Tuxera NTFS 2010.7 | Mac OS X | 5.8 MB

Mac OS X does not support writing to Microsoft Windows formatted NTFS volumes out-of-the box. The fix is here. Tuxera NTFS for Mac is our commercial read/write NTFS solution for Mac users. It builds upon the proven stability of Tuxera’s popular open source NTFS-3G to deliver a full featured, commercial grade NTFS driver for your Mac. With Tuxera NTFS for Mac you can access your Windows disks as easily as any Mac disk. Tuxera NTFS for Mac delivers the fastest NTFS data transfer speeds you can have on Mac while protecting your data with its new, smart caching layer.

This new version brings some important features for Tuxera’s commercial NTFS software for Mac OS X. Most importantly, extended attributes are now fully enabled and mapped to Alternate Data Streams if you are running Mac OS X 10.5 or higher.

Extended attributes is a way of appending more than one data stream to a file, and this mechanism is used in Mac OS X for various things such as Finder information, the legacy “resource forks”, quarantine flags and much more.
In previous versions of Tuxera NTFS for Mac, extended attributes were supported but only using a compatibility mechanism storing them inside files starting with ‘._’ (called AppleDouble files), just like it is done with FAT32 file systems. This means that all files that had extended attributes applied to them also had a supplementary file created in the same directory holding those attributes. This does not happen any more. Instead, extended attributes are stored as Alternate Data Streams in NTFS, and can be accessed from within Windows using standard methods. The extended attributes are fully compatible with Mac OS X’s own NTFS driver and Windows Server’s “Services for Macintosh” extension (now discontinued).

Along with these changes there have been numerous other fixes, for instance:
* Fix for a rare issue where Tuxera NTFS for Mac could ‘hijack’ the mounting of certain unformatted media.
* Storing the Mac OS X backup timestamp is now supported.
* Preference pane is partly rewritten to be more robust and to leave no zombie processes behind.

System requirements:
Mac Platform: UB
OS version: 10.4
