FileFinagler allows you to finagle (play around with) the files and folders
on your Mac:
1) Make files or entire folders invisible to keep them from prying eyes.
2) Make the invisible files or folders on your Mac visible to see what they
are hiding.
3) Copy invisible files from read-only media to your hard drive so that you
can make them visible.
4) Open your sensitive invisible files for editing without having to make
them visible first (that way you won't have to remember to make them
invisible again after you finish editing them).
5) Change the application that starts when you double-click a file from the
Finder by changing the file's CREATOR code. Build a list of often-used
CREATOR codes that you can access from a pop-up button. FileFinagler allows
you to easily change the CREATOR code for an entire folder full of files
with a single mouse click.
6) Change a file's TYPE code if it does not have one (such as can happen
with files downloaded from the Web) or if the TYPE is incorrect. Build a
list of often-used TYPE codes that you can access from a pop-up button.
FileFinagler allows you to easily change the TYPE code for an entire folder
full of files with a single mouse click.
Requires: HyperCard(R) Player 2.3 or higher (or equivalent); for Macs
having System 8.6 or higher pre-installed, the Player is found on the
System CD-ROM in the Apple Extras folder (simply drag the HyperCard folder
to your hard drive). A Mac having a 68030 processor or faster is preferred.
