Safari Search on Website Posted: 06 Feb 2019 08:37 AM PST Somehow I find quite a lot of people don't know about this feature, so I'd like to share this with you. In Safari, there's a «Quick Website Search» option: Safari Preferences With this «Quick Website Search» enabled, Safari automatically recognises fetched OpenSearch specs (e.g., Reddit has its own spec, too), which allows doing a quick search like this: Quick YouTube Search Instead of using the main search engine, type "website.com query", then choose the "Search website.com" option. Boom, results: Search Results Some websites do not support OpenSearch, though. In this case, you may consider manually adding a search configuration into the ~/Library/Safari/SearchDescriptions.plist — but it's on your own risk. Please, don't touch the file if you don't know what you are doing. SearchDescriptions.plist Voila. submitted by /u/dio_drosselmeier [link] [comments]

Automator Service to "Create a README.txt in this folder" Posted: 07 Feb 2019 02:01 AM PST Automator lets you create "services" which are basically actions you can perform from the right-click context menus in Finder. So I have been documenting a couple of my Automator Service script recipes for my own sake, just in case I want to refer to how I do similar things in the future. I thought I would share this one. https://i.imgur.com/kq9sY4c.jpg I often want to create a new text file called README.txt in a folder, and immediately edit it with something useful about the folder's contents. This little python script can be run by an Automator Service, to help construct a file with a line of text in it to help document the purpose/home of the README. There is a "Run AppleScript" choice, but since I do a lot of other python work, I chose to use "Run Shell Script" instead and use the /usr/bin/python interpreter as the shell. This is the script which you can paste into a similar service. import os import sys import subprocess sys.argv.pop(0) created = [ ] # Routine to create a small text file intelligently. # If a file already exists, we don't want to modify it. # Otherwise, we create a new file with one line that describes the folder. # We perform the opposite of os.path.expanduser() so the username is not # included in the contents of the file, for brevity, portability and privacy. # def create(path): path = os.path.abspath(path) if not os.path.exists(path): file = open(path, 'w') home = os.path.expanduser('~') if path.startswith(home): path = os.path.join('~', path[len(home)+1:]) print >>file, "#", path file.close() # Try creating a README.txt file in the folders specified. # If a file is specified, use the containing folder instead. # for arg in sys.argv: if os.path.isdir(arg): path = os.path.join(arg, 'README.txt') create(path) created.append(path) else: path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(arg), 'README.txt') create(path) created.append(path) # Open an app window showing the contents of each file created or found. # This should honor the user's preferred application for opening such files. # for path in created: subprocess.call([ "/usr/bin/open", "-n", # new instance even if one open path ]) submitted by /u/kaihatsusha [link] [comments]

[Question] VirtualBox Posted: 06 Feb 2019 10:51 PM PST Hey, I'm trying to use virtualbox to use XCode but, my keyboard is USB 3.0 and the iPhone connecter is said to be 2.0, I can only select one. I am on macOS Mojave latest. Any tips? submitted by /u/ItsArmiii [link] [comments]

App for Facebook chat? How splitt screen? Posted: 06 Feb 2019 10:27 PM PST Hi, I'm from the windows world and I can't for the life of me find out how I can split my screen, when you have windows side-by-side so you can work with it at the same time? This was easy to do in Windows. Also, I'm missing the facebook messages application, what app is the best for that in macOS? submitted by /u/rjohansson [link] [comments]

How to change login picture for 'Other' Posted: 06 Feb 2019 12:37 PM PST In Mac OS, when you have your login screen configured to show a list of users (as opposed to a username/password text box combo), each user is accompanied by a large circular image. This is alternately known as a 'User Picture' or a 'Login Picture'. All users have such an image even if they are the generic gray silhouette image. Furthermore, when you enable network users to log into your mac, and have the login screen configured to show a list of users, the User Pic that accompanies the 'Other...' user is a special login picture, which is a gray silhouette of three individuals. ​ ​ https://i.redd.it/0y8sairn31f21.jpg I would like to change this image so that I can have a more fun picture for the students in my school to click on when they want to login with their network account. I do not know how to do this. One idea I have, and it is really more of a brute force idea, is to find that image on the hard drive and replace it with a picture of my choice. I am open to other ideas, however. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? submitted by /u/zeeplereddit [link] [comments]

MacOS Mojave - How To Install Ruby Successfully Posted: 06 Feb 2019 02:06 PM PST Per the subject line, does anyone have a document / blogpost / etc. on how to install Ruby the right way? I did it through brew: "brew install ruby" But it looks like some of the apps I install that use Ruby, still fail to work correctly, and I get a "command not found" error. Anyone sort through all this stuff and get things working correctly? Thanks in advance to everyone for your time and help, it is greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/A4orce84 [link] [comments]

Preview problem Posted: 06 Feb 2019 01:09 PM PST Wonder if anyone can help - I just switched from late 2013 MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Air. ​ on my old pro I used to be able to export a pdf doc to a jpg and the quality would hold perfectly (particularly say an email I had exported from mail) ​ I've tried this on my air and the jpg is incredibly blurry on all the text now.. I never amended a setting on the pro so wonder why this is happening on my air? Any suggestions? submitted by /u/ryancgray1 [link] [comments]

Icons replaced with generic and most applications won't open Posted: 06 Feb 2019 09:46 AM PST I was having some issues with CyberDuck, so I restarted my 2015 Macbook running Mojave ( very rarely restart my macbook). After restarting, most of my icons have been replace with the generic icon in Launchpad, and some in my dock, and most of my applications are giving me an error along the lines of ""The application "Archive Utility" can't be opened."" with a code -42 at the end. My google search wasn't fruitful. Any ideas? submitted by /u/magicalnoise [link] [comments]

Move to Trash drag & drop slow on Mojave Posted: 06 Feb 2019 03:18 AM PST Not sure how you guys are using the downloads folder but I have it as Fan that has all my downloads sorted by date and it'r right next to the Trash icon. ​ Can't entirely affirm that it was Mojave that screwed this up, but as of now - whenever I want to delete several files one after another by drag & drop from that Downloads folder - I end up dragging the same file that I just dragged into the bin twice. Obviously the second time I do it - nothing happens but it drives me mad that after dragging the file into the bin - it is still showing up there in the Downloads fan for a little while. Maybe a second, but that's enough for me do repeat the drag & drop action. Does anyone know of a way to completely remove this delay in files moving? submitted by /u/andreilopatenco [link] [comments]
