VS for Mac Support

[MisterJimson]

Just as title says. Would be great to have this extension on VS for Mac.

It would be a surprise to me if WPF is supported on the Mac...

According to the documentation not:

Visual Studio for Mac does not support Windows client projects like Windows Forms, WPF, or UWP.

[MisterJimson]

WPF and others are not, but many other project types can use resx files.

[tom-englert]

All the ResXManager GUI is implemented in WPF, someone who wants to port this will have to write a new GUI 😞

I wrote an extension (based on another project that didn't work) for visual studio for mac to edit resx files. It is really basic and I would love for it to be more like your resxManager (I used it on windows).
If you can use any of the GUI in my project feel free to take a look.

I will try to improve it too if I find the time.. One day.. 😄

Aaaaaaah yeah, I would love this as I currently work only on a Mac. I wish I was in a position to work on this - perhaps I'll loop back around in the future.

Apart from this limitation, you've created a really cool extension. Hopefully, I can use it someday. 🙂

Why only MacOS? .NET is now cross-platform, and it's time to consider Linux too.

It is much more feasible to invest in an technology like GtkSharp to port this project.

If someone's interested, let me know.

[tom-englert]

@knuxbbs just had a look at GtkSharp samples - felt like a time travel back into the 1990 where we had to write GUI like this 😏
So much luck porting this app...

With .net maui I guess it's now easier no? cross plateform and .xaml

[tom-englert]

If you can convince the VS team to rewrite everything in MAUI first...
