ChooserHack
by Nick Kledzik
for MacHack 93
The Chooser sucks (Duh!). So I rewrote it. A folder is created on the desktop
called “The Network”. In it is a folder for every zone on the network. In
each zone folder is a folder for each AFP file server. In each server folder
is an alias to each volume.
To reduce network traffic, server folders and volume alias are not created until
the user explicitly forces it. If the user opens a zone/server folder by double
clicking or Cmd-0, then ChooserHack looks on the network and updates the folder
contents. In list view, if the user clicks on the triangle-thingy to show the
contents of the folder, ChooserHack does NOT sync to the network.
To reduce disk usage, volume alias are not filled. They only take up catalog space.
When a user double clicks or Cmd-O an empty alias, it is filled in with a real
alias.
