Unix comunication with Windows 8.1
Posted: Mon May 26, 2014 5:28 pm
So as of windows 8.1, the built in unix reader has been cut off... In the end this means documents with Mac and Linux encoding will become corupted. I'm already seeing effects due to this since i use blender and the obj and mtl formats and txt files cant be read/converted properly without using notepad++.
so here's an idea, we need a GUI program where the backround tasks start at boot. but the program can be acsessed via an exicutable.
here this program will have 2 options
#! dynamic translate:
this will take the unix code and transmit it to DOS, simaler to Wine.
#2 rewrite the files to become DOS based:
now unix2dos does this, but it uses comand prompt. and trust me, myself and many others are noobs when it comes to the comand prompt. so the software will find and convert file types you choose.
so that's my thoughts. Now notepadd++ does this and i think it's open source, so we could use it as reference.
So you guys think this could be pulled off?
