The workspace & interface

This page maps the whole Tuning Editor window and links every command to the page that explains it in full, so you always know where a feature lives.

The window has four parts: the menu bar across the top, the Main Toolbar below it, the collection panel on the left, the work area of editor windows in the centre, and the status bar along the bottom.

The menu bar

Thirteen menus group every command by purpose.


Collections

Everything about collections: New, Open, Save, Save As, Close, Properties (collection details) and Recent. The Export submenu holds Export Binary, Export Batch Binary and Export Map Definitions; the Import submenu holds Import Binary, Import Batch Binary, Import A2L Symbol File and Import Map Definitions. Quit closes the app.


Search

Find Similar Files — scan folders for binaries resembling a target.


Online

Find Files Online, Find Similar Files Online and Automatic Tuning — the features that use your online account.


Edit

Undo, Redo, Copy, Paste and Select All. These act on whichever editor has focus and use the standard system keys (see keyboard shortcuts).


View

Full Screen, Reset Layout, Hide Side Panels and Show Collection Panels control the workspace (below). Pair Offset Window and Navigation Window open the two tools for comparing & navigating files.


Tools

Your own external tools, plus Configure Tools to manage them.


Editors

Hex Editor and the 2D File Editor open editor windows on the active data. (The map editor opens by double-clicking a map.)


Calculators

All open from here: Unit Conversions, Air Flow Estimation, Fuel Estimation, Mechanical Calculator, Turbo Calculator and Cam & Valvetrain — see engineering calculators.


Analysis

Log Analyzer, and the Turbo and Cam analyzers.


Plugins

Commands added by installed UI/extension plugins (empty if none are installed).


Settings

Preferences — language, theme, online sign-in and editor defaults.


Window

Arrange the editor windows: Cascade, Tile, Tile Vertically / Horizontally, and Next / Previous Window; a live list of open windows sits at the bottom.


Help

Keyboard Shortcuts, Installed Plugins, Check for Updates, and About.

The Main Toolbar

The toolbar keeps the most common actions one click away, in groups: New / Open / Save; Undo / Redo / Copy / Paste; Hex Editor / 2D File Editor / AutoTune. On the right, a version picker shows the active collection and version (click to switch either), and a section picker switches the active file section.

The status bar

The bar along the bottom is informative and partly clickable:



Arranging the workspace

The collection panel on the left lists open collections and their sections and versions; hide it (and other side panels) with Hide Side Panels (Ctrl+B), or toggle an individual collection’s strip from Show Collection Panels. The centre is a multi-document work area where each editor opens in its own window. Reset Layout (Ctrl+Alt+R) restores the default arrangement.

Tuning Editor offers Light, Dark and System themes (with a matching icon set), set on the General tab of Preferences.
