If you’re already using the developer preview of Mojave, or considering being one of the public beta-testers, here’s detailed information about compatibility of all my apps and tools.
xattred
Now has 3 ways to open a file, including drag and drop, which also lets you open folders as well.
New version with a xattr Scanner, to find and analyse types of xattr you didn’t know existed, how often they occur, and more.
Adds display of the total size of xattrs, total data fork size, and their sum in its window.
Many files in macOS are more than just their data, and contain metadata in extended attributes. Does macOS know the true size of any file, taking into account those attributes?
You have double-clicked on a disk image, and macOS refuses. Here is what you can do to get that image to mount, even when it’s damaged.
The File menu has been tidied, and xattred can now save the one xattr selected or all of them to a text file.
This new version should run OK on El Capitan, but has no functional changes apart from that.
Hectic with SIP problems in High Sierra, the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities, then iCloud Drive’s strange stripping of extended attributes.
Browse, cut/copy/paste, edit content, export as text, and more for any xattr attached to a folder or file in HFS+ and APFS, Sierra and High Sierra.
