Re: Old 4D Transporter (ResTransporter) or Equivalent
Peter This may not be exactly what you need. I recently had need to look in some Resource files to see what was there..as I am sure you know we used to have ResEdit. I came across an app call Resilla which allows you to look in the resources, you might find that a useful way to view the resources you are trying to extract, Nigel Greenlee > On 5 Jul 2020, at 12:14, Peter Jakobsson via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Hi Folks > > Many thanks for all the tips - much appreciated. > > I managed to solve my problem with Spencer’s suggestion to write my own > Transporter in 4D using DOCUMENT TO BLOB(file;*) to split the resource fork > away and save it as a data fork. > > That let me transfer to Windows. > My old structure and data now work fine in my Windows 7 VM with 4D 2004 > server. > > Many thanks again for the useful responses ! > > Regards > > Peter > > ** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > New Forum: https://discuss.4D.com > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com > ** ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) New Forum: https://discuss.4D.com Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Re: Old 4D Transporter (ResTransporter) or Equivalent
Hi Folks Many thanks for all the tips - much appreciated. I managed to solve my problem with Spencer’s suggestion to write my own Transporter in 4D using DOCUMENT TO BLOB(file;*) to split the resource fork away and save it as a data fork. That let me transfer to Windows. My old structure and data now work fine in my Windows 7 VM with 4D 2004 server. Many thanks again for the useful responses !

You could run a. Me of snow leopard. I still have one not sure about the tool. I can look and advise It may be more than that. I don’t remember when you had plugins installed in the apps Regards Chuck On Sat, Jul 4, 2020 at 11:01 AM Peter Jakobsson via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Hi > > I was wondering if there’s a tool to split the 4D resource fork on a 4D > 2004 database so I can transport it from Mac to Windows.

Re: Old 4D Transporter (ResTransporter) or Equivalent
Maybe you can do this with 4D? There is a asterisk param for blob to document, document to blob. You just read in the res fork and write out as non-res file with .rsr I would think. Also maybe a moot point. 17.4 which is current may be the last 32-bit able version. It is 64-bit by default and does not support resources whatsoever in that mode. The "modern macOS" is Catalina which is 64-bit only and therefore no resources. So you need need to convert which you do by reading JPRs presentations and running his and Miyako's conversion Components that do stuff like put all String resources into an XLF file or help you replace PICT files. You run in 32-bit to make the resources accessible, then run in 64-bit to verify success.

Old 4D Transporter (ResTransporter) or Equivalent
Hi I was wondering if there’s a tool to split the 4D resource fork on a 4D 2004 database so I can transport it from Mac to Windows. I haven’t done this for years and have lost access to my old “Snowleopard” machine that I used to use for this type of thing. I need the “transporter” tool to run on a modern Mac OS. Any tips ?
