This makes the resulting images a bit larger in size than they strictly need to be if I were to reverse-engineer the format of the Desktop file and create it by scratch instead of relying on the OS to do it, things could be packed much more tightly together.

currently my tool has to leave a bunch of empty space on the image so that the OS can create the Desktop file, and it errs on the side of generosity since the early Mac OS somewhat stupidly refuses to mount an HFS disk at all if it doesn't have a Desktop file and the system can't create one. that are already associated with the files on the native HFS+ disk. It's also written expressly with Mac compatibility in mind, not being a port of an app for another platform, so it takes special care to preserve the resource fork, finder info, etc. Not the easiest way to go about doing it, and it certainly took me a while to get it working well enough for fsck not to complain about things, but it seems to work now, and I feel like I learned a lot in the process of writing it. No libraries involved beyond the standard Cocoa frameworks and whatnot that you need to make a typical OS X app. My tool creates the whole data structure manually, using the spec in Inside Macintosh. Maybe we could try to sync a folder and an HFS image? I believe HFSUtils can be used for that. We should think of a way of allowing users to alter the existing HFS image contents, but only thinking of creating a bespoke UI for drag-and-drop and listing folders like HFVExplorer makes me tired. Or maybe not, maybe that's just adding complexity to something that already works. if we could make a converter to get all contents from a HFS+ image and copy over to a "replica" in HFS, it could be a nice alternative. How did you do that, CharlesS? Did you use any libraries or do you create the whole data structure manually? You mention the image is done from scratch, that's why I ask. I just tested HFS Disk Maker, it is very handy. Your app works fine here (in Yosemite) to create a new empty HFS (or HFS+) image of any size. It makes it easy to transfer files from OSX to a 68k emulator. HFS Disk Maker creates HFS disk images from a file or from a folder with files.

Moreover, folders have a pale colour, as it happens for hidden files when they are shown in finder (is it normal?).Ronald P. There are some folders on pen drive but I'm sure enough not all files have been correctly copied. Thus, DiskMaker started and finished formatting pen drive later on, the copying of files begun but I noticed soon it was taking too much time (it seems it should take at the most 30 minutes) in fact, after almost 45 minutes, a time out error (regarding a certain AppleEvent) is returned and the process of copying seems to be aborted.

Then, I formatted drive by hand (using Disk Utility) using a FAT filesystem (I discovered that DiskMaker not even starts formatting pen drive when it is initialised with a Mac OS X Journaled filesystem). I bought a new pen drive and downloaded El Capitan in my Applications folder I downloaded DiskMaker X 5, too and ran it.Īt the very beginning I had some problems when DiskMaker attempted to format pen drive before starting copying files into it (it refused to format, returning an error). I tried DiskMaker but I had problems in creating the bootable disk.
