I'm trying to add permissions for Treasure Hunt (an old classic app)
to some workgroups, but it won't go. I hit the add button, but it
doesn't add. Other classic apps work as expected. does anyone have an
idea of why, or a work-around for this?
Hi Matt,
I try to avoid Classic apps, but as you know that's not always an
option. When I have come across this type of situation it is usually
caused by the developer using the same creator code for more than one
application. So Workgroup Manager only "sees" the first one added.
My workaround has been to use ResEdit to change the creator code on
one of the apps. Not nearly as daunting as it sounds, just open
ResEdit File>Get Info on the application and change the code
( usually just change the last character slightly), save your
changes. Then try to add the application again. Unfortunately you
will also have to copy this edited app to your workstations.
