Hello Listers,
I'm an ordinary developer who worked on a
cross-platform application to create images based on the HFS-format. My
images work fine when recorded on to a CD and read under Mac OS 9 but
someone who tried reading them under Jaguar complained that not all files
got displayed. He had tried creating a very simple image with three files
at
the root level named bild.bmp, screenshot.jpg and test1.mpg.
The problem is that only one file (bild.bmp) is displayed initially as
present. After searching for "." in the window all three files are shown
in the window.
Now what could this be due to ? I have quite a good understanding of the
HFS and HFS+ fs formats and really want to get to the root of the problem.
Considering that the image is perfectly readable under OS 9 I *have to*
come to the conclusion that the OS-X Finder is making some specific
assumptions
which deviate from the Filesystem format Specifications released by Apple
and
what the Finder of OS 9 does.
Any suggestions/comments to this issue will be really appreciated !
Best Regards,
Nandini Hengen
