Hello Listers, I had worked on a cross-platform application a little while ago to create images based on the HFS-format. My images work fine when recorded on to a CD and read under Mac OS 9 but someone who tried reading them under Jaguar complained that not all files got displayed. He had tried creating a very simple image with three files at the root level named bild.bmp, screenshot.jpg and test1.mpg. The problem that only one file (bild.bmp) is displayed initially as present. After searching for "." in the window all three files are shown in the window.
Now what could this be due to ? I really want to get to the root of the problem. Considering that the image is perfectly readable under OS 9 I *have to* come to the conclusion that the OS-X Finder is making some specific assumptions which deviate from the filesystem format specifications released by Apple.
Any suggestions/ comments as to what this could be due to and why I don't have a problem under OS 9 as well ? Do you think it could have something to do with the filenames or the filetypes ? Images with a large number of text-files and pdf's seem to be getting displayed under OS-X perfectly.
Best Regards, Nandini
