bad2good.pl: executor->netatalk resource forks
hi,
sorry about the commentary in the name :) (it's preliminary)
I wrote a little perl script which converts one-way to netatalk format. It
does make softlinks in the form %name->.AppleDouble/name so it will take a
netatalk hierarchy and at least make it usable with executor.
Can you executor guys give me an idea of how well the softlinks will work in
practice? (ie executor won't get upset in any strange cases because it's a
softlink, not a real file?) Should I use a hard link instead maybe?
I still have more error checking to implement before I release the script,
but just to let you know it's there and works.
one thing I'm still thinking about though... what do I do if there are
differing %name and .AppleDouble/%name? go with the newer one and back up
the old one somewhere??
are you sure you guys don't want to offer a command-line switch to
tell executor to use the netatalk format? :)
