Yeah, you have to pay again. Their spin on it is that you're basically paying early (and at a discount) for version 4 since it will be a free upgrade if you buy this version. That sounds somewhat reasonable, but I do wish I had held off a little longer considering I just bought it about a month ago.

Seems disingenuous to have someone pay $40 on their site for a product that won't be updated vs $20 on the app store for the "next" version. Their website doesn't even mention there's a version on the mac app store. yep, here it is: http://forum.agilebits.com/index.php?/topic/8068-official-answers-1password-and-the-mac-app-store/ ndrake fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Sep 9, 2011 |

AFAIK, Panic has only indicated it will maintain both options for the current major versions of their software. They haven't said if the next major version will be MAS-only or not.

I have a metric shitton of documents that I want to scan into Lion and store for archival purposes. I'm looking for a program that would help do this: * I scan in a document * It allows me to give it a name, and tags, and maybe some metadata and then it tosses it in a database. * Then I can search by name, tag, or the metadata. I can't seem to find a single program to do this without it being a horrible bloated/unusable piece of poo poo. Does anyone swear by some piece of software for this task? Additionally, recommendations on a good scanner would be nice as well.

Fren posted:I have a metric shitton of documents that I want to scan into Lion and store for archival purposes. Then 10.6.8 came out and appeared to have broken folder actions for me and many others according to . I haven't upgraded that machine to 10.7 yet so I'm not sure how folder actions are in Lion. Looks like there's an Automator action for setting PDF metadata so perhaps play with that a bit and see what you can do. I think there's actions you can do with Image Capture too but I've never tried those. Hardware wise I have no clue, mine is just a Brother networked multifunction device. Works with Image Capture directly through USB or over the network, but I almost exclusively just do scanning on the device itself and set it up to dump scans into a folder on my work Mac (mine uses FTP). Whatever you get I'd just try using the built in drivers first before taking a chance with whatever possible crapware the scanner comes with.

NerdPolice posted:Sounds like you want DEVONthink. Great solution if you don't mind paying the cash but they are pretty firm on prices. That said they will issue you a trial license if you email them. Holy poo poo, 150 dollars?! Although, the scanners they're providing in the combo pack (450 dollars!?!) don't look like absolute trash, so maybe it's worth it.

Is there any way to install FCP7 on a machine that already has FCPX? When trying the install disc FCP is greyed out and skipped. I've got to finish someone else's project, so if backing up and deleting X will bring the install option back I'd do that for the time I'm working on this. e: Ahh. Obviously they have the same application title. Moved X to a subfolder. Hopefully they're okay living together like that. 7 is working at least.

I'm experiencing occasionally crackly audio on my 2008 iMac. It doesn't happen with things played in VLC, or Movist, or iTunes, but it does happen with some flash sounds, and the alert sounds in Adium. It does not happen all the time with these things. I've also checked the connections between my iMac and speakers (iMac -> mixer -> amp -> speakers) and it's all good, this coupled with the fact that it never happens in some applications makes me think it's not a hardware issue. Does this sound like some sort of codec issue? If so, how can I fix it? Sir Sidney Poitier fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Sep 10, 2011 |

I'm not really sure where to put this since it involves three different topics but I'll try here first - Just bought an 80GB Intel 320 series SSD to put in an old black macbook. Through previous experience I've had to do this round-a-bout procedure to get OS X onto a new HDD and it almost always works: 1) Boot from my Snow Leopard Upgrade/Install disc on a separate 13" MBP - The new drive is connected via USB to this machine as well. 2) Via 'Disk Utility' on the install disc, format the new drive (Mac OS Extended Journaled, GUID, etc.) 3) Begin the installation process. 4) Finish install, put the new HDD into whatever machine I want it to be in. I've tried this with the new SSD twice today, but both times the installation has failed. The progress bar will fill up halfway, after about 15 minutes, and will just say 'Install Failed'. I'm at my wit's end with this and about ready to loving throw every computer I own and the new SSD off my balcony. WTF am I doing wrong?

It says it can't install Snow Leopard because the hard drive doesn't already have existing copy of OS X installed. As if it thinks I want to upgrade the OS, but there's nothing to upgrade.

This is a system security feature. If you're going to use AppleScript, you'll need to use "with administrator privileges" to execute the shell command.

Unprivileged attackers will be able to read that data unless you make it so only root can read the script, at which point you won't be able to read the file to run it.

That means I am going to get prompted every time I plug in my TM disk and unplug it (several times per day). I could probably look into using the keyring or something to securely cache the credentials. How do all the various apps that need high level access only need you to authenticate the first time around? They continue to do their thing for days/weeks/months after that first auth. blah.. this is getting stupid complicated. It sucks because this simple little script was working just fine a year ago.

When I'm using Preview in full screen mode to view PDFs and switch pages, a little popup comes up saying "Page X of Y" for a few seconds. Can I make this popup never show up? It's distracting at best, and just plain annoying. e: Actually, it seems there's two ways to enter full-screen and they're not the same Pressing the fullscreen button in the top right fullscreens it and gives it its own space, like it's suppose to. But now changing pages gives that annoying 'Page X of Y' popup and there's a stupid animation to the page changes. It also gives you access to 3 finger swipe left/right to change pages. However, pressing cmd+shift+f ALSO fullscreens it, giving it it's own space too. But now 3 finger swipe is gone, but you can still change the pages with the left/right arrows. Page changes are now instantaneous and there's no annoying 'Page X of Y' popup. … it really doesn't seem like there should be a difference here and it just seems like Apple didn't do much testing on this whole fullscreen mode at all.
