Hello,
I've made an application that copies files to an mp3 disk.
Since the disk is formatted as FAT32 and I can't reformat it as HFS
(it does not understand that format), I have to avoid copying
resource fork (if any) and metadata, so I'm using the shell command
"cp file1 file2".
Under Mac OS 10.3, there is no problem: only the data fork is being
copied.
The problem is with Mac OS 10.4. Using that OS, the metadata part is
also copied although I'm using the exact same application with the
same shell command.
By looking at the man pages of the cp command, I can't find a
parameter to avoid the copy of the metadata part.
Using the Finder or CopyFileTo method also copy the metadata and
resource fork (as they also did in 10.3).
Is it simply impossible to just copy a data fork using Mac OS 10.4?
Who know, maybe the last post in this list :-(
