I googled a bit with no luck. I'm wondering if a tool exists that allows a user to paste in a chunk of valid JSON, click on any of its elements, and get returned the id (path) to that element. I prefer either a web app, a Chrome extension, or a OSX or X11 app. Windows would be last resort as I'd have to run it under Crossover. I could al...
I created a virtualenv environment with the --no-site-packages option. After activating the virtualenv, I noticed that importing psycopg2 at the "python" prompt would import the out of date system library I have but importing it at the "python2.6" prompt would import the newer version of the library I installed into the virtualenv. Why...

Under Windows, Shell_NotifyIcon does the job well except that when the user is running a full-screen application, the notification isn't shown. Though that may be the right thing in most of the cases, in my case I need to ensure the notification can be seen even...
I am a bit confused about what the best approach is to resize a JPEG file on disk and save the resized JPEG as a new file to disk (on Mac OS X with Cocoa). There are a number of threads about resizing, but I am wondering what approach to use. Do I need to use Core Graphics for this or is this framework "too much" for a simple operation a...
I'm trying to add some patterns to my .gitignore file to ignore *.mode1v3 and *.pbxuser files generated by Xcode. However, my app name has a space in it, so the files I want to ignore are in the Foo Bar.xcodeproj/ directory. Adding variants of these patterns don't seem to work: *.mode1v3 Foo Bar.xcodeproj/ Foo Bar.xcodeproj/*.mode1v3 Fo...

The latest beta is 2 years old. Most blog comments on Andy's website too. Is there a new version, living somewhere else? Or an alternative to Sparkle as a whole? It works for me now, I'm just wondering if there are going to be any further updates to Sparkle, or the promising SparkleCaster app. ...

Currently I have a trade off between having the app running in the tray but also shown in the dock and with a menu bar or to have (using the plist hack) the app run...

I want to write a simple menubar app for Mac OS X. The user will only want to use that app when Safari is opened. To not clutter the menubar unnecessarily, I want to hide and show the menubar icon depending on whether Safari is open or not. Is there maybe some notification that my app could register for? The only workaround I can imagin...
Hi Friends, I made a login script in Perl which has to run on Mac OS X clients and record the Logged in Directory Service user name. I tried using getlogin() , getpwuid($<) respectively. Now the problem is that since the login script runs as root on the system when the client logs in, getpwuid($<) always gives me the username as root....
