Configuring Kwik

After installing Kwik, open Photoshop. If the plugin window does not show up automatically, make it visible by going to Photoshop’s Menu

• Window->Extensions->Kwik4.

The Kwik4 panel looks like this when there is no project opened:

The Toolset Bar on the top right corner offers three icons (from left to right).

• new project (which we are going to use in this tutorial)

• open last project

• open project

“Hello World”, Multi Lingual Sample", “Animations” and “Actions” are sample projects embedded in Kwik. You can click to open it later for your reference.

Before working on a new project, let’s take a quick look at the status bar at the bottom of Kwik Panel

Open Settings window

• Export images: when enabled, Kwik will export images from each document layer;
• Export current page only: when enabled, it exports content just for the current page, instead of the entire project;

Click Settings button and check the configurations. When the window opens, please choose General Tab.

Although there are several options, the only ones that matter at this moment are

• Location of Solar2D Simulator

  The simulator opens when you publish your project.

• Location of Project Root Folder

  your each project will be saved inside the project root folder

You can set each path by clicking Browse button.

These are their default paths

• Mac

  • Application\Corona\Corona Simulator.app
  • ~/Documents/Kwik

• Windows

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Corona Labs\Corona\Corona Simulator.exe
  • ~/Documents/Kwik
