[Netatalk-devel] [Fwd: Bug Resolution] Re: AD version 2 handing bug in OS-X

[Philip E. <ph...@ed...>]

FYI- This is a response from Apple regarding my bug report (on behalf of 
the Baltra project) that OS-X is very particular about how it reads 
AppleDouble files (i.e. the ._filename files).  This was fustrating 
because it required us to strip out all of Netatalk's supported AD 
objects except for the two which OS-X wanted (FinderInfo and 
ResourceFork, which had to be in that order) if we wanted to access the 
files in a way other than via Netatalk.

I haven't tested to see if a regular Netatalk AD version 2 file is 
handled correctly by OS-X (or vice versa) now, but this is encouraging 
to hear at least.
