Moapp also found a Terminal command that can bring your library folder back into focus. Open the Terminal and type: chflags nohidden /Users/[username]/Library/ Alternatively, reader PBenz pointed out that you can hold the Option key when clicking Finder’s Go menu to make a hidden Library option appear, as pictured.

find

Syntax find [-H | -L | -P] [-EXdsx] [-f pathname] [pathname ...] expression Options -E Interpret regular expressions followed by -regex and -iregex options as extended (modern) regular expressions rather than basic regular expressions (BRE's). The re_format(7) manual page fully describes both formats. -H The -H option causes the file information and file type (see stat(2)) returned for each symbolic link specified on the command line to be those of the file referenced by the link, not the link itself.

If the referenced file does not exist, the file informa- tion and type will be for the link itself. File information of all symbolic links not on the command line is that of the link itself. BUGS The special characters used by find are also special characters to many shell programs. The -delete primary does not interact well with other options that cause the filesystem tree traversal options to be changed. $ find / \!

Clearing your Launchpad Before you do this, realize that this command will delete data. So, most people might not need to do this, but the default behaviour for the Launchpad in Lion is to basically add every .app file within your user and system Applications folders, as well as whatever is in ~/Downloads, apparently. Anyhow, here’s what you do to clear out those pesky apps in your Launchpad. Products : Marten&trade IDE 1.4. Draw code.

It's as easy as "connect the dots". When you create a method, you draw on a canvas called a "case". A case initially contains two operations, an input bar at the top which provides data to your case and an output bar at the bottom which sends your data onto other cases. Add additional operations and then link them all together. Write while you run. Forget to take the garbage out. Marten has class. Create editors for your objects directly within Marten. Push the Button. Try it for yourself. System Requirements The latest version of the Marten IDE requires MacOS X 10.6.8 or better. MacOS is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Co.
