Applescript and quod libet app free#

I have dozens of gigabytes of free stock photos and artwork and photos that I've taken, and while I haven't tried Aperture, iPhoto did not handle this well, and it didn't let me use it as a way to organize metadata without making copies of all the files. Some people's needs are different enough that you need some freedom to choose. This is not a case of not having selected the right default or not having 'designed' it right.

These are not things that every user wants to see, so it has to be customizable. The GNOME panel lets me put all of these somewhere omnipresent in a nice, small form factor with no fuss. There are a few things I want to see on the screen at all times: memory usage, mounted disks, the current weather, the current time. Give me a panel I can really customize, not just drop applications onto.

It took about five tries to explain the difference between an 'open' and 'closed' application on the mac to my grandmother, because the icon to indicate this difference is literally about 9 pixels, and applications will happily stay open forever with no visible windows. The idea of a single virtual monitor you can 'move to' makes more sense to every user I've ever talked to than the mac's 'invisible sheets with a menu bar and icon stuck to them' mental model you're supposed to adopt with the mac desktop. I've heard it said that this would be 'too hard' for new users, but I think that's wrong. I'm aware that there are a few third-party programs, but it would be much nicer to have there be one right way to do it. I move windows, maximize, minimize, resize and otherwise shuffle things around all the time - not using any crazy third-party utility, but the built-in keybindings in Metacity.ДЇor that matter, building virtual desktops into the OS wouldn't hurt. During normal use of my Ubuntu desktop, the only time I have to use the mouse is to quickly select links in a poorly-designed application (usually a web application, where keyboard bindings are really hard to get right). Following the structure of Ted's rant, here are some things that Apple might do to make me 'switch':ДЄdd some keyboard shortcuts. My experiences with Ubuntu have made me disappointed with Apple though, and I despair of MacOS ever being my platform of choice again.

Through the first few years of my career as a professional programmer, I had the absolute first release of MacOS X server, and every beta of MacOS X. I grew up on the Mac, and I will always have a soft spot in my heart for them. So, rather than pointing out how a user such as Ted might hobble through Ubuntu-land, I'll give an explanation from my point of view: for me, Ubuntu is indispensible, and the Mac is basically unusable. I understand a great many people use it, and more power to you, but it's just not likely to be relevant to me any time in the near future.) (I am not mentioning KDE here because the last few times I've tried it, it has crashed constantly, and that mirrors my abysmal experience with programming PyQT. Also, DVI and EDID are (as far as I can tell) far enough along that the hardware side of color profiling would be possible in Linux these days, it's just up to the OS and the desktop to support it.

The lack of some unified scripting approach is particularly embarrassing the fact that it is easier to script applications in both major proprietary desktops (OS X through Applescript, Windows through COM) is sad. There are some definite weak areas on the Linux desktop that MacOS X addresses well. I started to respond by giving pointers to various half-solutions to these problems Deskbar or Arnic to replace Quicksilver, for example but he really has a point. Ted Leung has a very good list of the things the open-source desktop should be doing.
