Macfuse - The Easiest and Fastest Way to Create File Systems for Mac O (...)

Please Note: This project is no longer being maintained. We cannot currently help with any lion (or any large feline) related bugs or issues. The MacFuse google group is a decent resource for finding forks/replacement projects. MacFUSE allows you to extend Mac OS X's native file handling capabilities via 3rd-party file systems. It is used as a software building block by dozens of products. As a user, installing the MacFUSE software package will let you use any 3rd-party file system written atop MacFUSE. As a developer, you can use the MacFUSE SDK to write numerous types of new file systems as regular user-mode programs. In more technical terms, MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X (10.4 and above). The MacFUSE software consists of a kernel extension and various user-space libraries and tools. To see some examples of MacFUSE at work, see the videos linked on the right.

Tutoriales Photoshop Patchburn Homepage Taming Mac OS X File Systems Posted by Amit Singh, Mac Engineering Manager Google is a fantastic company to work for. I could cite numerous reasons why. FUSE makes it possible to implement a very functional file system in a normal program rather than requiring a complex addition to the operating system. One of the missions of the Google Macintosh team is to contribute to the Mac community and make the Mac OS X experience better for users and developers. The MacFUSE implementation Google is releasing today includes the following components: A virtual file system (VFS) kernel extensionA special-purpose mount_fusefs programA patch to the FUSE user-space libraryA patch to the SSHFS file systemMore details on using and developing for MacFUSE are available on the project's Google Code page. Small disclaimer: Please note that MacFUSE is a complex piece of software, and it is a work in progress. Finally, I would like to express my thanks to the FUSE developers for having created FUSE in the first place.

A selection of Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts A common complaint users of other operating systems have about Mac OS X is its perceived lack of keyboard shortcuts. Many think you have to use the mouse for nearly everything in Mac OS X. I see many people who have switched from Windows to Mac do this while muttering about the lack of keyboard commands. As a long-time Mac user and someone who likes to avoid touching the mouse as much as possible, I can tell you that this is about as far from the truth as you can get. Granted, some of the shortcuts are pretty obscure since they don’t appear in menus – you have to know them to use them. In the tables below, the Option key is the key that has either “⌥”, “Opt” or “Alt” printed on it. There are many, many more (see Apple’s Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts document for a more exhaustive list of the default commands), and many are completely customisable as well.

VirtualBox MacFUSE: New Frontiers in File Systems by Scott Knaster 03/06/2007 If you're a typical Mac programmer or user, chances are your main concern with files is reading from and writing to them, opening and saving them. You probably haven't thought much about adding support for other file systems or actually implementing your own file system from scratch—why on earth would you want to do that? Well, no matter what kind of Mac user you are, there's a new development in the somewhat arcane world of file systems that's bound to be interesting to you: MacFUSE. Simply put, MacFUSE takes something that was incredibly hard—adding new file systems to Mac OS X—and makes it much, much easier. In this article, I'll explain why file system support is generally hard, how MacFUSE makes it easier, and why you should care. So what's all this fuss about file systems? A traditional file system provides a way of organizing information on your disks so that programs can have access to them. Compatibility. Note that MacFUSE is not just for programmers.

Top 100 Essential Mac Applications Hey I love my Mac and I have hundreds of applications installed on it. As a result I wanted to do a post on what I believe are the top 100 Mac applications that are essential to any user. I’ve picked a variety of applications that I could think of. I have tried to go for the cheaper free option, but quite a few you have to pay for. Each application will be split into a couple of major sections. If you want to take your knowledge of Mac apps a bit further I recommend these two books on Amazon, Cool Mac Apps and The Little Mac Book they have got some raving reviews and are probably a good read. Computer Files This section is all about programs that can be used to work with files and applications 1) AppFresh Software updater is great for Apple applications, but appfresh has the ability to check third party apps for updates. 2) AppZapper Although applications are easy to uninstall on a mac there are usually small preference files hanging about. 5) OpenPlist 12) Xslimmer Give your mac a diet.
