- åLimitations
-
-
-
- Once a Finder alias file has been converted, it is no longer understood by
-
- Finder as anything other than a document belonging to the Maybe
-
- application. While its icon looks like that of the target item, it really has
-
- no association with the application which owns that item. Therefore, you
-
- cannot use drag-and-drop with a converted alias as you would with a
-
- regular Finder alias, neither as the source of the drag, nor as the target.
-
- Also, file dialogs posted by the owning application will not include the
-
- converted alias in the list of documents to open. It is possible that
-
- Apple’s Easy Open software extension will enable a later version of
-
- Maybe to overcome this limitation.

- åProgrammer Notes
-
-
-
- The countdown timer control which optionally appears in the Prompt
-
- dialog uses a special 'CDEF' and programming interface written by the
-
- author. If you would like to add countdown timers to your own
-
- applications, write to the author at the above address to get a copy of the
-
- developer’s package (resource, library, header file, and sample
-
- application source code).
