Adding the "Move to Trash" function to System 7.1
- webwielder2 3y agoSometimes I think I’m the only person in the world without some insanely specific hobby they are passionate enough about to write blog posts about.
- bombcar 3y agoUsing an iPad as system 7 seems right up this alley, and insanely interesting https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2021/04/17/turning-an-ipad-pro-into-the-ultimate-classic-macintosh/ https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2021/04/17/turning-an-ipad-p...
- msephton 3y agoHaha! I have many insanely specific hobbies. Make of that what you will :)
- doix 3y agoDoing things in a hex editor is a pretty weird choice. Is there no disassembler/assembler you can use? Translating the op-codes by hand would drive me insane.
- dpassens 3y agoBut he's not modifying the code, he's just changing one ASCII char for another. And if you take a look at the hex editor screenshot, you'll see that it's not even inside the code, but rather surrounded by the menu entry names.
- doix 3y agoYeah sorry, I was talking about removing the confirmation dialog. I should have clarified.
- msephton 3y agoI did use a disassembler, but I didn't mention it directly in the blog post - rather it was at the link to 68KMLA. Not really sure why I did that, but I guess the blog post was long enough already. So, I just edited the blog post to mention it and make that more clear. Cheers!
- dangrover 3y agoWhy does he have to use a hex editor for this, can't you just edit the menu directly in ResEdit?
- msephton 3y agoI mention this in the article. You can, but you can't assign the backspace/delete yet using either ResEdit or Resourcerer.
