer stating the size and, because you didn't said otherwise, I assumed that the first string in the file also had that integer. I was trying to read the first four bytes of the file as an integer. I then found that those 4 bytes represented " ...

I also need some help reading the file. I'm using Java and I need to know if the integer that represents the string length is Big Endian or Little Endian. That will help a bit. Another question, so that I confirm that I'm not thinking this the wrong way: Your file starts with an integer stating the ...
