Hmmm,
if the filename is, for example, "te=st.zip" and the comment line is "te=st.zip=helpme" HFS do not display the comment.
I think that HFS assumes that the comment follows directly after the equal char, correct ?
In the case described above HFS do not display a comment because he do not find the filename "te".
To avoid that problem HFS and also a comment editor must search in "hfs.comments.txt":
1. for the filename
and if true
2. for a equal char behind the filename and everything behind until the end is part of the comment.
Since i start coding i am at war with macros and script languages, so i don't understand much of your friendly explanation.
Anyway, i understand the macro you supplied.
But i don't see how a macro can solve the filename with equal char behaviour inside "hfs.comments.txt".
mars, please be so kind and give me a hint ...
Don't hesitate to correct me if i'm completly wrong.
