    Applescript Finder-desktop question

    The directory ~/Desktop and the background do not share the same Finder layout and view options. The contents are the same, as expected. I am looking to alter the background layout. I also noticed the Finder ain't recordable!

    Cleaner 6 vs. iTunes

    Supporting multiple processors is easy. Writing code for the vector processing unit requires more work. Could Cleaner not be optimized for the Altivec?

    Please help VPC

    Not to be critical but please check spelling and grammar. I had some trouble understanding your last post. Inside of Windows there are garbage collection routines. Not certain where to go, but you can tell Windows to delete temp and cache files. That may help. How was the drive formatted NTFS...

    Please help VPC

    From the Finder do a Get Info on the C drive disk image. Windows is using a file on your hard disk as its virtual hard disk. You can find out where it is from the VPC settings dialog. The file size is the approximate Window's hard drive size. Now, how was the disk image created? The Windows...

    WinTel for OSX

    I do not know the fat of VPC. Microsoft wanted the virtual machine technology for other reasons. Nearly every VPC sold is another MS operating system sold. I doubt they will kill the money source. Wintell CD was ordered yesterday. $30 is well worth the gamble to see if it is as usable and...

    Please help VPC

    Are you talking about the physical Mac drive or the VPC disk image? What does the properties on the C drive tell you? Did you initialize the disk image as fixed or expanding?

I was thinking that a thread dedicated to cool or interesting things people have done in iMovie would be useful to us amateur video folk. They can be simple or complex I had made a previous post on how to blend...

    Die Ken Burns Effect! Die!

    Matthew - whenever I drag an image from anywhere to either the clip pane or story-board, it is converted to a DV clip. How do you get it to not do the conversion? BTW, My project started acting weird once I used the autoApplyPanZoomToImportedStills=false option. I guess there is no UI for this...

    X Stable??

    OS X is more stable than OS 9 in some ways, and less in others. OS X reminds me of Win NT (which is loosely based on VMS). When I was an NT admin, I had some NT systems that never crashed--I mean never. Apps would occasionally die, but I never saw BSOD. I had other systems that crashed...
