Does DeltaWalker support Mac OS X resource forks?
A resource fork is a Mac OS X file system (HFS+) construct used to store structured data in
a file, alongside unstructured data stored within the data fork.
DeltaWalker offers the following support for Resource Forks (RF):
- Sync operations such as copy and move are aware of RFs and, when present, copy/move them
along with the the files' data forks.
- The Permissions folder comparison tree column shows '@' at the end for files with RFs as
illustrated by the screenshot that follows.
- Tooltips for files with RFs show the size of RF; see screenshot.
- Byte-by-byte comparison of files with RFs includes: a) data fork comparison
b) resource fork comparison, if the data forks are the same.
