gbCodeLib allows a user to select a file, associate it with a snippet and store it for later viewing or extraction. For each snippet gbCodeLib can store a single file of any type. All such files are stored in a single file called 'gbcodelibresource.res' (a custom file format - not to be confused with a Microsoft resource file by the same extension).

Although each snippet is limited to association with a single object, multiple objects can be stored by placing them in a resource file (such as a .res or .zip file) and saving that file with gbCodeLib.

Note: The gbCodeLib commands that create a remote database also create a remote object file.

Four toolbar buttons are available to add, remove, extract and view objects:

• Add
  Add an object to the object database, associated with the current code snippet. A copy of the object is placed in the object database. The original object is not affected.
• Remove
  Remove the object from the database (does not delete the original object file).
• Save
  Save a copy of the object to a specified folder. The object file name does not change.
• View
  View the object using the built-in viewer of gbCodeLib. Text and RTF file can be viewed, as can .BMP, .GIF, .JPG, and .PNG files.

The filename of the object is displayed underneath the snippet title, as shown in the following image (center textbox below the title).
