Re: New verification algorithm for NC?

Would the fact that some DMGs are super-compressed play into this? E.g. an app expanded & installed would be around 800 MB, and the DMG is only 250 MB. (But once mounted, it should imho be available for read access like any other directory.)

New verification algorithm for NC?

When copying large bundles (especially apps) from a DMG to the main volume, NC (even on fast modern Macs) often takes a long time (several looong minutes) to verify if the copy process was successful. I assume that NC is using a hashing algorithm and compares source & destination file hashes. I woul...

Re: [CRASH] CursorBackup.mm

I encountered the (or a similar) crash again. Crash report appended below this time. What I did was (again) edit a file's basename in the GUI. What I did precisely was input a couple of rapid DELs (backspaces), after which I immediately wanted to type some letters, and then NC crashed. (The error do...

Re: [CRASH] CursorBackup.mm

Can't say. The only thing I did at that exact moment was edit a file's basename.

[INFO] Trash Tools

After reading about some trash problems in the other NC forum, I'd thought I could share this one here: https://github.com/JayBrown/Trash-Tools … not a feature request , but a third-party feature addition . (You can move it to a different forum, if it doesn't fit here.) Can't say if anyone here has ...

Re: Move to trash from external HDs [FIXED]

There is a system API for moving files to the trash: https://github.com/sindresorhus/macos-trash I've tested the trash CLI, and the system will auto-create a .Trashes or .Trash directory, if it doesn't exist. Seems to be very simple in terms of the code. However, it doesn't work for write-protected ...

Re: [BUG] No auto-refresh of tabs in synthetically firmlinked unique locations

:lol: Oh-my-god… hashtag AppleCoreRot. Luckily, Apple themselves have provided us with a user-facing solution for a workaround in macOS, namely with their (non-standard) /private directory, which does already contain a couple of locations that you would normally expect in the root directory. So you ...

Re: [BUG] No auto-refresh of tabs in synthetically firmlinked unique locations

It's also a basic bug when directly operating on /System/Volumes/Data.

Create a new empty folder there in NC or in iTerm, or remove a file there, and NC doesn't show it until you actually refresh the tab manually.

Re: [BUG] No automatic refresh of volumes at non-standard mountpoints

To clarify, these are of course synthetic firmlinks defined in /private/etc/synthetic.conf In the case of /home, you'd also have to comment out the line containing "/home" in /private/etc/auto_master, then `sudo umount home`, remove /System/Volumes/Data/home, create a new home directory there, and o...
