The title says it all. Im looking for a package editor that will let me replace, edit and delete contents of a package inside of any image file, including Cd and DVD mounted images (but arent actually on the disc media, so in theory they would be overwritable)
Thanks,
Pops
You can already do that within OS X as long as the image/media is writeable.
It's called right-click... show package contents.
You can edit anything you want in it from there just using Finder to navigate.
Get TinkerTool so you can see the hidden stuff.
it tells me i cant overwrite the file that i want to overwrite, it gives me this error:
Could not overwrite file.
So i thought ok, goto Get info and change the Read only to read/write. When i do, it gives me error code 195. task could not be completed
Look here for your exact error code.
-195 addRefFailed AddReference failed

That's not a "write" issue with the media.
hmm, any resolution to that? I have googled but have come up with nothing. The file is intact though, i checked
You may want to search the Apple Developer site. Nothing listed in OS X help at Apple.com other than the error code... no reference to a cause or fix. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=9805
GREAT SITE... NOT!!! Sorry.
Edit:
Here is the debuggers guide for OS X.

It may prove helpful.
hmm, thanks for the info. I was wondering though. There is a file that launces when i run this installer (final cut pro) and it has a variable in it that checks for "badmachines" and my imac g3 is on that list. I want to modify it with textedit and take my imac g3 off the list, but its not working, it wont over write. Is there a way to run a counter script when the installer launches that is a modified version of the file i copied off of the image, so that it would cancel out the image file?
Ahh... you're not gonna get around that one... it's looking for a G4 CPU.
Even if you managed to edit the PLIST file and save it, it would die.
lol cant i at least try?i mean, is it possible theoretically?
Not really... once the CPU specific calls are made, the app will shutdown.
I tried loading Final Cut Pro on my G3 iBook and got the same results... I did manage to patch the plist file with xcode tools, but once the app loaded, it came to an abrupt halt within about 5 seconds.
xcode is used to make a counterscript?
Within the xcode tool set is a plist editor. It does a much cleaner job of tweaking plist files than textedit.
And it updates resources properly as well.
Regardless, the actual executable for Final Cut Pro has validation code written into it that requires a G4 CPU and more specificaly, the presence of the Velocity engine (Altivec).
