I've figured out the basic events for Folder Action scripts. I wrote a script that prints out a list of the files that are moved to a folder. It works fine. However, what I've been trying to figure out for the last week is how to get the original paths of the files before they were put into...

I wrote my program (see sig) without a Document-Based framework because it wasn't flexible enough for my needs without subclassing every class anyway. I just separated my main window Nib from the MainMenu Nib and create a new instance whenever I need too, it's actually very easy this way...

Did you try doing a search in the Finder for VLC?

Beige G3s aren't officially supported. The one I have doesn't work with Panther. Panther says it requires built-in USB... mine didn't have it.

Ha, yeah, I was being sarcastic... should've included the rolly eyes. :) Heck, even in Windows I've always avoided WMA in favor of MP3s. I never though WMA was all that great and I always hated Media Player, especially the later versions that took up the whole screen.

That's hilarious. I read the original version and laughed... since when was WMA a PC standard? But it's even funnier that they changed it. I wonder what brought that on...

This may sound stupid... but what do you use for a username/password?

If make and gcc aren't installed, you need to install your Developer Tools. Free with OS X. Include Xcode, Interface Builder, and everything else you need. For web stuff, I use BBEdit, but that's not free. I've never used graphical tools, but if you're looking for a free text editor with...

Totally different architectures. Why do you ask? What are you looking to do with it?

My compiler class in college involved a lot of work with Lexx and Yacc to parse our "language" (it was extremely simplistic) and then covert them into assembly which could then be passed to another program to covert it into machine code. I never actually got to the assembly part, it took me the...

I'd like to find a way to have my program get notified when a user moves a file in the Finder to another folder, so that I could find the original path before the file gets copied to its new location. I'm guessing that this really isn't possible. Since I'm using Cocoa, I've been looking into...

How would I go about handling a key down even in a program that runs in the background like Konfabulator does with it's F8 key?

Do you have all of your music tagged properly? If so, drag & drop the folders of music you want to copy to iTunes, it will import them into your ~/Music/iTunes/ by default and organize them into folders by artist and album. Just make sure not to copy playlists... because for some reason iTunes...

I actually have the opposite, when I'm away from our network I can receive but not send. I found out that even though our ISP doesn't require SMTP authentication to send mail, that if I enter it in, I can send from anywhere. Just an idea, doesn't hurt to try it out.

http://www.macminute.com/2004/08/31/vpc7 Says it takes advantage of the Mac's graphics card... hopefully to it's fullest potential. I want to see my 64MBs show up in Windows. :)

I despise websites that do browser checking... it's one thing to let you know that the site might not be compatible, but chances are that your "rare" web browser would work just fine with the proper plugins. My mom wanted to look at HGTV's website the other day and it told her that the...

You can open your address book from inside Mail as well, as a floating panel. Unless I need someone's phone number, I just type their name in and select what address I want to send to. I've been trying to like Entourage, I have a small business and wanted my contacts, email, and calendar all...

I'd have to see it in person, but I really liked the swivel stand for the last iMacs... I liked being able to move the screen anywhere I want with a touch of my finger. Plus, it looked "cuter". I don't know about the huge bezel around the screen... it looks like Apple took a step backward...

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjCTutorial/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40000863 I followed this before buying the "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" book by Hillegass. It was really boring, but it was a good basic intro to the dev tools and Objective-C.

Since you're learning on a Mac and want to be able to work up to Objective-C. I would suggest finding a good book that you can understand on C. It doesn't need to be a Mac-specific book. You may still need a few pointers on using the Mac tools, but if the C book uses Unix for its examples...
