Sector - Raw HFS Disk Image Creator & Editor

[davecom]

Hi All,
I released a new little Mac app called Sector for creating and editing HFS disk images on modern macOS (11.5+). This is to make it easier to work with disk images on your modern Mac for emulators like mini vMac and Basilisk II, or virtual disk devices like Blue SCSI, Zulu SCSI, and Floppy Emu.

It can automatically deal with resource forks (wrapping in MacBinary or Binhex) when exporting files from the disk image. It can set type/creator codes. It can choose a blessed folder (although it cannot make a disk image bootable in the first place).

You can learn more about it here:

Here are five promo codes for a free copy for the Tinker different community:

Please make sure to backup any disk images with valuable data before editing them with Sector. Sector comes with no guarantee that a bug won't hurt your data! Any edits you make to disk image with Sector are irreversible. Note it is not compatible with HFS+.

Thank you for this new and very useful app.
After a quick test, I can report that it doesn't like file names with accented characters:

The missing letter is an e with acute accent (é)

Trying to open a folder with such name will make Sector unresponsive (endless beachball pointer).

Thank you. That's a big bug. Thanks for reporting it. Is it possible for you to provide me the exact disk image so I can recreate it?
