What's Missing in Resorcerer 2.4?
The carbonized version of Resorcerer 2.4 is missing some of the features available in the
Classic version (however, we're shipping both). In particular, we are still working on new
editors for the last few the older color
graphic resource formats ('cicn' and 'ppat' resources). The free updater to version 2.4.1
installs the new 'crsr'
editor. To edit 'cicn' and 'ppat' resources, you will have to
run the Classic version of Resorcerer 2.4 in the Classic or Mac OS 9 environment.
The Carbonized version of Resorcerer no longer supports 68K resource display or
filtering code resources. We've compiled in our own Showers and Filters, but third-party code
resources will only continue to work in the Classic version of Resorcerer.
We are working on a new architecture for supporting these types of
extensibility.
Plug-in apprentices are similarly not yet working. Again, we have compiled all of our own into
the Carbonized application, but third-party plug-ins (of which there are very few) will have
to wait. So far nobody has complained.
