ADF Viewer/Manager for macOS

[bloodline]

Are you going to put the source on GitHub or some other public place. I understand if you might not want to, but learning is awesome. I'd love to see how you did all this.

I can't wait to download a build and try it out.

Hey there,
 
 I don't want to release the code in its current state, some of it is 6 years old and written before I properly understood the Appkit and Cocoa... I'm still not sure why some of it works (the .info icon reading code really shouldn't work), so I simply won't be able to support it
 
 I am rewriting as I add more features, and when the code looks better I will share it
 
 I'm replacing a lot of target/action patterned sections with closures.
 
 Little easter-egg for you; if you run ADFBench from the terminal, it dumps out all my debugging printf()s as it runs... some of my statements are simply embarrassing, others give a fascinating insight into my state of mind.

I was actually wondering if you'd done it that way so you could use the actual 68k filesystem handlers. Well done, I'm impressed.

The 68K emulator was originally included to run any 68k embedded into the files system (the first 1024bytes of a floppy etc...), and I guessed it might be able to avoid endianess issues... But, in ther end I didn't need it... Then I found Lallafa's blog about running Amiga executable files, so now I'm trying to figure out the Amiga Hunk format, once I do that I'll let the 68k run it :hammer: see what happens.
 
 Anyone who wants to work with me on this part is welcome
 

I've not got a working Intel Mac anymore so I can't have a play with it sadly. Maybe I should build a Hackintosh.

I recently built a 32gb RAM, 4Ghz Skylake i7 Hackintosh (with two 28" 4K monitors)... best thing I ever did.

I'm looking to get a new workstation for music. Was thinking about buying a second hand xeon server with at least 8 cores plus hyperthreading. Dunno whether osx would support one but it's worth a shot.

If I get one up and running I might just have to see if I can help you at all.

OSX Sierra certainly does support the Xeon, check out https://www.tonymacx86.com/ for full list of hardware.

My own specs are:
intel Skylake 6700k i7 4Ghz CPU
GA-Z170X-UD5 TH Motherboard
32Gb DDR4 2400Mhz RAM
2x nVidia GTX950 GFX cards
1TB SATA SSD
Zoom UAC-2 USB3 Audio interface
2x AOC 28" UHD 4K monitors

I cheaped out a bit on the RAM.

If I get one up and running I might just have to see if I can help you at all.

Let me know, this should be fun!

It's been a while coming, but right clicking on an icon now gives the option to save the file to your Mac hard drive, ideal for recovering files from old ADF/HDF.

I will add a menu option to save all files to your Mac in one go.

"Save All Files" now works and doesn't miss files located down the hash_chain ( :furious: ).

This option will create a folder (wherever you want) called the same as the volume name, and then populate it with the files and folders from your ADF/HDF (at the moment, file attributes aren't retained, like creation date, etc... not vital, but I hope to add that).
 
 -edit- international characters are now properly handled too... that took a bit of work :laugh1:

Is the code you use for interacting with ADF files on the macOS portable? Can I use it in an app of my own? Got a github repo for this?

It's written in Objective-C (with some swift, I code much faster in Obj-C)... is that any good?

-edit-
Actually looking over the code, I can think of better approach than the one I used in the program. If I get time perhaps I could rewrite it in C++ which would be far more portable.

Objective C is more than fine. As is swift or C++

I would love to help out! I have replied to your personal message
