So, like, the file system supports this neat thing called file comments, and the
Finder is nice enough to display them in Get Info windows.
But why did Apple stop there? Since file comments contain useful information
about files, the standard file dialogs should let users access them as well.
This INIT goes halfway to solving that problem (hence the 0.5 version number).
It will display file comments in the standard file open dialog for all files
that are on a hard disk. Unfortunately, it does not display folder comments,
and does not show comments for files on volumes without a desktop database
(i.e. floppies). Also, it only works with the 6.0 standard file calls, not the
new 7.0 ones. But, hey, don't whine--I wrote this in three hours at MacHack!
The next version will allow you to add file comments in the file save dialog.
This INIT only works under system 7.0. You'll probably crash and die if you
use it under System 6.0.
This INIT is totally free.
