arthur&l?on Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Hello all I'm new to the macintosh and I must say it's not exactly the same as windows. I am unable to launch resedit, even to find it. Is it part of the OS (I think it must be OS 9 or something) or is it a addon product ?Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance. Francesco. Quote Link to comment
StarGate Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Hello Franscesco, I read your message and I can help you. ResEdit is a separate program from Apple which is not included in the operating system. However I can help you. Send me your email address directly to the following email : kristiaan.verberne@skynet.be I will send you ResEdit and the documentation to the email address you specified. I have to warn you for one important thing : NEVER EDIT ACTIVE RESOURCE FILES ESPECIALLY SYSTEM FILES. You have to make sure that the resource files you edit are not used at that time. And make sure you know what you are editing! I wish you a very nice day. Friendly greetings, StarGateDesselBelgiumEuropeemail : kristiaan.verberne@skynet.be Quote Link to comment
Cloud Hidden Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Whatcha doing with ResEdit? The vast majority of Macintosh users should never have a reason to use it. On the other hand, if you have a good reason to be using it (such as translating some of the text in a program if the software publisher itself doesn't), I'd be curious to know. Realize that whatever changes you make will most likely be discarded when you install the next version of whatever you're changing. And StarGate's caution bears repeating.....you can really make a big mess of things using ResEdit if you aren't really careful. Quote Link to comment
Fuge Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Resedit can be found here: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/Utilities/ResEdit_2.1.3.sea.bin Resedit is used to create resource filesfor VectorWorks plug-ins.

arthur&l?on Posted August 17, 2002 Author Share Posted August 17, 2002 Many thanks for all your answers.I want to use resedit to create picture resources for custom dialogs in vectorscript. Regards Francesco Quote Link to comment
TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 From an long-time NT user (I'm on Macs at the office), be careful. Mac's don't take tinkering very well. Unlike Windows, they weren't designed to be... adjusted. Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 No disrespect intended, but I think that would depend on the level of understanding of the tinkerer. I have never had trouble using ResEdit. It's a great tool and I don't know where I'd be without it. Raymond [ 08-19-2002: Message edited by: MullinRJ ] Quote Link to comment
