Hello,
I recently discovered that the "visible" property of a file in a
virtual volume cannot be set (I set f.visible=false and, when I check
again, the property stays on true). Same thing apply to the locked
property. On the other hand, I can change the name of the file and
its MacType, that's all I tried. So it appears that some properties
are not applicable to files in virtual volumes.
Files in a virtual volumes seems a bit paradoxical for me. Some
properties must exist (name, or directory, for example), some don't
have to (e.g ResourceForkLength) and some are, at the moment,
indeterminate (visible, creation date, modification date, locked,
etc. ). Since the "alias" property is only applicable on Macs, where
the file contains at least an "alis" resource, since no resources are
allowed in a virtual volume, the "alias" property is certainly not
useable.
Is there a list available somewhere which shows what properties are
supported for files in virtual volumes? Apparently, there is no
information in the Language Reference.
Have a nice Christmas
