Clorox File Repair Description

Utility that recreates the missing resource fork for common Macintosh graphics files Clorox File Repair (cfr) is a utility that recreates the missing resource fork for common Macintosh graphics files. The resource fork stores the File Type, File Creator, and any bitmapped preview for the file. The most common reason for a Mac file to lose its resource fork is storage or transfer to and from a Windows or UNIX environment. This soft ware will also correct some file naming errors, such as missing or incorrect extensions. Simply take any combination of folders and files and drag them onto the Clorox File Repair (cfr) icon. The application will launch and a progress window will appear.The lower progress bar gives the progress of each individual file as it is processed. The lower progress bar also has some descriptions of what is going on below it, but they will not stay long enough to read in most cases. All files repaired by cfr will have a note left behind in the Finder comments for the file (Get Info at the Finder). Any files that cfr does not recognize or can't repair will have their Finder label left changed to red. This could indicate a detection error (if it is a file type cfr is supposed to understand).NOTE: The opening help screen for Photoshop must be disabled or Clorox File Repair will hang. Here are some key features of "Clorox File Repair": Detection: · Special Clorox-only extensions from our previous Digital Asset Manager (dam) system · Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files - versions 5, 6, and 7 · Adobe Illustrator native (AI) files - versions 3.2, 8, 9, 10, 11 (CS1), and 12 (CS2) · Adobe Illustrator EPS files - versions 3.2, 8, 9, 10, 11 (CS1), and 12 (CS2) · Aldus, Altsys, and Macromedia Freehand native files - versions 7, 8, and 11 (MX) · Aldus, Altsys, and Macromedia Freehand EPS files - versions 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 (X), and 11 (MX) · Adobe Photoshop native (PSD) files - versions 7, 8 (CS1), and 9 (CS2) · Also knows if a PSD file is pre-7, but not which specifi c version · Adobe Photoshop EPS files - versions 6, 7, 8 (CS1), and 9 (CS2) · Adobe Photoshop TIFF files - versions 7, 8 (CS1), and 9 (CS2) · Adobe Photoshop JPEG files - versions 7, 8 (CS1), and 9 (CS2) · PNG files · GIF files · Adobe InDesign files - versions 2, 3 (CS1), and 4 (CS2) · QuarkXPress files - versions 4, 5, 6, and 7 · Aldus and Adobe PageMaker files - versions 5, 6, and 6.5 · Files only detectable if proper file extension is present · UNIX executables Special: · Can tell the diff erence between Adobe Illustrator CS (AI) and Acrobat (PDF) files without an extension. · Automatically assumes all bitmap/pixel-based files it can detect were created by Photoshop. · QuarkXPress support is limited. · All Adobe files will take on the icon of the newest version of that program on the user's system and try to launch the newest version of that program. This is an Adobe issue, not an issue with cfr. · All detectable Freehand files will take on the proper icons for specific versions, if available, and launch in the proper version. · Most file types are detected by information internal to the file, except where noted. This is more reliable, but slower, than the way the Mac OS does it. Repair: · If cfr can properly detect a file, it will correct both the File Type and File Creator, which will usually restore the proper Finder icon and cause a double-click to launch the proper application. · Will add appropriate extensions to any file that can be properly detected and is missing an extension. Requirements: · Adobe Photoshop CS2 What's New in This Release: · Fixes some hang-ups on some Illustrator files. Also any file Photoshop fixes the preview on will have it's original modification date restored.
