To distribute resources, you must create the required files and folders for a particular resource type. Some of the resource file names should match the standard names.
For each resource file, there should be a created folders structure, which should match the folders structure of the program installation folder.
To distribute resources, you must create a resource manager descriptor file.
Distributing Custom Diagrams
