Converting to LiveCode • Re: To open HyperCard Stacks with one command

Thank you for answering my newbie question.
Unfortunately, the Livecode ICON in the dock did not respond when I tried to drag and drop a HyperCard stack. The converted Livecode stack responds fine and can be opened.
I tried MacOS 12_7_6 (Monterey) ,Livecode 10_0_0.

"But, I need to convert a stack of numerous HyperCards."
I meant to say, “but I need to convert numerous HyperCard stacks.” That is what I meant. I missed the google translation error because the Japanese language is ambiguous about plural and singular expressions.
Ah I've been wondering about that, so LC team did fix the HyperCard importing in Mac v10, nice! That was broken from > LC 6.5.2 iirc. Probably many stacks lose things from they Mac Classic 'resource-fork' on newest macOS's that do not support the resource fork fully anymore (that was deprecated by Apple like two decades ago.).

There is also a handy tool called HyperCard Preview available on Github, that's written with Swift and so supports latest macOSes. That can even view HC-'protected' stacks, extract some resources like PICTs, and ICONs.
