Sorry gang, going a bit daft here.  It's there all right, user-error plain and

Scripts not showing up in menu bar.

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi all,

Not sure what's amiss here.  I created a Scripts folder in ~/Library and copied 
some applescript in there.  I then opened Applescript edit, and ticked the box 
in its preferences to show the scripts in the menu bar.  However they're not 
showing up.  Anyone know what I'm missing?

Cheers,

Re: Don't buy Diet Coda.

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Yup absolutely.  As I said, they asked me to test it.  They have already taken 
note of the fixes for the Mac version I've suggested.  They were very pleased 
when I got in touch.

Don't buy Diet Coda.

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Particularly for Dane, but  a general comment would be don't buy Diet Coda for 
iPad at the moment.  On launch, the first screen is totally inaccessible,.  It 
is impossible to use with VO.  Subsequent screens are usable, though confusing.

I'm not criticising the devs here.  It was at their instigation that I

yup and most of the fixes we need are (in the greater scheme of things) trivial

Contact with Panic

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi,

I just thought I'd let the list know that I made contact with Panic via twitter 
and, at their invitation, am now trading mails.  They seem quite amenable to 
fixing issues.  It may take time (naturally) but it's a good start.

Re: Coda 2 by Panic

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

They also do Transmit Zak which is in my view the best FTP/SFTP client on Mac.  
It's no bother at all to contact them, I just wanted to check here first to see 
if anyone had a direct line into someone senior in the company.

Cheers.

Hi folks,

I have hit a wee snag setting up a new Macbook Pro.  Many of the keyboard 
shortcuts I’ve used in the past no longer seem to work.  For example, ctrl-f2 
for menu and ctrl-f3 for Doc.  I’ve enabled the appropriate setting in the 
Keyboard settings to ensure function keys behave as normal.

If anyone can think of a reason why they have disappeared that would be great.

Cheers,

Dónal

Nisus writer pro

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Folks,

I note that the application named in the subject is on sale presently from 
macupdate.  Just wondering whether, given the improvements in Pages, there is 
anything Nisus does that pages doesn't?

Thanks for any info,

Re: issue with the newest key note

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi Daniela,

I agree new keynote is a revelation.  One thing that is interesting is the fact 
that when in Slideshow mode, the text content appears in ‘edit’ fields.  Wonder 
why they did that.

numbers: file won't go away.

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi folks,

Righty, here’s an odd one.  I was working on two numbers files a few weeks ago. 
 Ever since, when I open Numbers, those files keep opening.  Even though I 
close the windows each time, they won’t go away.  They are, if you will, the 
rhubarb of files.

So, does anyone know how to stop them opening each time I open numbers?

Thanking you,

Dónal

Very much sarah thank you.  I never got around to buying sarchiver and then it 
was gone.  TheUnarchiver is fine as far as it goes but I need something better 
for various projects I’m working on.  if you, or anyone, knows of anything 
better than Entropy then I’ll get it, as work will pay so for once I’m not 
bothered about what it costs :-)

Re: iwork updates: super news.

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi Anne,

Great to hear you reported this one too.  I had actually encountered this with 
the very scanned signature you alluded to in your post.  I tend to get working 
eyes to look over documents, and they spotted that the signature was off.  I’ve 
put a bug report in about this one so hopefully something comes of it.

iwork updates: super news.

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Morning people,

I don’t know if any of you have downloaded the new updates to iWork, but I’ve 
noticed two things of interest:

1. the really big news from my perspective is that VO now reads Keynote in 
Slideshow mode.  I’ve not tested this with things like multimedia (video audio) 
etc, but it’s certainly a step forward.

2. Here’s one for Anne Robertson:  You can once again assign shortcuts to 
styles.  This, again, is great because it speeds things up.

Now I’ve not tested the updates in any great depth, but wanted to post this 
here to let people know.  The Keynote improvement has literally made my day!

Re: Ipad: external keyboard and jumping to different parts of the UI

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi there,

That’s an excellent suggestion. Containers are not something I use often.  The 
mail app was just an example, but I take your point that this would work very 
well.

Cheers,

Dónal

Ipad: external keyboard and jumping to different parts of the UI

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi all,

I’m using the iPad air with the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard cover.  I’ll 
digress for a second to say that this is a lovely accessory for the iPad air.

I have a situation where I have a long long list of emails in one of my 
folders.  There are several hundred in there.  Is there a way to move to the 
message content (using the keyboard) once a message has been selected?

At present I find myself using VO-right arrow to simply move from element to 
element.  I can, of course, simply tap the screen at the location where the 
message is displayed but if possible I’d rather not take my hands off the 
keyboard.  I’m lazy, what can I say.

Thanks much,

Re: Mac App Deal: MacGourmet Deluxe has dropped in price:

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi Esther,

Many thanks indeed for this.  I’ve been using the Paprika manager for a while 
now and really like it.  I love the browser/search facility.  However there are 
certain features of the MacGourmet deluxe that I like, such as the ones you 
mention.

Cheers,

I love paprika.  I have debated and debated buying Mac Gourmet Deluxe for ages. 
 If someone can convince me it does things better/differently to Paprika I’ll 
happily get it because I’m something of a cooking nerd. :-)

Re: Apple's Xcode tutorial

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi Laurel and Jeff,

Sorry Laurel, I must have missed your original post over the Christmas period.  
I more or less tuned out of all email for about two weeks.

I tried that tutorial a while back and got lost.  It’s probably my background 
and training, but I always seem to have more luck following books rather than 
tutorials.  If you’re a bookshare member, they have plenty of XCode stuff.  
Indeed, all oreilly books are there by default.

Here’s an offer for you:  if you want to take a look on sites like:

www.oreilly.com
www.informit.com
www.apress.com
www.bookshare.org

you might find books you find interesting.  The first thing I’d do is start by 
learning the Objective C language.  All cocoa apps are built on this, and a 
knowledge will help you.  Anyway back to my offer:  If you find books that you 
think might be of use, either post here or contact me offlist and I’ll happily 
take a look for you and tell you what I think.

I’ve not done app development, but I’ve written utilities for mac.  I’m a 
university academic who teaches programming (among other things) so I’ve needed 
to know the basics.  App/application development is my study gig for the next 
few months as I suspect I may get a course in mobile development to teach next 
year.

Definitely look at MV-Dev.  It’s a nice community and nobody gets flamed for 
asking anything.

Hope these ramblings help,

Re: 1Password: is it actually worth the money?

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

well having been using it for a week I can certainly vouch for the value for 
money.  It’s great.  One setting I’d like to see though is the ability for it 
to start up on system start.

good scanner (was: Re: Suggestions for scanning printed books with an iPhone)

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi folks,

Just changing the subject to reflect a question I’ve been meaning to ask.  
James’ original question reminded me to ask the list for a recommendation for a 
good scanner to work with the mac?  I use Finereader and VuScan mainly.  I’m 
getting this for work, so I’m interested in something good and fast rather than 
something cheap that gets the job done.

Thanks as ever and a happy new year to all,

1Password: is it actually worth the money?

[Donal Fitzpatrick]

Hi all,

I’ve been given a couple of AppStore vouchers so I’m looking at the apps 
reduced in price.  I’ve been toying with 1Password for a while but I’m 
sceptical whether I actually need it.  I think I’m reasonably secure online, 
however this application (and app) does look rather good.  anyone any thoughts?

Interestingly I'm not even seeing the improvements in preview that others have 
talked about. In fact, I find it much much worse in single page mode.

Re: mail, imap and storing messages on the server.

IHi Sarah,
