Several tables within the standard Installer databases contain stream columns. Two tables containing binary streams that are frequently used are the Binary table (for binary data and bitmaps) and the Icon table (for icons).
Streams can be imported and exported directly from within the Tables view.
A binary stream can be imported to or exported from a focused cell only. To access this functionality, focus the required binary cell using your keyboard and/or mouse. Press F2 or Enter or click the focused cell again to activate the edit mode.
The active cell provides two buttons for exporting and importing its binary content.

Note: Due to Windows Installer limitations, the ability to discover the original file type is limited. RayPack uses binary stream names to determine default extensions of exported files. However, if the stream name contains no extension (like in the picture above) it is up to user to select the correct extension so that the exported file can be opened by its associated application. |
