External Tools

Simply Fortran users can add custom tools to the integrated development environment through the Toolbox functionality. External programs can be configured to be launched directly from the Toolbox menu.

Two types of tools are supported by Simply Fortran, global and project-specific tools. Global tools are stored by the development environment for utilization regardless of the current project. Project-specific tools are stored along with the project file, and are often used to configure external tools specific to the current project.

Adding, Modifying, and Deleting Tools

To manage the list of tools in the toolbox, users may select Configure Tools from the Toolbox menu to open the Toolbox Management window.

Executing Tools

After tools have been added, the tools are accessible via the Toolbox menu. To launch a tool, the appropriate entry is simply clicked in the Toolbox menu.
