The -icon-position option will attempt to preserve folder window positions,
|
||
|
|
scroll bars, views etc. for Apple/Unix file formats that support this
|
||
|
|
information (see below for which Apple/Unix encoding are supported).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This information is stored in the 'FinderInfo' part of a Apple/Unix directory.
|
||
|
|
For example, in a CAP directory structure a directory called 'dirA' will
|
||
|
|
have the necessary FinderInfo stored in file '.finderinfo/dirA'. This file
|
||
|
|
stores information including, the folder's location and size on screen,
|
||
|
|
its scroll positions, folder View (view as Icons, Small Icons, etc.).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, the similar FinderInfo data for the 'root' folder is a special case.
|
||
|
|
For example, if a directory called '/some/dir/macfiles' is a CAP volume that
|
||
|
|
is mounted on a Mac as 'macfiles', then the FinderInfo for this directory
|
||
|
|
is stored in the file '/some/dir/.finderinfo/macfiles' - which is outside
|
||
|
|
the CAP directory structure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To get round this, an extra option, '-root-info' is used that takes as its
|
||
|
|
argument the name of the file that stores the root folder's FinderInfo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using the above example, the command file options will be something like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
% mkhybrid --cap -root-info /some/dir/.finderinfo/macfiles /some/dir/macfiles
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The format of the root FinderInfo file must be the same as the 'double-dash'
|
||
|
|
option(s) given on the command line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Apple/Unix encodings that mkhybrid can decode the root FinderInfo are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CAP:
|
||
|
|
CAP directory: /some/dir/macfiles
|
||
|
|
Root FinderInfo file: /some/dir/.finderinfo/macfiles
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Netatalk:
|
||
|
|
Netatalk directory: /some/dir/macfiles
|
||
|
|
Root FinderInfo file: /some/dir/.AppleDouble/RootInfo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EtherShare:
|
||
|
|
EtherShare directory: /some/dir/macfiles
|
||
|
|
Root FinderInfo file: /some/dir/.rsrc/macfiles
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If an HFS disk is mounted on a Linux platform, then the root FinderInfo
|
||
|
|
files are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Option 'fork=cap':
|
||
|
|
Root FinderInfo file: /mountpoint/.rootinfo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Option 'fork=double':
|
||
|
|
Root FinderInfo file: /mountpoint/%RootInfo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Option 'fork=netatalk':
|
||
|
|
Root FinderInfo file: /mountpoint/.AppleDouble/RootInfo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The '-root-info' option implies the '-icon-position' option. Future releases
|
||
|
|
of mkhybrid may automatically find the root FinderInfo file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The volume name is not set from the root FinderInfo file. Use the -V or
|
||
|
|
-hfs-volid options to set the volume name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently UShare, SGI/XINET, PC Exchange and SFM Apple/Unix root FinderInfo
|
||
|
|
files are not supported by mkhybrid - more information about these formats
|
||
|
|
is required in order to supoort them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AppleSingle and MacBinary are file only formats - they don't support folders
|
||
|
|
or volumes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using this option, it is now possible to make a nearly true representation
|
||
|
|
of a Mac folder layout on a Unix/Linux platform.
