All,
I
hope some one can enlighten me quickly, otherwise I'll be burning up my
keyboard scripting in the next two weeks.
I'm
migrating a PrePress environment from OS 9 to Tiger (10.4.8). One
of the 'opportunities' I'm confronting is how the finder is not recognizing
files of the OS 9 genre (dual-forked) without a suffix. I've got
gigs upon gigs of files that are in this format that the PrePress folks
will have to access for years to come. I think I'm looking for a
quick and easy way to convert these files from dual-forked to data only
files on the fly. These files are mixed containing some multiple
file types, such as PDF, tiff, eps, psd, txt, etc. , unfortunately, Finder
sees them all as unix executables because they don't have suffixes, or
at least, most don't.
I
can probably write something that looks at each file and algorithmically
determines what suffix should go with it, and just rename the file, but
that could be a bit of a bear, but if that's what I'm relegated to doing,
sobeit..... but, thought someone on this list might know of something that's
much more efficient and more precise than anything I might come up with.
Any brilliant ideas?
