Problems with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Snow Leopard

October 17, 2009 @ 11:59 am

It doesn’t seem like I’m the only one who has had problems opening multiple files in Adobe Photoshop CS4 while running Snow Leopard.

In Photoshop CS3, I was able to drag multiple items into the Photoshop icon in my dock and have them all open up at once. I could do this with regular Finder items and items from within Bridge and other Adobe apps as well. But in Photoshop CS4, this functionality is sporadic at best. If I’m dragging 5 items, let’s say, sometimes Photoshop will only open 1 and other times it’ll open 3 or something. The number seems to be random.

I don’t really know if it’s a problem with Adobe or with Snow Leopard since I never ran CS4 under Leopard to see if that functionality worked there. But for now, it’s a pretty major inconvenience that I hope Apple or Adobe get fixed soon.

Apple’s spinning wait cursor (also known as the spinning wheel of death) takes over this page on Chris Glass’ website. Scary. [via]

Quick thoughts on the BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac

October 3, 2009 @ 2:51 am

I posted earlier about RIM finally releasing the BlackBerry Desktop Software for the Mac and here is what I think about it: FINALLY! WHAT THE HELL TOOK SO LONG?! I can finally backup my phone data without having to run a virtual operating system. I don’t understand why RIM only saw it fit to release a Mac client now when there have always been BlackBerry users on Mac operating systems.

Enable hidden List View in Mac OS X Snow Leopard

September 29, 2009 @ 2:21 am

UsingMac discovered a new way to show the List View in Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) by using a simple Terminal command. If you type in the following command into Terminal, your folder List Views in your dock will become a slightly more refined vertical list.

defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool YES && killall Dock

To disable and go back to the default/original List View, just type the line below into Terminal.

defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool NO && killall Dock

An image of the boring original List View is below.
