New Tool! Separate HTML screens for iPhone vs iPad

I'm keeping busy around here. Thought I'd share my latest creation. The "Double HTML Screen Setter-Upper" Tool will allow you to define two different html documents in a iOS v1.5 project to be fed from the same screen. My initial release will be ready tonight. It works good, but it isn't quite perfect yet. If you know your way around copying/pasting json parameters, you can get the full power out of this right away. But in the near future, it will be updated with all point/click options to do the dirty work for you. Right now, it will create the HTML screens for your project, but it doesn't have any of the extra options that a normal HTML doc does (navbar title, bg color, behaviors, etc). But you can copy them from an existing HTML doc in your BT_Config.txt. See the tool here: http://idevdepot.com/?p=321

Quick update. After typing the above post, I realized that I didn't really want to send something out that wasn't at least "mostly functional". Specifically, I wanted to at least allow the user to set the NavBar title, and have the option of hiding the bottom tool bar. So I made a few quick changes, and have those two options working in a "Advance Properties" screen within the program. See a screenshot of the added settings page at this link: http://idevdepot.com/?p=321 Almost have it ready to distribute. Soon soon soon!

Unfortunately, my quickest development route currently is on the Windows platform. But I created it completely under Parallels on a mac, and it runs perfectly that way as well. I can't tell you how much I like Parallels (being a long time Windows guy who switched to macs for this iOS stuff). Also, it is a single file executable that can run on a thumb drive, and output everything you need back on the thumb drive. So go raid the local library and bring the tool with you :) Also, my offer stands that if you just can't get your hands on a pc to run this, send me your info and I can run the program and output the files for you.

The name itself is worth a donation! I'm thinking we'll see a "Triple Word Score Quiz Maker" from @Stobe next. Good work.
