Re: Want to know about resources of Resource fork

But to stick to the Resource Manager:

1.

CFTypeRef cf = NULL;

err = GetEventParameter( theEvent, ..., typeWildCard, ... &cf );
err = AddCFResource( refnum, some32bitID, &cf ); // Resource Manager knows the type because it's available from object.

CFDictionaryRef dict = NULL;
err = GetCFResource( refnum, some32bitID, &dict ); // Resource Manager knows the type because it's available from object.

2.

CFResourceStream.h
HIArchiveToResourceSteam(...);
3.

cp file/..namedFork/rsrc/icns/128 > my.icns

cat somebig.tif >> file/..namedFork/rsrc/TIFF/128/somebig.tif/64

4.

Direct support in CarbonEvents:
enum {
	kEventClassResource = 'rsrc',
	kEventResourceRead = 'read',
	kEventResourceAdd = 'radd',
	kEventResourceUpdate = 'upda',
	....

I can't quite see when these would be useful enough for them to implement them. Can you give some examples?

BTW, For those interested, we are planning a "What's new in the File System" session at WWDC which will showcase some long requested developer features available in Leopard.

How's about a li'l hint? 

Yeah, right. LOL
