17096 - [feature] ASEncoder should accept folders in its interfaces

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P3)

Description

[Samir Gehani]

ASEncoder should have two new items in its File menu:

1> AppleSingle Encode Folder
   AS encode all files in arbitrary levels of nested folders if any candidate
   file has a resource fork (else leave it as is).

2> AppleSingle Decode Folder
   AS decode all files in arbitrary levels of nested folders if any candidate
   file is in AppleSingle format (else leave it as is).

The AppleScript interface will stay the same taking a typeFSS object. However,
the ASEncoder must determine if the FSSpec object is a folder. If so:

1> "encode" must behave as the "AppleSingle Encode Folder" item above.

2> "decode" must behave as the "AppleSingle Decode Folder" item above.

Handles arbitrary levels of nesting. Be careful: it munges invisibile files as
well!
