From de7e5867a65e0a46f1388e3e50bc7eeddd1aecbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Timothy Pearson Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2013 01:02:02 -0600 Subject: Rename a number of libraries and executables to avoid conflicts with KDE4 --- kioslave/mac/README | 65 ----------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 65 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 kioslave/mac/README (limited to 'kioslave/mac/README') diff --git a/kioslave/mac/README b/kioslave/mac/README deleted file mode 100644 index bb907dd9c..000000000 --- a/kioslave/mac/README +++ /dev/null @@ -1,65 +0,0 @@ -From the hfsplus man page: - - "HFS+, also known as the Macintosh Extended Format, was - introduced by Apple Computer in 1998 with the release of - MacOS 8.1. It contains many improvements over the old HFS - file system, most notably the ability to allocate up to - 2^64 blocks, resulting in much more efficient storage of - many small files on large disks." - -This kio slave lets you read an HFS+ partition from konqueror -or any other KDE file dialogue. It uses hfsplus tools so you will -need these installed for it to work. - -TO INSTALL - -Read the INSTALL file. - - -NOTES - -Just enter mac:/ into Konqueror and you should see the contents of -your MacOS partition. Actually you'll probably get an error message -saying you havn't specified the right partition. Enter something -like mac:/?dev=/dev/hda2 to specify the partition (if you don't know -which partition MacOS is on you can probably guess by changing hda2 to -hda3 and so on or use the print command from mac-fdisk. The partition -will be used the next time so you don't have to specify it each time. - -Hfsplus tools let you see the file and copy data from the HFS+ -partition but not to copy data to it or change the filenames or such like. - -HFS+ actually keeps two files for every one you see (called forks), a -resource fork and a data fork. The default copy mode when you're -copying files across to you native drive is raw data which means it -just copies the data. Text files are copied in text mode (same as raw -format but changes the line endings to be Unix friendly and gets rid -of some funny extra characters - strongly advised for text files) -unless you specify otherwise. You can also copy the files across in -Mac Binary II format or specify text or raw format with another query: -mac:/myfile?mode=b or mac:/myfile?mode=t See man hpcopy for more. - -Note that you need permissions to read your HFS+ partition. How you -get this depends on your distribution, do a ls -l /dev/hdaX on it to -see. Under Debian you have to be in the disk group (just add your -username to the end of the entry in /etc/group). - -File types are done with matching the HFS+ type and application label -and then by extentions. See the source for the exact matching that -happens and feel free to suggest improvements. - -For some reason some directories in MacOS end in a funny tall f -character. This seems to confuse hfstools. - -You can't easiily use the command line tools while you are browsing -using kio-mac in Konqueror. Konqueror continuously refreshes it's -view which mean hpmount is being called every few seconds. Click on -Konqueror's home button before using the tools yourself on the command -line. - -Hidden files are now shown all the time. Apparantly Konqueror only -considers files with a dot at the front of the name to be hidden which -is a bit system dependant. - -Please e-mail me with any comments, problems and success stories: -Jonathan Riddell, jr@jriddell.org -- cgit v1.2.1
