imovie question

[wescbrown]

Hi,

I recently (finally) upgraded to Jaguar. I found some things to be alot slower that prior to the upgrade. So I decided to tar up everything I wanted to keep and do a clean install, reformatting the hard drive. the speed difference was extremely significant. The only problem i have encountered was with imovie. I had tarred up a couple movie projects, but when i put them back onto the machine and untarred them imovie no longer recognizes them as movie projects. Anyone know why, or how I can correct it?

thanks,
Wes

Tar does not respect meta data (file creator codes) in the resource fork. There are numerous programs on VT to sort this.

thanks for the help, I ended up using SetFile utility from Developers Tools
