[ccp4bb] West Coast Protein Crystallography Workshop 21
All, We will be finalizing the program for the workshop on Monday, Feb 25th. The Monterey Plaza and Spa has confirmed that we can accommodate a few more people. So, if you are interested in attending and would like to be considered for an oral presentation or would like to present a poster, please register and submit an abstract no later than Monday, 12 noon (PST). The meeting will be March 17th-20th with Wayne Hendrickson as the Keystone speaker!

Re: [ccp4bb] Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion and CCP4?
To my knowledge, apps are rendered at a typical 15.4" resolution (1440x900) and then scaled up at the "retina" resolution (2880x1800). Non-retina apps look scaled. It's like watching standard definition video (say 480p) played in a high-definition screen (1080p or the sort).

Re: [ccp4bb] Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion and CCP4?
Hi all, On the same topic, I'd like to know wether the retina display is also fine, because I've found complains about X11 (non crystallographic) programs appearing "ugly" in it. Is anybody using it? Just for info, I'm also using Mountain lion without problems ( Fink got weird but I don't really care). Carlos De : Huw Jenkins Envoyé : 21/02/2013 21:44 À : CCP4BB@jiscmail.ac.uk Objet : Re: [ccp4bb] Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion and CCP4? All works fine. You'll need to install XQuartz (Apple are no longer supplying their own X11 builds) but that's just a couple of clicks in the box that pops up the first time you run an program that needs X. The (on by default) versioning auto save is a PITA if you ever use textedit to edit scripts but apart from that 10.8 is a fairly painless upgrade. Huw
Re: [ccp4bb] Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion and CCP4?
I can't resist bashing 10.8 a little. I don't know if I would rush to upgrade... I find the removal of 'save as' to be very annoying (holding down option brings it back). Also the way Text edit would hide the scroll bar by default was annoying when looking through log files (easily changed though). Just when I got used to pushing F4 to bring up a calculator and calendar (Dashboard I think it's called?), they changed that too. Delete no longer navigates back in a web browser. These are little things, granted, but they are the little things that I love about using Macs! My new Imac has 10.8, and I don't have the ambition to downgrade the OS on it, but I personally miss 10.6.8. That being said, my crystallography programs run just fine.

Re: [ccp4bb] Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion and CCP4?
Hi Brad: To the best of my knowledge, everything works on 10.8.X. If you have an older computer running 10.6.8, you might want to leave it there if you don't have at least 4, preferably 8 gig of memory. 10.8 is very resource-intensive. (10.7 seemed worse somehow. 10.7 introduced a few bugs, annoyances and 'features' that have been corrected in 10.8, so I either run 10.8.X or 10.6.8 on my computers in the lab.) Good luck.

Re: [ccp4bb] Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion and CCP4?
Thanks to Jon, Huw, and Albert for quickly setting my mind at ease about upgrading our Mac OS to Mountain Lion and compatibility with CCP4. Just as an FYI, it seems most of the other commonly used software packages (i.e. Phenix v1.8, PyMol v1.5) are ok running on 10.8 as well.

You'll probably know about this trick, but just in case there's someone else still suffering the autosave "feature", here it goes: you can disable autosave and bring back the good old 'Save as...' command for a number of apps by executing the following commands: defaults write com.apple.TextEdit ApplePersistence -bool no defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistence -bool no defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages ApplePersistence -bool no defaults write com.apple.iWork.Numbers ApplePersistence -bool no defaults write com.apple.iWork.Keynote ApplePersistence -bool no Cheers, Jon -- Jon Agirre, PhD Unit of Biophysics (CSIC-UPV/EHU) http://sourceforge.net/projects/projectrecon/ +34656756888
