I can't see all the directories on Proper Tree (Windows)
rwneilands opened this issue · comments
The app opens fine but am I doing something wrong, all the standard stuff appears as in the acpi, drivers, kernel, tools but it looks like I'm missing a lot of directories, do I need to be on Linux or Mac to see the information, it's not a problem if I do I just thought I could do it from my daily driver machine
I'm not sure what you mean by directories in this context - but it looks like you've just performed an OC Snapshot into a blank document and then saved it. The OC Snapshot (as outlined in the FAQ) will walk the ACPI, Kexts, Tools, and Drivers folders and add/remove entries in ACPI -> Add, Kernel -> Add, Misc -> Tools, and UEFI -> Drivers respectively within the config.plist.

Very interesting, I used the sample.plist file and copy it over and renamed it like it said to and I downloaded all the required kexts, amls and efis, but I was really confused on what I was doing wrong, I eventually just went to google and found Ocat which is showing the stuff I couldn’t see before but the only thing now is I don’t have any nvram entries, I can get the usb to post to its start up, the built-in laptop keyboard and mouse don’t work but that’s fine for the moment I just want to get the installer to boot and the usb devices work fine, but when I click on macOS.dmg it loads the apple logo and the loading bar but that bar doesn’t move and I would look through verbose but I don’t have the nvram entries/arguments. Thanks for the assistance btw, I wasn’t sure if posting the issue here would get responded to.
The OC Snapshot function does not touch anything in the config.plist except for ACPI -> Add, Kernel -> Add, Misc -> Tools, and UEFI -> Drivers, so I'm quite confident that you snapshotted into a blank document, as that's all that's listed in the image you showed. After copying the Sample.plist over and renaming it to config.plist, did you open it in ProperTree via the File -> Open menu? Or just open a new document and snapshot?
Regarding OCAT, if you have issues with that software please post an issue on their github page. If you're looking for general help setting things up, github issue threads are not the place. Please move those types of requests to a forum or similar that is centered around providing that type of support.

Using ProperTree I opened the file with File > Open at the start it said Ctrl + R to select where the file was first, so I did that, but I got to point where in the screenshots on your instruction page I couldn’t do anymore because I was missing a lot of the settings, and I thought it was just a windows problem because you were doing all of it on a mac
Regarding the NVRAM problem, I was going to go over to their page for it and I have been looking elsewhere for what I’m supposed to do about it, do you mind having a look? I’ll attach a screenshot of ProperTree and what it’s telling me now that I can see what I was missing

I didn't send any screenshots, nor are there any in the readme on this repo. If you perform an OC Snapshot on the current config.plist you have opened in ProperTree in your above screenshot, does it remove those other elements?

Someone else must've made the guide [https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/]
Performing an OC Snapshot didn't do anything but expand everything out again

That is Dortania's install guide - they have resources for support linked within IIRC. Regardless, this is not a support forum for setting up a Hackintosh, and those types of questions should be moved to the correct forum/support resources.

Yes - that's the expected behavior; it walks the ACPI, Kexts, Tools, and Drivers folders and ensures they match what's in the config.plist at ACPI -> Add, Kernel -> Add, Misc -> Tools, and UEFI -> Driver respectively. I'm still quite sure that the original screenshot shows the result of OC Snpashotting into a blank doc - as PT's OC Snapshot code touches nothing in the config aside from those 4 locations I stated.
Unless there is an issue with ProperTree that can be reproduced, I'm inclined to believe it is not at fault in this case.

Ah okay, I'll close this and go to their support page, I'm not sure what I did for ProperTree to not show everything until after OCAT. Thanks a lot though it was very helpful.
