I’ve never touched a Blu-ray in my life so that’s not really a problem for me, but I can see some Mac users willing to do whatever they want with those discs. Something tells us the next revision of the MacBook Pro will offer a more radical external redesign to go along with Lion, but that’s a long ways off – until then, this MacBook Pro represents the best blend of power, portability, and battery life we’ve come across to date. Nilay Patel at Engadget on the new MacBook Pro: Of course, there’s no getting around the fact that the MacBook Pro is still incredibly expensive and omits what should be no-brainer features – $2,199 for two USB ports and no Blu-ray drive? – but those are tradeoffs and prices professional Mac users have long become used to, just like this particular MacBook Pro design itself. Check it out at Giant Comet for more information. You’ll be set back a meager $4.99 in the Mac App Store for an aiming cursor with mad screenshot & measuring skills. If you’re working with a dark background, you could always change that overlay from black to white. For pixel pushers measuring apps or windows for Photoshop, Crosshairs conveniently sits above your workspace so you can quickly rule what you need. There’s quite a few keyboard commands for Crosshairs, and its main purpose is to get dimensions of anything on screen. With Crosshairs, you can readjust and take multiple snaps consecutively in one row, making readjustments as needed. Simple, no? You might be wondering why you’d use Crosshairs over Snow Leopard’s built in screenshot utility, and the answer is simple. Press the escape key to deactivate Crosshairs.Press the spacebar to take the screenshot.Drag the overlay anywhere and achieve a pixel-perfect with the graphic counter.Click on the menubar icon to activate Crosshairs.Recreate a better replace using Obsidian.Want to take screenshots with precision and adjustable controls? Crosshairs for Mac is what you’ll need if you want a friendly menubar utility that slaps screenshots right onto the desktop. I have tried to replicate this functionality in Scrivener which sort of works and when importing the files from Journler sets the create date timestamp accordlingly but there is no Smart Folder capability and the closest I can get to it is creating intra-file files, which are not ideal. Since Journler was a 16-bit only program and macOS is now a 64-bit enviromnet I cannot use it any more. Journler also had date/timestamps for creation and modification. The combination of all that meant is was stored once on the disk but accessible directly in the Smart Folders Jane Austen and its superordinate Smart Folder Quotes plus the Smart Folders Self Improvement and Interpreting. It also had tags of Jane Austen and Reflection. For example, a quote from Jane Austen’s novel Emma was created in the Jane Austen folder but categorised as a) Self Improvement, b) Quotes, and c) Interpreting. Typically those smart folders would contain all quotes that I had gathered for a particular author or a specific category even though I had not created the text in the folder. Those quotes were typically copied from books or scrapped from web sites then manually classified by author/topics/categories/tags and more importantly filed away using “Smart Folders”. More historical context than attempts to use Obsidian features … for the moment.īack in the dim and distant past when Apple’s macOS was variously known as Mac OSX or System X I used a program called Journler to collect significant quotes.
