Until that happens you'll just end up with a load of meaningless numbered photo's in a folder which need renaming, plenty of apps out there to do it already but this ones free so it gets a mention.
If you watch the video on the site its got a neat trick in the image browser. If you re-arrange the pics to a different order than they are already they get renamed to the position they move to, i.e move the 3rd picture to being the 1st and it gets renamed from pic_03 to pic_01

AllBookmarks is free and comes from the makers of one of my cant live without apps, 1Passwd. It sits in the menu bar and gives you access to all the bookmarks in your browsers through a list.
Break Free of your Browser! AllBookmarks for Mac OS X
Bookdog is a bit different as it imports/exports the bookmarks directly to the browsers so you can send your Safari bookmarks to Firefox/Camino and vice versa.

Both have good and bad points, Im just figuring out which ones better for me. :)
Ive been using Safari 4 as its out of BETA now and Im pretty impressed, if my net connection wasnt so fecked up at the moment I could give it a go for a while and see how it compares to FF.
Well I must say Im pretty impressed with Safari 4, its a hell of a lot faster than Firefox. It has Cover Flow for history so you can easily navigate back to that porn video you were watching and generally feels pretty sleek.
Theres only a few things I miss from Firefox but for everyday surfing its Safari from now on, I actually feel like Im getting the full speed out of my connection for a change.
Even IE8 is twice as fast as FF, but FF feels 'comfy'.Quote:

Restart Safari for the change to take place.Code:defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false
Ive always had a problem with Leopard using the "Aqua" look for scroll bars and just plain forgot about this until the other day. You can have the same scroll bars that you get in the newer iTunes versions like this
https://teakdoor.com/images/smilies1/You_Rock_Emoticon.gif
rather than those aqua blue ones that stick out like a sore thumb. Its not difficult to do but does mean drilling down through a lot of folders to get to the right place to change them.
Ive tried looking for the link to the file that I got but its nowhere to be found so if anyone wants to change to the iTunes scrollers let me know and I'll upload them somewhere or email them to anyone who wants them
Been poking around with Safari and as it seems with todays browsers they love to eat up RAM. Safari seems to be using the same amount as FF so its nothing new, there are a few features missing from Safari that you get in FF like saving tabs if it crashes etc so there an app called Glims
Glims build 17 for Safari | www.MacHangout.com
which adds a load of optional stuff to Safari. I think this is what might be making it use more RAM, the same as add ons do sometimes in FF.

And yes, Safari 4 is very fast and impressing. FF is installed but I don't use it anymore. I would like to have Safari on my Linux laptop.
Just hold down the CMD key while clicking a link, and it will open it in a tab, always.Quote:

Yes, Safari 4.0 is a good upgrade -- plus, aside from the speed, it brings about a lot of other enhancements and improvements.
Under 'History', use 'Reopen Tabs from Last Session'. This will open all of your tabs from before a crash. Not sure why you claim that feature isn't there.Quote:

So what if you want to delete forwards, whole words or lines?
By using these keys combined with the delete key you can do just that
Delete + Key..................................... Action
Delete .........Removes one character to the left of the insertion point
fn Delete ........Removes one character to the right of the insertion point
Option Delete .......Removes one word to the left of the insertion point
Option fn Delete ......Removes one word to the right of the insertion point
Command Delete .....Removes one line to the left of the insertion point
Command is the ⌘ key
Option is the ⌥ key
This might not work in every app/text box/document you come across but should work in plenty of them
Good tip!
How many times have you clicked on an apps name in the menu bar to go to preferences and glanced at the "Services" menu and thought, what the hell does it do?
Its quite a powerful set of tools under the right circumstances as it sort of links apps together. If you have some new app installed and it can perform actions through the Services menu it will add itself to it.
Skype is an example, if you have it installed go to Services and look for Skype, it will have options of things to do like add contact/call etc but they will be greyed out and unusable. This is because Services works by using/manipulating highlighted text (and certain files), so for example someone emails you their phone number such as +441234567890, if you highlight the number and the plus sign with Skype open, go to Services/Skype the options will now appear in black and ready to use. If you click "call" then that number will get sent to Skype and called.
Waffle, waffle, waffle, blah, blah, blah. There is a point to this which I'll get to in a minute.
I dont use Services very often for Skype, it was just an example. Where it really shines is if you do a lot of typing/text based stuff. Maybe you have a blog, write content for websites, typing out a CV, letters to the bank or typing out an excruciatingly long post on Teakdoor only to find you've left the CAPS LOCK ON.
This is where I find Wordservice a big help
Needful Things: Services
Take the above example of leaving the CAPS LOCK on, Ive done it loads of times as I type looking at the keyboard more than I do looking at the screen. It can be a real pain deleting and re-typing a wordy post so with Wordservice installed all you do is highlight the text, go to services/convert/Lowercase and hey presto all the highlighted text is now lowercase.
Theres loads of other useful things like being able to make every first letter of a sentence upper case, Make Every First Letter Of A Word Uppercase, a word/ character/line count handy if you make a lot of text based documents.
Just remember that Services works when something is highlighted and you might start to make use of it a bit more often.
Or cut & paste into a wordprocessing editor...Quote:

I might make a screencast on it if I get bored.
