You specify alarms with leading or trailing exclamation marks for example, !30m, !1.5h, 3d! or 2w!. Instead, you can press Command+Return to open the event in iCal and review and optionally amend the item. Press Return to create the new iCal item. And if you press the Tab key again, the turns into a >. You can press the Tab key to insert the required sign more conveniently. Follow the instructions on the image, they are easy. After the file has downloaded, double-click the file and the image will mount.
Others are freeware: AppCleaner, AppTrap.įirstly, download the program from here. Some of these are shareware: AppZapper, AppDelete, CleanApp 3, etc. There are several solutions available for performing this task with more ease. It is painful to go around and search for the files it installs, the names are not very intuitive and it turns into a hit-and-miss operation. Usually the program in the course of its operation installs files: in the Preference folder and in the Application Support folder. You can take the application and drag it to trash, but that doesn't do the job completely. The problem arises when you want to uninstall the application. You either have an installer which does its work, or you drag the application from an image file into your applications folder, and you are done.
Installing applications on the Mac is pretty easy. It definitely has found a place in my workflow.
It is very well-thought out software with a rich heritage which I am falling in love with. The software seems to meld away to the background and lets you concentrate on the task in hand, making outlines.
It is fast, extremely responsive and very intuitive.
Opal more than holds its own in this marketplace. One of the main ones is a product called OmniOutliner which I am going to cover in a future post. Recommendation: There are lots of outliners available in the Macintosh marketplace. You should read this to get an excellent overview of what you can expect from an outlining program.
Usage Note: When you mount the disk image of Opal, you will find a PDF file on the image called All About Outliners. Now you have three keyboard commands which make this feature much more easier to access. Repeat the process twice more with the only changes being the Unfocus and Unfocus All, Menu Title entries. After completing the steps, press the Add button. If you don't like keyboard commands, and have to use the mouse, the icons on the toolbar perform the same functions. Visually, taking a topic left, promotes it, while taking a topic right, demotes it. I love this arrangement of the keyboard commands. To demote it, I can press the keyboard: Command +Shift+R (for right). I hit return to get a new topic, then I can choose to keep it at the level it is or to promote it, I can press the keyboard command: Command +Shift+L (for left).
I must say that I much prefer keyboard commands to clicking on icons. To get a topic at a level lower than the one you are working on, you can click on the New Daughter icon. Anytime you are working in the outline, you can click the New Sister button to get another topic at the same level of the outline that you have been working on. You click on the New Aunt button to get a topic at the level above where you are in the outline. You hit enter to get a new topic, or you use the toolbar buttons. QuickCursor works with BBEdit, Espresso, MacVim, Smultron, SubEthaEdit, TextMate, TextWrangler, and WriteRoom. All this happens automagically and saves me a bunch of copy and paste and switching between application commands. After I am done, I can press Command S (Save) and Command W (Close the window) and immediately I am switched to the comment form in my browser, the text highlighted is now replaced by the complete text of the BBEdit window I closed. So, for instance, if I am on a comment form in an online forum, I can press a keystroke command and the highlighted portion of the text I am commenting on gets copied to BBEdit and I can finish my reply there. QuickCursor gives me the ability to write everything in BBEdit irrespective of what program I am in. I got tired of waiting for version 2.0 of TextMate.
