Feature request: Read/write images: create folders, drag/drop files, delete files #30

Hello, I am struggling to transfer files from the web to my Macintosh SE/30.
The current process is too-cumbersome: use TransMac on windows to write the file on a floppy, and then use the floppy on the Macintosh.
I recently built a RaScsi device that allows me to mount an HFS image file as a separate partition on the Mac. Works great.
But now how do I add files to the HFS image file, on a modern computer?
I tried "hfsprogs" on ubuntu, but it corrupts the hfs image file, so it's of no use.
I will appreciate if HFS Explorer can do this: drag/drop files e.g from "Windows Explorer" into the HFS Explorer window, and copy them onto the HFS image.
Basilisk II is supposed to have such feature on windows (show the windows "My Computer" as a separate hard drive in Basilisk), but it doesn't show up for me.

Adding files to HFS(+/X) filesystems, while highly desirable, requires a lot more work. HFSExplorer is a read-only tool for now, and while I've had plans in the past for read/write functionality I've never had the time to implement all the required B-tree logic. So while we kan keep this issue open, it's a huge task and won't be completed in the foreseeable future.
