*************************************************************************************** GetFileTypesThatAppCanNativelyOpen This routine returns a list of all FileTypes that an application can open by itself Enter: appVRefNumHint volume where application resides (can be wrong, and if is, will be used as a starting point) appSignature signature (creator) of application nativeTypes pointer to a buffer to be filled with up to 64 FileTypes Exit: nativeTypes zero terminated array of FileTypes that can be opened by app
*************************************************************************************** ExtendFileTypeList This routine makes a new list of file types that can be translated into a type in the given list Used by StandardFile Enter: originalTypeList pointer to list of file types that can be opened numberOriginalTypes number of file types in orgTypeList extendedTypeList pointer to a buffer to be filled with file types numberExtendedTypes max number of file types that can be put in extendedTypeList Exit: extendedTypeList buffer filled in with file types that can be translated numberExtendedTypes number of file types put in extendedTypeList
*************************************************************************************** This routine checks if a file can be opened by a particular application. If so, it returns if it needs to be translated first, and if so then how. The FileTypes that the app can open are specified by nativelyOpenableTypes, or if it is NULL, GetFileTypesThatAppCanNativelyOpen is called. Enter: targetDocument document to check if it can be opened appVRefNumHint vRefNum of application to open doc ( can be wrong, and if is, will be used as a starting point) appSignature signature (creator) of application to open doc nativeTypes zero terminated list of FileTypes app can open natively, or NULL to use default list onlyNative whether to consider if document can be translated before opening howToOpen pointer to buffer in which to put how the document can be opened howToTranslate pointer to buffer in which to put a FileTranslationSpec record Exit: howToOpen whether file needs to be translated to be read howToTranslate if file can be translated, buffer filled in with how to translate returns noErr, noPrefAppErr
*************************************************************************************** GetFileTranslationPaths This routine returns a list of all ways a translation can occure to or from a FileType. The app is checked to exist. The hint for each app is the VRefNum and DTRefNum Enter: srcDoc source file or NULL for all matches dstDoc destination FileType or 0 for all matches maxResultCount resultBuffer Exit: number of paths
*************************************************************************************** GetPathFromTranslationDialog This routine, with a given document, application, and a passed typelist will display the Macintosh Easy Open translation dialog allowing the user to make a choice. The choice made will be written as a preference (so the next call to CanDocBeOpened() will work). The routine returns the translation path information. Enter: theDocument FSSpec to document to open theApplication FSSpec to application to open document typeList Nil terminated list of FileType's (e.g. SFTypeList-like) of types you would like the documented translated to. Order most perferred to least. Exit: howToOpen Translation method needed to open document howToTranslate Translation specification returns Any errors that might occur.
*************************************************************************************** TranslateFile This routine reads a file of one format and writes it to another file in another format. The information on how to translated is generated by the routine CanDocBeOpened. TranslateFile calls through to the TranslateFile Extension's DoTranslateFile routine. The destination file must not exist. It is created by this routine. Enter: sourceDocument input file to translate destinationDocument output file of translation howToTranslate pointer to info on how to translate Exit: returns noErr, badTranslationSpecErr
*************************************************************************************** GetDocumentKindString This routine returns the string the Finder should show for the "kind" of a document in the GetInfo window and in the kind column of a list view. Enter: docVRefNum The volume containing the document docType The catInfo.fdType of the document docCreator The catInfo.fdCreator of the document kindString pointer to where to return the string Exit: kindString pascal string. Ex: "\pSurfCalc spreadsheet" returns noErr, or afpItemNoFound if kind could not be determined
*************************************************************************************** GetTranslationExtensionName This routine returns the translation system name from a specified TranslationSpec Enter: translationMethod The translation path to get the translation name from Exit: extensionName The name of the translation system returns Any errors that might occur
*************************************************************************************** GetScrapDataProcPtr This is a prototype for the function you must supply to TranslateScrap. It is called to get the data to be translated. The first call TranslateScrap will make to this is to ask for the 'fmts' data. That is a special. You should resize and fill in the handle with a list all the formats that you have available to be translated, and the length of each. (See I.M. VI 4-23 for details of 'fmts'). It will then be called again asking for one of the formats that 'fmts' list said was available. Enter: requestedFormat Format of data that TranslateScrap needs. dataH Handle in which to put the requested data srcDataGetterRefCon Extra parameter for you passed to TranslateScrap Exit: dataH Handle is resized and filled with data in requested format
*************************************************************************************** TranslateScrap This routine resizes the destination handle and fills it with data of the requested format. The data is generated by translated one or more source formats of data supplied by the procedure srcDataGetter. This routine is automatically called by GetScrap and ReadEdition. You only need to call this if you need to translated scrap style data, but are not using the ScrapMgr or EditionMgr. Enter: sourceDataGetter Pointer to routine that can get src data sourceDataGetterRefCon Extra parameter for dataGetter destinationFormat Format of data desired destinationData Handle in which to store translated data Exit: dstData Handle is resized and filled with data in requested format
