Toolbar Editor
Introduction
Unlike other programs, this software doesn't provide a fixed set of buttons and
menus for the toolbar. Here you can create a button or a menu with any icon, hot key
and script. Script is an event that happens on clicking the button or on selecting the menu option. For example, the scripts with the following actions can be specified:
Location
Select the Designer > Edit Toolbar menu item to open the toolbar editor window:
Alternatively, you may right-click the toolbar:
Besides the main toolbar, you can also create individual toolbars for each
folder and query results:
Toolbar Editor Interface

toolbar;
- Delete - delete the selected toolbar item;
- Up arrow icon - move the selected toolbar item to the left;
