I use the colored file labels quite a bit and I'm having this box randomly come up sometimes when I apply a color label to files. It's not every time, and it doesn't appear to make any difference where the file is located or what type of file, or the permissions on the file, it's just random. I'm not sure the reason for it, since even if I click cancel the file still gets the colored label on it.  Also is there a way to stop apps from closing when they have no active windows? Preview and textedit keep closing and it's annoying me.

Xandu posted:Did you disable indicator lights? That's probably why they're closing when there's no active windows. No, I've got indicator lights on. It's just textedit and preview, and sometimes textedit will stay open, but not always. Nothing else seems to do this.

unruly posted:This is intended behavior with apps that support it (surprise, both Preview and TextEdit do): http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7.ars/8#process-model It just annoys me a bit how they always shut down every time. If it really was because the system needed RAM I'd get it, but I've got 8 gigs with 3.5 gigs free right now and it does it anyway. I guess I'll just have to live with it.

I'm looking for some software that will allow me to join together video files of different resolutions and codecs without having to sit through long-rear end import processes, and then encode the whole thing on export. I'm not looking to edit the videos, just join them together. Any ideas?

smug forum rear end in a top hat posted:different resolutions and formats -- I'm no expert, but I feel like you'll have to reencode afterward. Yeah I know, I want to reencode afterwards. I just can't find anything that will let me put files together without sitting through a long import process. I don't know if there is a specific term for "video editor that doesn't import the files" though so my searches aren't working out so well.

I had an idea and right now I'm using Toast to make a dvd of some videos to test it out. I'm hoping the resulting disk image will put all the videos together in one thing so I can use toast to make a dvd and then rip the dvd and get one video file with the videos in them. The disk image is processing now so I'll see if that actually works. Also, I found kdenlive which says "Mix different media without prior import: Any Video, audio or image files supported by Kdenlive." which sounds like what I'm looking for. Anybody ever use this? To install it I'd have to install xcode and macports which I'm not too thrilled about doing without knowing if kdenlive is any good or does what I want. edit - no, toast gives each video it's own title, that's not going to work.

Gunjin posted:Probably costs more than you want to spend, but Premiere Pro supports multi codec timelines. I don't think I want to spend that much just so I can make some stupid videos. I'm thinking I'm going to have to use Windows here and see what apps are available there.

japtor posted:Have you tried QuickTime Player? I think one of the big updates for it in Lion is being able to snip together random crap. You'll probably need Perian and Flip4Mac to handle other formats, but once it can open random stuff, "Add Clip to End" might do what you need. Oh, wow, it does. I didn't even think of checking out Quicktime, last I used Quicktime X there was like, no features. Thanks!

NerdPolice posted:Don't know what is going on but ever since Lion I've been getting pinwheels OFTEN. I've thought it was FireFox but even using other browsers I still get pinwheels and also realized it was happening in practically every other application. Is there some sort of magic that I should know about? I did a clean install of Lion about a month ago and never had any sort of issue similar to this with Snow Leopard. Do you have an external hard drive or multiple hard drives in your computer? This happens to me when an external drive spins down and then it will pinwheel when it spins the HD back up. For some reason there is a lot of things in Lion that make the hard drive spin up, seems to happen way more than Snow Leopard ever did.

Oxford Comma posted:Ugh. This exact thing happens to me when I'm playing something from a USB hard drive while doing something else that's disk IO intensive on the same drive. My guess is whatever you are storing them on either has something else accessing it a lot at the same time, or is too slow/possibly going bad.

I had a successful Time Machine backup an hour ago, and just now I just got a popup saying the backup has failed because there isn't enough space left. For some reason, Time Machine wants to back up 75 GB of data. I have no idea what it's backing up because there is no way 75 gigs of stuff has changed in one hour. So is there any way to see what it's trying to backup or why it all of a sudden thinks it needs to back up 75 gigs?

Yeah I looked at the options and all of the excludes are the same as they always are, and I haven't done anything that would cause 75 gigs of new or changed data in one hour. edit - I don't know what the gently caress happened but I cleared up enough free space on the drive and then it did the backup and according to the logs it decided it had 75 gigs to back up, and started the back up and ended up backing up like 200 megs, and is now complete. I don't know what that was about, seems like some weird bug or something, not actually 75 gigs to backup. Samuel L. ACKSYN fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Nov 26, 2013 |

I have a bunch of data DVDs (like 50-60) and I want to copy them all to a hard drive. I'm basically just looking for an app or automator workflow thing or something where I put in a disc, it makes a directory using the disk name as the folder name and copies everything to that folder and then ejects it and does this again and again. I've found a few things like this but they are geared towards ripping video DVDs and I couldn't really get them to work right. These are just data DVDs, they aren't movies or encrypted or anything like that, and I don't need anything encoded or anything like that. Any ideas?

Anyone use PCSX-Reloaded? I'm using the latest version (pcsxr-90608-macosx) from http://consoleemu.com/emulator/pcsx-reloaded#latest. Here's the software renderer -  and here's the OpenGL renderer -  OGL isn't drawing those black bars (which I'm assuming are supposed to be there) and instead you get to see a bunch of orange poo poo that flashes and it's pretty annoying. It's not just with that one game either, it happens in Resident Evil 2 during cutscenes (where there should be black bars) and other games. Seems like whenever there is supposed to be black bars in a game it's not rendering them and it ends up looking like that. The software renderer works fine but obviously doesn't look as good. I've tried different versions of PCSX-R and they all do that, and I've messed with all of the OGL plugin settings without success. I don't have any graphics problems in any other emulators or games or anything so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Does anyone possibly have any ideas?

crazysim posted:This probably won't help you but I would love to bring this to your attention. It's slightly related but it talks about how Crash Bandicoot was developed and a crazy Playstation development trick that is probably responsible for your predicament. The rest of the posts are great too. I've read that before and it's awesome. But I have this problem in other games as well. It's really weird Here's the opening movie of Resident Evil 3 -   It flashes quickly between totally orange bars (those are supposed to be black) and the bottom image. You see the blue poo poo and everything at the top of the second image? That's from Crash Bandicoot 2, which I was trying before RE3. Whatever the issue is it still has graphics from other games in memory or something? I don't know how this poo poo works. I swear this worked fine at some point. Did any of the OS X updates gently caress around with OpenGL or something?

AtrociousToaster posted:Anybody else use a Dualshock 4 over bluetooth on their Mac? On my rMBP after updating to Yosemite I started having trouble pairing it, it will detect it but when I hit pair it just spins forever and never connects. I updated to the 10.10.1 seed because I was having horrible issues with WPA2 enterprise networks constantly dropping (which it fixed, thank god). Hoped that the bluetooth issue would be fixed by that as well but it wasn't. Anyone having similar issues or got any ideas? I use a DS4 and I haven't had any problems connecting it on Yosemite, but I have noticed it seems to sometimes miss/drop button presses when I'm playing over Bluetooth, which it definitely wasn't doing before Yosemite.

Does anyone know why Wine 2.0 hasn't showed up in Homebrew yet? Homebrew is still on 1.8.6 stable and 2.0 rc6 for the devel version, when Wine 2.0 final has been out for over a week.
