Adding triggers to SmartPorts software
Adding triggers to SmartPorts software
Mitchell Yawitz was having trouble getting Momentum's SmartPorts software to work with his Kodak DC200 digital camera. He found a solution, using ResEdit to add a new "trigger." He writes: "It seems that Momentum simply did a survey of all the applications, drivers, etc. that they could find, and shipped the extension with those triggers predefined. I was successful in adding a trigger for the application in question using ResEdit (in my case, Type "APPL", creator "Kpta")."
Here are the step-by-step details for adding triggers to SmartPorts (always work with a copy of the file!):
- Open SmartPorts™ extension in ResEdit
- Select Resource/Open TRIG Picker. The four resources (4, 5, 6, 7) list the triggers for the four ports (1, 2, 3, 4).
- Edit the resource for to the desired port (Resource/Open Resource Editor)
- Scroll to the bottom, and select the last line
- Insert New Field (Resource/Insert New Field)
- Enter the Type and Creator for the desired trigger.
- Save and Close
- Drop the patched version into the extensions folder and reboot.
