[Coco] Another MShell update and bug fix

[Bill Pierce]

Steven, that sounds exactly like what is happening. The fact that the extra bytes are flling in after the "read only" flag makes me think it's a permissions thing.

It would probably be an easy fix in dw4, but I have no idea what tools are used to build it, what SDK is used to support it etc. I could probably learn it if I set down with the SDK documentation, but it would be a while before I could do anything productive.
Like you, my time is tied up at the moment. What time I'm not working in the studio or running sound for shows, I'm working on the new MShell release. Learning a new language would completely throw me off my game with OS9 C at the moment :-)

Right now I have two new bands that are asking about recording full (12-15 song) CDs ($$) and the club I run sound for is wanting to expand the number of nights I work as they want to have more nights with live bands.

So I stay pretty busy lately :-)

Subject: Re: [Coco] Another MShell update and bug fixI'm going to bet this is related to user and group id onLinux and Mac. FYI: There is no concept of a system or "hidden" file as such inLinux. By convention, many file viewing tools suppress filenames starting with'.', but this is only a convention and not enforced at all on the systemlevel.  I suppose it's also possible that the underlying Java call to getfilesystem information is getting ACL "extended" permissions on Linux andMac.I know Java quite well, having been forced to learn it for my day job.But, like most of us, I'm lacking on free time and not in a position tovolunteer to chase this down.Your work on MShell sounds interesting and I'mhoping to find time to take it for a test drive soon.-- -- Coco mailinglistCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
