resource & data file editor, picks up where ResEdit left off
Resorcerer is the premiere general-purpose commercial resource editor for Macintosh computers running System 8, 9, or Mac OS X. Relied upon by thousands of Mac developers all over the world, Resorcerer features a wealth of powerful yet easy-to-use tools for easier, faster, and safer editing of Macintosh data files and resources. Whether you have to parse a picture, change one bit in a 500MB data fork, write an AppleScript to patch or build a file, transfer resource-fork-based resources to data-fork-based resource files under Mac OS X, create a scripting dictionary, build icon suites with all 144 variant icons, change the structure of existing custom resources, debug an AppleEvent from another application, design and edit a custom resource with 40,000 fields in it, find every reference to a control, try out a dialog interface under Aqua, see a Unicode glyph, magnify the screen, disassemble some PowerPC instructions to English, or any of dozens of other resource- or data-related viewing and editing tasks, Resorcerer's magic will make you more productive and quickly save you time and money.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Resorcerer works well, but it needs some serious GUI work, both on appearance and behavior. The ominous OS 8 app icon is revealing - double click it and Resorcerer transports you back in time to OS 9. GUI layout and function is like something out of a bad Classic Mac OS dream, and instead of using informative toolbars or drawers, Resorcerer relies on the zooming rectangle effect to inform the user of actions and events.
Functionally, Resorcerer is fine, the app just needs more vanity. The lack of an OS X icon on a four year old application inspires little confidence. Is this abandonware? Does the developer even care if Resorcerer is polished? These are troubling questions for a $250+ application.
