Show hidden files Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and 10.8 Mountain Lion - The home of Mike Hudson So, prior to my upgrade to OS X 10.7 all of my OS related hacks where done using third party tools such as Secrets Prefpane. However, I have decided to try and avoid third party apps as much as possible, and actually try and keep my Lion install as slim as possible. Although this article was originally written for OS X Lion, the command has been tested and proved to work in Mountain Lion and Mavericks as well So here’s my first of what will soon be many OS X terminal commands to do what the third party apps do, without the bloat/overhead.

Disable Mac Mail.app Inline Image Attachments | Micah Gilman's Blog I’ve found this to be a real annoyance, especiallly with a business where I have to send images in emails often. Mail.app by default displays images inline, and most email clients won’t recognize them as attachments. If you right click (or ctrl click with a one button mouse) on the image you can select to view the image as icon, which makes it behave like a normal attachment. To make this the default behavior you’ll need to use the Terminal to set the preference. Terminal is in Applications>Utilities. defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes That will make every attachment you send act like an attachment instead of a pretty unusable decoration. If you decide this isn’t what you’re looking for, to restore inline attachment viewing type: defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false Restart Mail and you’re back to normal.
