Structured Storage Explorer ability to show OLEProperties of all /u0005 streams #198
base: master
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
Thank you @farfilli for your example. Your use case is really interesting and I'm really glad you shared this usage but I have some concerns about sensitive data included in those test files. Is it possible for you to create fully "synthetic" examples, without specific informations related to any business/activity or specific items? I think that the change allowing all 005 streams to be visible as ole properties should be included as an "opt-in" from the GUI since I don't think this is a documented feature in specifications of the compound format and it's not a "general" rule (even if it works for sure in this case!) but I prefer to hear some comment from @Numpsy or @jeremy-visionaid or anybody else interested in this project. Many thanks for your patience @farfilli . |
I used Solid Edge for several years at work. About eight years ago while writing a tool to index file references I found this project and used it to read file references. So I'm a bit familiar with the data in the files. I'm not current however, unfortunately we switched to another CAD system a few years back; last version was 2019. Anyway, there are plenty of the .par, .asm, .dft, etc files shared in the public domain. For example, in Solid Edge user groups/forums and Solid Edge's online tutorials where they provide example files for down load. I respect the concern though of what exactly is safe to re-share in public domain. Typically the risk of sharing CAD files is more about the design IP that might be contained in the model or drawing. I didn't find anything condemning or condoning the reverse engineering of the stores and streams in these files. |
Is it worth having a 'load current stream as OLE properties' button in the UI that could try to load properties from any stream on demand? |
Thank you @nemecben for the comment. I agree with you. My concerns are indeed about the specific files, not about the general use of public domain examples or specific example files created with Solid Edge that I would prefer to use as test files for this interesting use case. |
This is exactly what I had in my mind. |
Those files come from the Solid Edge training folder and shouldn't contain any sensitive data. Perhaps the name of the original author is there, it can be changed in a general string. Thanks for the attention Francesco |
This files do not contain any IP and or Personal data
I have removed all personal data and the geometry is just cubes that don't contain any IP. |
Thank you @farfilli. Thank you! I would really like to include some examples for this use case and that's why I would be sure to be hassle-free on this point. Federico |
