Hello,

I am trying to extract resources from several classic Mac applications, but the buttons in the resource fork tab do not seem to do anything.

Example: A freeware Mac program called "99 Bottles" (which sings the infamous "99 Bottles of Beer" song at various speeds) contains several sound files. Here are the steps I take to attempt to extract one:

  1. Open volume containing 99 Bottles (specifically an HFV for SheepShaver)
  2. Right-click on 99 Bottles and click "Information" (alternatively, click on 99Bottles and then click "Info" button)
  3. Go to "Resource fork" tab
  4. Click on a snd file with the name "billion"
  5. Click "Save to File"
  6. Select the location where I want to save
  7. Name the file "billion.snd"
  8. Go to location I selected
  9. The location is empty

Expected behavior: It should have saved a file with the name I gave it in the place I specified.

Also, the "View as Text" button doesn't seem to do anything either.

HFSExplorer: 0.23.1, Build 230100 (latest)
OS: Windows 10, Build 1903
Java Runtime Environment: 1.8.0_261 (EDIT: Installed that version after original post; update did not fix it)

Any help would be appreciated!
