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. To enable hidden files/folders in finder windows: Open Finder Open the Utilities folder Open a terminal window Copy and paste the following line in: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES Press return Now hold ‘alt’ on the keyboard and right click on the Finder icon Click on Relaunch You should find you will now be able to see any hidden files or folders. defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO Like this: Like Loading...

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.
Assembly Language for x86 Processors (6th Edition): Kip R. Irvine: 9780136022121: Amazon.com SuperCollider » About Paradigm Reborn | Creating an HTML signature in Apple Mail Tired of that plain text e-mail signature that I’ve been using for years, I recently endeavored to create something a bit more professional and refined for my e-mails. Apple Mail allows you to control the font, color, and even insert images (which are included as attachments) into a signature. But it doesn’t give you direct control of the HTML and CSS, nor does it provide a solution for including images in your e-mail without them being attachments. These limitations meant that I first had to design the HTML and CSS of my new signature outside of Mail, and then save that HTML file as a Mail signature. Here’s how it’s done. Designing the HTML/CSS From my experience designing HTML e-mail templates for FireFly Transmit , our e-mail campaign application, I was already familiar with the obstacles of designing HTML e-mails. Use tables for basic layout. Use inline CSS. Only use basic CSS properties. Use absolute URLs. Link to images. Exclude HTML, HEAD, and BODY tags. Quit Mail . Re-open Mail .
QEMU Mac OS X… Success! - Mike Levin It’s time for for me to create an up-to-date QEMU on Mac OS X. I had wonderful success yesterday getting QEMU compiled and installed on my Commodore 64x running Linux Ubuntu beta 12.10 yesterday. I’m working from home today on my Macbook Air laptop, so I’ll today, I’m doing it for Mac. My goal is to make the best portable Linux for USB drives that works across Mac, Windows and Linux. I did this before in a proof-of-concept Levinux, cobbling together QEMU binaries from different sources, with inconsistent versions and unencapsulated dependencies. First, we look at the options for getting QEMU on a Mac, and inevitably you end up on the website for a project named “Q”, which has a lot of great characteristics in how it was made to look and work well with the Mac—except that it’s old, and the self-contained packages it creates are very difficult to follow and organize side-by-side with the files required for the other platforms. First thing is what compiler I’m going to use. …on Mac. . ==> .
