Missing the point
Authored by: ajmas on Feb 10, '02 10:36:47AM

You can certainly do things with BBEdit, but the whole point of using ResEdit ( yeah I know it is a classic app ), is that you get to see the resources for what they are - icons with an icon editor, text strings with a text string editor, etc. For example when you are editing the text strings you just enter the text without having to take out your ASCII chart to work out what the ASCII equivalent of 52 is.

I certainly look forward to a MacOS X equivalent of ResEdit. If you have never used ResEdit I urge you to check it out, even if it does mean launching the classic environment.

I should probably have explained my point in the hint, though better late than never ;)

If you miss ResEdit give Resorcerer a try! They have an OS X version available. Their website is...

With Resorcerer you don't need to convert it to a resource (and back). Those files appear as resources did in ResEdit.

ps. The google search tip was great, I never used the search tab in IE before this mod.
