After much trial and error and some suggestions from others that got my investigation on the right track, I finally figured this out and fixed it. I had forgotten to mention in my original message that I also had changed CFBundleName and CFBundleDisplayName both to "Terminal-copy" in...

Yep. Since Apple takes such a paternalistic attitude towards the user base, it's often up to us, the geeks and hackers, to take the reins. :) .

¡Gracias, amigo! ... but I wish I was more proficient on the Mac. Anyway, I'm sure that Satcomer is just joking. Sometimes irony doesn't come through clearly in writing, but that's what the emoticon was for. ;) .

I figured it out. It turns out to be the warnOnShellCloseAction property. I need to set it to 0. I recently recreated the *.terminal files that I use to start up those Terminal sessions, and I now realize that somehow, I accidentally changed the setting of that property to 1 when it used to...

I'm running Snow Leopard. If I have a couple of Terminal sessions running and I try to quit both of them via the Quit Terminal entry in the Terminal menu, I get a dialog box with the following message: You have 2 windows with running processes. Do you want to review these windows before...

Well, this is now fixed. I had to go through the following steps twice before it started working again: I shut down both Xcode and Interface Builder. I deleted all of the plists and all of the preference files and directories for Xcode and Interface Builder (this is the list of items I...

I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.1), and I'm using version 3.2 of both Xcode and Interface Builder. I'm noticing that Interface Builder is not being kept in sync with my Xcode project when I add or alter outlets and actions and then do a Save. I always have to explicitly invoke Reload All Class...

I'm running Snow Leopard and I'm using Spaces, and I want to have different types of Terminal windows always show up in different Spaces. The way I was doing this in Leopard (and it worked great) was as follows: * Make an exact copy of Terminal.app that's called Terminal-copy.app * Go into...

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, it seems like we lost the capability to customize the date/time System Menu item as extensively as we used to be able to do in Leopard. In that previous OS version, we could customize a date/time format in the Language & Text formatting section, and we could...

Thanks for your tips. I had already performed the "nuke possible fix" you mentioned, but I must have not done it correctly the first time, because I did it again, and this time, I got my network working. So thank you! I forgot to mention that I'm using static IP with my machine, so OpenDNS...

I recently upgraded from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.1), and while most things are working fine, I'm now experiencing a networking problem that wasn't present under Leopard. Under Snow Leopard, when my machine starts up, networking seems to only be partially initialized. Networking...

You da man! Thank you very much. ... and in keeping with the language that your handle is in, ¡Muchísimas gracias, amigo! So now that this last loose end has been taken care of, tomorrow is going to be Upgrade To Snow Leopard Day. Hasta luego ... :) .

Hey, thank you! ... and I especially appreciate your offer to test some features. :) There is one feature that's important to me: the Single Session Tab feature. It lets you have multiple sessions in different tabs, as if each tab is a different browser. Here's how to test it: * Select...

I'm just about ready to upgrade to Snow Leopard, and there's just one last piece of info I need before doing so. I'm using the Stainless browser (http://www.stainlessapp.com/), and I don't know if it's compatible with Snow Leopard. I've tried to contact the support group at Mesa Dynamics to...

Thank you. Based on Caffeine's docs, it looks like you have to manually click on an icon to disable and then to re-enable the screen saver. I'm looking for these actions to occur automatically, which is possible with Jiggler, and also with the AppleScript I wrote. .

Here's a more efficient version of the script. Also, I gave some of the variables more meaningful names. Replace the script in step 6 with the following. Also, when saving the script as an Application in step 7, Stay Open now has to be checked. property idlePause : 5 -- how long to wait between...

OK. I have now written an AppleScript solution for this problem that I can use until Jiggler gets working under Snow Leopard, or until there is some other method I can use. Note that this works under 10.5.8 and any other Leopard and Snow Leopard versions where the plist files in...

I found out the answer ... or at least an answer: system_profiler | grep 'Hardware UUID' .

I'm running 10.5.8, and I have noticed in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost that the plist files now are all suffixed with a UUID instead of my machine's mac address. Is there a command I can run (via a Terminal session) which will return that UUID for my machine? Thanks in advance. .

Thank you for your suggestions. In reply to each of them ... 1. I want my screen saver to turn on after 3 minutes of idle time, except when QuickTime is running. 1-2 hours is too long. 2. I want my system to automatically detect when QuickTime is running so that I don't have to use any manual...
