I have navigated to the work folder (the check out folder for the project) and i can run the commands i...
I'm developing on Snow Leopard and going through the various "how tos" to get the MySQLdb package installed and working (uphill battle). Things are a mess and I'd like to regain confidence with a fresh, clean, as close to factory install of Python 2.6. What folders should I clean out? What should I run? What symbolic links should I...

I'm trying to get Photoshop CS4 to open a folderful of JPEG images with AppScript+Python, which could be described like so in BASH: #!/bin/bash for F in `ls ~/Desktop/test`; do open -a "Adobe Photoshop CS4" $F # proceed to mutilate the image appearance done I'm f...

I'm developing a web application in PHP, and my Macbook, running Snow Leopard, is actually sending emails when PHP's mail() function is called. It's emailing customers, and that's BAD. I COULD prevent this in my code, but I'd rather just disable mailing for my machine. Is there a way to do this under Mac OS? ...

I'm trying to link the previous compiled C sample to asm samples: gcc first.o driver.c asm_io.o -o first But it's returning it: driver.c:3: warning: ‘cdecl’ attribute ignored ld: warning...

Hi, Does anyone who has experience with SFAuthorizationPluginView know how to identify between the user pressing "Cancel" and "Back". My problem is that SFButtonTypeCancel is identical to SFButtonTypeBack, hence a switch statement will fail at compile time, and an if statement will not recognize the difference. This is not a problem ...

Here is the first sample, that uses his library asm_io. I'm getting Segmentation Fault when running it. Why? What need to be changed to run in ...
I have an OpenGL-based app that can run windowed or fullscreen in OS X 10.5. While in windowed mode, pressing the volume keys in the keyboard changes the volume setting (mute/unmute for example) and the OSX-drawn speaker icon overlay is drawn, as it happens with every other application. However, in full screen mode, pressing the keys d...
I'm trying to figure out how to pass a variable (in my case hostname) to a function i created from a programatically inserted "menu item". #function -(void)goToTerminal:(NSString *)hostname { NSString *s = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"tell application \"Terminal\" to do script \"ssh root@%@\"", hostname]; NSAppleScript *as = [[...
Is there a way to determine whether the active window (not of my process, but a different application) is resizable? Edit: I would prefer to do this without applescript as it then depends on the application being scriptable. ...
I am trying to interface with a cocoa popup menu from an OpenGL button. The actual button needs to be in OpenGL and I cannot stick an actual Cocoa button in its place but when this button is pressed I would like for a Cocoa menu to popup just like the one that comes up when you press the nspopupbutton. It seems that there is no way to ...

I've recently been told about a useful debugging tool on Mac OS X called stackshot, however I don't know how to invoke it. My understanding from the documentation is that it runs as a daemon, but the man page also reads as if it can be invoked from the command line. How would I go about leveraging stackshot for my currently-running appli...
Is there an easy way to get any more control over the py2app traceback dialogs, or just a nice way to display GUI messages? If I raise an exception in my py2app script, I get a dialog that says something like this: MyAppName Error MyAppName Error An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script MyR...
I have a webpage with a flash movie (via SWFObject) and I am using a modal jQuery UI dialog to pop up a google map on top of the webpage in response to user input. When viewing the site in Safari or FireFox on OS X, if I have the mouse over the part of the dialog content that is overlapping the flash movie underneath, the cursor change...
