Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

Hey, not sure if this one is documented, but it totally increased the utility of Stacks for me:

--Open a stack, say in grid mode for Applications.
--Clicking cmd + an icon will reveal it in the finder.
--option + an icon will open the item in the background AND keep you Stack open, so you can open other things without closing the stack!
--option + cmd + an icon will reveal it behind your grid stack and keep the grid open.

Not too exciting but it's good news to me:

Not only can you start screen sharing session with the url vnc://ip.address which launches the authentication window, but you can bypass the authorization step by including it in the URL vnc://name:password@ip.address and be taken directly to the computer's screen. This is, of course, similar to a ftp url.

The downside is I assume the name and password would be sent in clear text, whereas I'd hope the authentication window would have some encryption in it. But still, for my office's ethernet LAN this will be good for me.

I envision a bookmark folder giving me all my clients' screens a single mouseclick away.

Cool themes: LeopardDocks.com

you mean this?

go before the apple legal team does it terminator thing...

Leopard's Safari has a new Inspect element information.

For example



Not sure if this was already known before. New to me.

LeopardDocks.com has a bit more to choose from.

yeah, but the leoparddocks.net ones actually look good.

Hello,

I change my permissions to no access to everyone. Now I cannot reboot!! Help!!

How do you get that?

Right-click on a web page and select "Inspect Element"

Someone told me that they couldn't get that either with Leopard. Might you have to have Dev tools installed?

I have a new 10.5 install and I don't see it. I'll install the Dev tools later today and try again.
My right click menu has:
Reload
Open in Dashboard
-----
View Source
Save Page As...
Print Page...

I have a "Inspect Element" in 10.4 it was a transparent black color. Now in 10.5 they changed it.

I've always installed dev tools because it always gave me extra modding and viewing options.

I'm guessing you have to enable the Debug menu first. TinkerTool will help you do that.

A Leopard compatible Pith Helmet is out. Every time I have to do without PH for a few days I realize how much I like it and how bad the internet is without it. Available via versiontracker.

Me too. But the developer was taking forever to update PH. Fortunately in the meantime I discovered SafariBock. Very nice. So nice actually, that I've replaced PH with it.

Command line bits I've been discovering...

Since Netinfo is gone,

dscl /Local/Default - replacement for nicl, you can do most of the same things after you open that (create /Users/test uid 503 and the like)

dsenableroot - Convenient way to enable the root user account.

systemsetup and networksetup include new features to make that initial setup easier if you want to do it via command line.

/etc/rc no longer exists, so you've gotta do it the long way. (with mach_init.d and SystemStarter)

Want to start up Directory Services from the command line so you can edit the local saved accounts from single user mode?

launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServicesLocal.plist

Since we're talking about the CLI, you should check out qlmanage. You can use it to invoke QuickLook right from the CLI.

I set up this alias for it:
[codex]ql ='qlmanage -p $1 &> /dev/null &'[/codex]

Wow, excellent tip. Thanks! This, coupled with Quicksilver means I can use 10.5's built-in ScreenSharing app rather than the slower Chicken of the VNC (which admittedly has served me very well up until now)

If you save the password in your keychain, you don't need to store it in the URL link. Means anyone who has physical access to your machine can still get VNC access to a remote one but at least they'll not have your VNC password.

Was that a reply to me? If so, I've had the debug menu in effect since Safari's inception.
Yeah I've been using Safariblock for a LONG time with good results. Never had any problems with it either.

BTW fix your dock woes...
