Logitech Harmony Remote		Feb 18 2008

MICROCOSM SOFTWARE  To make matters worse, at least one of the installed files are owned by uid and gid 509, which may or may not be in use on any particular system:

drwxrwxrwx@ 3 509 509 hidden 102B Feb 18 09:29 remotecore.app

This is a security problem for obvious reasons!

MICROCOSM SOFTWARE  For those who, like me, dislike that Logitech places various files and folders in the Applications and home folders:

If you have Xcode installed, issue the following command in a terminal window:

SetFile -a V /path/to/item

If you do not have Xcode installed, you can do this with the chflags command, as administrator:

sudo chflags hidden /path/to/item

(In both commands above, /path/to/item is the POSIX path to the file or folder in question.)

Execute this command for each file or folder you want to hide.

M-RICK  You can do something easier and better than hiding them, just move them to your ~/Library/Applications support folder and then make a hidden link over them.

MONOCLAST  That's a neat solution, thanks for sharing; but I have to wonder how moving them (mv src dest) and creating a link to them (ln -s src dest), which is two steps, would be easier than just hiding them, which is one single step.

I'm also not sure how it would be considered better: If you just hide them, and Logitech decides to remove them in the future, there's no problem. But if you move them and create soft links to them, and Logitech decides to remove them in the future, will the links be removed, or will the items you moved get removed. If the latter, will the soft links you created get removed as well, or will they turn into broken soft links?

Play Sound		Dec 30 2007

MICROCOSM SOFTWARE  Unfortunately, due to a change in Play Sound's AppleScript dictionary in version 1.6 (logged at the bottom of the Play Sound "Read Me" file), scripts created with earlier versions need to be recompiled to work correctly with Play Sound 1.6 and later.

To fix your scripts, open them in Script Editor, add a blank line (or make a similar trivial change to the text), then save the script.
