I'm having a problem. Tried googling it but it was a bit meh. Anyways, I have a NTFS external drive which I'm trying to share via OSX. Once I share it through system preferences, I check the ACL, and there's an "unknown user" I'm not able to remove it, I can only change the permission which would be fine but there is no option for "No Access" I am thinking it's a permission granted through NTFS which is unknown to OSX. Is there a way I can check SIDs and ACLs through the terminal on OSX so I can match it to the Windows SID and remove it via Windows? If so, which command would it be? Thanks!

Animated GIFs are definitely more taxing than they should be in WebKit.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I had an old Macbook I was using that I hadn't updated in ages and was using a really old version of Safari which couldn't load gifs for poo poo, so one of my first tests was to try one of those threads with my new Air and it seemed like it was still having problems. The occasional avatar gif or whatever works fine now.

Mac noob photo question. When I plug my phone/iPad/camera in, I get the option to import photos to either the Pictures folder or the iPhoto library. Is there any reason to not import them to the iPhoto library? Or maybe more to the point, I've read that photos in the iPhoto library are selectable in any system-wide Open dialogue. Is that true?

WithoutTheFezOn posted:Mac noob photo question. When I plug my phone/iPad/camera in, I get the option to import photos to either the Pictures folder or the iPhoto library. It might be in newer versions, but in the one I have (iPhoto '09), you need to cmd/right click the picture and click show in finder, and then copy the image somewhere accessible or make a shortcut/alias to it. Or you can cmd/right click the iPhoto Library in ~/Pictures, click show package contents and dig through there. I remember the old versions let you just wander through your library from any Open dialog, though. But that's a minor inconvenience given how neatly it'll organize your pictures. But as to your first question, it is more convenient to drop things in your Pictures folder, if you're willing to organize them yourself, for easy access. But unless you're going to try and upload your pictures to a service iPhoto doesn't have, that's irrelevant. It'll even let you pick your own third-party editor, if you want to use things beyond the included tools.

So what's the deal with Sparrow nowadays? There hasn't been an update for it in ages now, the Growl functionality is gone for some reason and their site just boasts about the fact that they were bought by Google with no further details as to how that changes things.

As of Leopard (or SL?) Apple added a "Media" section to the sidebar in the Open Dialog that allows you to view and select photos (aperture/iPhoto) or music (iTunes) without having to go through their respective apps (or digging through their complex library folders). Ps. Your avatar looks like me. It creeps me out every time I see it. Some day I'm going to throw in  to put a stop to this.

Google buys stuff for 2 reasons: the technology/staff and user base. Whatever Sparrow is, I'm betting they're not after its user base.

Yeah, OS X Mail really is poo poo. I've resigned myself to running it in the background to get notifications, but otherwise mostly using the Gmail web app.

Not exactly Mac related but is the latest Gmail app for iOS "native"? That's probably what the Sparrow people are doing now if so.

Mother fucker. That's twice now, tonight, that I've hit some drat keyboard shortcut that's changed the size of my desktop icons. First time they went to 64px, the last time they went to 128px. What am I doing that's causing this? It wrecks all my poo poo because when I change them back they never go back to where they were. Edit: haha jesus, I just looked back at my post history, and this is the third time I've posted in this thread about my desktop icons changing. I guess you can just ignore me, unless anyone's got some new information; until then it's back to the old standby: "Finder is a piece of poo poo." jackpot fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Dec 5, 2012 |

Back to Mac software, for anyone that uses Safari and has autocorrect on, anyone ever have a problem of a word getting corrected in a text area (like the forum post box) then having keyboard focus seemingly taken away? Like I misspell a word, it gets corrected when I hit space, but with the keyboard focus switched out the space gets interpreted as page down. It's not consistent so it's pretty confusing why it's happening.

I really want to move over to the GMail app because y'know, labels, but have gotten so used to Mail's amazingly helpful data identifiers for things like calendar events that one day's usage without made me incredibly frustrated. Would have though Google of all companies could have implemented some form of 'search' based algorithm for that!

Is there a site specific browser out there that doesn't suck a massively fat dick? Fluid is (apparently) not maintained anymore and suffers from some .htaccess authentication bug that makes it completely broken for what I want to use it for. I tried some Google Chrome hack to spawn a new instance of the application as a SSB but Chrome has some horrific OSX bug that causes it to engage the discrete GPU which puts my MacBook Pro into hovercraft mode. Any ideas? io_burn fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Dec 5, 2012 |

Mercurius posted:Are you going to need flash in chrome? From what I remember it's the built in flash plugin in chrome that causes the MBP to flip over to the discrete GPU and drive the fan speed up so maybe if you disable the flash plugin it'll stop doing it. Shouldn't the plugin only engage if there's actual Flash content being displayed?

io_burn posted:Shouldn't the plugin only engage if there's actual Flash content being displayed? Also, how old is your MBP? Looking at the Chrome bug tracker it seems that Chrome's been set up to force the discrete graphics card on older (2010 or earlier with the 330M) MBPs due to a bug with the dynamic graphics switching which could cause a kernel panic.

Have you tried opening Chrome, going to a Flash enabled site, then right-click on the Flash content, then select Settings and disable hardware acceleration? And then quitting and relaunching to see if the discrete gets turned on again?
