cd to logo

> cd to … is a fast mini application that opens a Terminal.app window cd’d to the frontmost finder window. This app is designed (including it’s icon) to placed in the finder window’s toolbar. It’s written in Objective-C and uses apple events which makes it much faster than applescript applets that do the same thing. Support has been added for iTerm, xterm and pathfinder (ie Finder->PathFinder not PathFinder->Terminal).

leopardassist

LeopardAssist is a simple tool to install Leopard on older, unsupported Power Macs.

It bypasses the 867mhz processor check in Leopard install to allow systems that don’t meet the requirements to complete installation.

No modified Leopard DVD’s, no hardware hacks or tweaks, just a one-time run application. (Much like XPostFacto)

Version 2.0 overhauls the codebase at the request of testers worldwide. It attempts to improve support across all systems, including ones previously known unsupported or problematic. This version also attempts sports a completely rewritten user interface.

filesync

FileSync provides selectable synchronization of files or folders to networked Macs, external drives, USB flash drives and mounted disk images. FileSync updates recently modified files any “lone” files between Master and Copy locations. A “mirror” option is provided that only updates with the Master’s file structure and moves all “lone” files on the Copy location into the Trash. A progress window shows files updated during synchronization. A handy drawer allows storage for many synchronization lists. FileSync is universal binary.

mathusalem logo

Mathusalem is a robust and unintrusive backup system for Mac OS X Leopard, which can be used either as a System Preferences pane or directly as a command line tool.

Mathusalem is complementary to Time Machine as it backups automatically one or more directories of your choice to remote servers in order ensure extra safety of your most important data. It is an alternative to the Backup application that comes with .Mac / MobileMe if you need more control or features:

  • It supports a wide range of destinations: local drives, iDisk, WebDAV, AFP, FTP, SFTP or Amazon S3
  • It can generate archives in various formats: sparse or compressed .dmg and CPIO or ZIP archives
  • It generates fully self-contained backups i.e. data and settings which makes it possible to access them from any machine or even relocate them
  • It can restart a download or upload that failed or was cancelled by the user without having to restart the entire backup
  • It runs in low-priority mode on your machine so it doesn’t hang your CPU or hard drive
  • It runs only when necessary (it is managed by launchd like other system services)
  • It is fully open-source which means no proprietary file formats (backup data files are plain XML)
  • It stores passwords in the Keychain
  • It reports detailed information on the backup progress
  • The command line tool version can be integrated in existing tool chains or used with launchd

dashboard kickstart logo

With Dashboard KickStart (formerly Dashboard Start), you’ll always have the Dashboard ready to use the first time you want. Without it you’ll have to wait for a complete Dashboard start-up sequence as soon as you are ready use it for a first time, making its quick accessibility rather useless.

This application runs in the background and reacts to the starting or re-starting of the Dock and to waking up from sleep mode. When that happens it initiates the starting of the Dashboard.

whatsopen logo

whatsopen

WhatsOpen is a quick utility that came out of an MMUG meeting. Someone posed a question regarding how to tell what application has a volume open so they could quit out of it and eject the removable media. It is a somewhat common error that a file on a removable device is held open by one thing or another and the system will not eject it. This program lists all open files on your system, with an option to filter them, and then allows you to kill the application that has a selected file open. Pretty straight forward but something that a lot of people seemed interested in at the meeting so I whipped one up quickly.
