ADF Viewer/Manager for macOS

[bloodline]

I was cleaning through some old files and found some old code for an ADF manager I wrote for the Mac some time ago.

I have compiled the code and amazingly it works... if anyone here find it useful, let me know and I might add more features

Er, any chance you can do an OSX 10.6 compatible compile?

I'm currently using The Archive Browser to examine ADFs on my Mac, but it's a little unstable...

I'll see if I still have an OS 10.6 sdk

This  runs fine on Sierra.  Good job!

Is there any way you could add to this app to export the .info icons to the desktop as icns files, or png files?  I'd love to be able to replace icons in macos with amiga icons.

Chances are your adf has glowicons or newicons, which crashes ADFBench.

I can add the feature for you

Things on the current todo list:
1. Implement 1.3 style window borders (no code yet)
2. Activate the missing gadgets (the code for scrolling and resizing is buggy)
3. Saving files to your Mac (I'll add saving out the icon image to this as well)

I don't have any ADFs with GlowIcons or NewIcons so I couldn't test them

@Matt_H: I can't compile for OS 10.6 because I have used ARC (Automatic reference counting) throughout the code, which is only supported in later versions of macOX

-Edit- I noticed that the error message code was disabled for some reason, I've reactivated it so the next release should now give a message when something goes wrong.

I have uploaded a new build.

To save the icon file to your Mac, right click on it and select the "Save Icon" option.

Enjoy

Note: this version is developer signed, I might add it to the Mac App store if there is enough demand.

Ah well, thanks for trying. Will give it a spin on my 10.10 partition next time I have it booted.

Here is a 10.10 (Yosemite) build just for you

This is great!  Is it possible to add a recursive save feature, to save every .info on a disk at the same time?  Also, being able to select which states to save would be nice--selected,unselected,both.  I like how it saves to .TIF.  Is it also possible to add an option to save as ICNS to skip the editing/saving on the mac side step?

You should definitely add this to the mac store once its polished.  I think people would happily pay a couple bucks for this.  I know I would.

Just discovered a bad bug for saving icons.  The OSX display antialiases the icon image, so when saved, its not in its original 4 colors. (lots of extraneous colours and data)

I appreciate the feedback! I'll get to work fixing the bugs and implementing the features you requested.

PS I'm not planning on charging for this, I just hope someone finds it useful

I've implemented a "Save All Icons" feature in the "Amiga Disk Files" menu, which will save all the icons it finds in your ADF as tiff files. The normal and selected states are placed one on top of the other... that's the only way I can make this work for now (I'll see what I can do). I have removed the antialiasing so the original 4 colours are used.

I few little improvements as well, windows can now be resized, double clicking a window will raise it to the front most view.
The screen area can be any size you like... which includes full screen (looks awesome... especially in 1.3 view mode: atl-cmd-t).

The browser supports multiple ADFs, I want to implement greater interaction between disk files at some point.


Keep the suggestions coming
