@MaxWish - Mac-Packing Plugin

[blacky]

Hy,

Can anyone make a mac packing format plugin for TC ?
I have take a look in MaxWish's Totalcommander club page
and dont have found a plugin for Mac-Packing formats like
dmg, sit and so.

greetings

Unfortunately .sit is proprietrary and completely undocumented. The only way to unpack is via the free unpack program for windows.

Hi blacky,
Is this message speciallay for me only ??? (@ maxwish...)

but,
I haven't found any Mac plugin yet, otherwise it would be at ClubTotal.

As far as I know, the .sit extention is used by Alladin Stuffit. This format is not open source so making a plugin would be quite hard. But it could be done using the MultiArc plugin and the unstuffit.exe found in the older stuffit pakages. But I don't know if the current format would be support by the old unstuffit.exe
BTW: it is used with FAR filemanager, the code is below and should be modified a bit for use with multiarc:

Code: Select all

;NOTE: THIS IS THE CODE FOR FAR, IT MUST BE CHANGED FOR TC !!!
;Aladdin's UnStufit for DOS is a bit slow and doesn't support long filenames.

Addition:
There is a Software developmer Kit for Stuffit
http://www.stuffit.com/win/sdk/index.html

the download page is:
wwww.stuffit.com/win/sdk/download_sdk.html

Demo download is free, but it requires a license if you use it in a program. (says nothing about the costs...)

Hy Christian and MaxWish ,

@MaxWish : *g* why not, you have a very big ToolPage for TC,
i think, the biggest in the WWW and the best one !! *slime*
Now, realy, the TC Tools - collection it the biggest were i have seen
in the web, and i think, the most coder, is getting you the newest plugins for TC, and i think, you now, were can write a plugin as anonymous
and can post under unoffical Plugin for TC, therefore i have wrote you on for this little prob in a grayzone
And i think, anyone can write a simple packingplugin
for .sit and .dmg .
