It would be a surprise to me if WPF is supported on the Mac...

According to the documentation not:

Visual Studio for Mac does not support Windows client projects like Windows Forms, WPF, or UWP.

WPF and others are not, but many other project types can use resx files.

All the ResXManager GUI is implemented in WPF, someone who wants to port this will have to write a new GUI :disappointed:

I wrote an extension (based on another project that didn't work) for visual studio for mac to edit resx files. It is really basic and I would love for it to be more like your resxManager (I used it on windows).
If you can use any of the GUI in my project feel free to take a look.

I will try to improve it too if I find the time.. One day.. 😄

Aaaaaaah yeah, I would love this as I currently work only on a Mac. I wish I was in a position to work on this - perhaps I'll loop back around in the future.

Apart from this limitation, you've created a really cool extension. Hopefully, I can use it someday. 🙂

Why only MacOS? .NET is now cross-platform, and it's time to consider Linux too.

It is much more feasible to invest in an technology like GtkSharp to port this project.

If someone's interested, let me know.

@knuxbbs just had a look at GtkSharp samples - felt like a time travel back into the 1990 where we had to write GUI like this :smirk:
So much luck porting this app...
