MIKELAMBRELLIS  I see that the new version supports AirSharing but I'm not sure how to copy files so that AirSharing can see them? Does somebody know how to do this? Thanks.  
(Version 1.182)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  Another good pickup. Yes, I forgot the "sudo " at the front of the "ln -s" command. That will make the link owned by root and unremovable by the user.

If you've already created the link, then:

sudo chown -h root:admin Plugins

ought to do the trick.  
(Version 0.9.7a)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  Good point about the security issue. I resolved it by moving my user plugins to the system domain folder (and setting their ownership appropriately), then removing my local domain and creating a soft link to the system domain. That way, if any user-privileged script/app tries to write to the local domain it will fail as it really points to the system domain, requiring system install privs. I've tried it and Safari seems to work fine (using Safari Block, and SafariStand). I haven't tried running a plugin installer yet.

Here are the commands I used. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! If you aren't comfortable with unix commands and using Terminal then DO NOT DO THIS!

From Terminal:

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins

sudo mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins/* \

/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins/

sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins/*

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins

ln -s /Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins \

~/Library/Application\ Support/SIMBL/Plugins

MIKELAMBRELLIS  I was able to download it from CNet:

http://download.cnet.com/Growl/3000-18487_4-11090698.html

The Growl.info site is still timing out.  
(Version 1.1.6)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  The Growl website (http://growl.info) appears to be timing out. Can't download. Are there any mirrors?  
(Version 1.1.6)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  I couldn't start any of my MS apps. Something about the serial number. I've got the Home-Student edition. I may have recycled the same number across mine and the kids Macs.   
(Version 12.2)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  Aargh! Does anybody know how to uninstall this update? My eternal thanks to you if you share your wisdom.  
(Version 12.2)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  Having tried Microsoft's own appalling rdp client as well as the MacPorts rdesktop client, I can only say that CoRD is excellent.

It has a VERY Mac-like interface and I like the scaling of the windowed display to fit my laptop's screen.

Congratulations to the developer.

My only request would be to add the ability to run specific applications/shells.  
(Version 0.5b2)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  What I meant to say was I agree with Alexandre - GrandPerspective is better.  
(Version 4.4.2)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  Agreed. The visual perspective makes it far easier to see the relative proportions of files and directories versus the total disk size. Scanning is very fast and the latest version provides zooming and other features.

For a command line report similar to the GUI output of WhatSize, you can type in the following in terminal:

f=/tmp/~sort.tmp;du -hs *>$f;for s in P T G M K B; do cat $f|grep "^..."$s|sort -nr;done

(all of that should be on one line)  
(Version 4.4.2)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  Doh! :-)

Sorry for that. I honestly hadn't noticed about the save as default view. I also didn't know about the "option" select. Is that true for all apps? Cool.

Anyway, that eliminates the only objection I had. The app is now officially perfect. Well done!  
(Version 1.1.13)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  I just figured out how to do what I wanted in point 1 above. Open ~/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.skim-app.skim.plist in Property List Editor. Expand the Root node. Expand the SKDefaultPDFDisplaySettings node. Set autoScales to Yes (this achieves the automatic fitting to display). Set displayMode to 0 (this turns off Continuous display). Set displayPageBreaks to No.

Given that I have another year to go of study, this has just saved me several hundred mouseclicks.

It would still be nice if the app would remember its settings without having to edit the property list :-)  
(Version 1.1.13)

MIKELAMBRELLIS  This is an absolutely AWESOME program. It has literally gotten me through my Masters degree. The ability to annotate PDFs is just excellent.

You can add "sticky notes", use a highlighter, circle, box, underline - it is just fantastic.

I am giving it 5 stars overall, however I would like to respectfully request the following two features:

1. Is there some way to save the setting changes that I make? I like to turn off PDF Display|Continuous, and PDF Display|Page Break. I also like to set Zoom to Fit. However I find that I have to do this for every single PDF I read. Is there someway to make the settings changes "sticky"? The lack of this is holding me back from giving it 5 stars for "Ease of Use".

2. This is really a wish. I understand that this would be quite difficult. What I would like is a way to select a "block" of text so that I could select parts of a single column from a PDF page that is displaying multi-column text. Currently, Skim (and every other PDF viewer I've tried) selects whole lines when in text mode, and this is useless when the PDF has multi-column text.

However, these are very minor quibbles. I salute the developer. Thank you very much for a great product.
