Select Mail.app sender for iCal.app invitations in Snow Leopard

Monday, February 15th, 2010

See my earlier post on this geared for Leopard.

This tar file adds the functionality to iCal.app for Snow Leopard.
To use this, follow these instructions:

Quit iCal!

Backup iCal.app!

    mkdir ~/Desktop/LeopardiCalBackup
    sudo rsync -Eav --delete /Applications/iCal.app ~/Desktop/SnowLeopardiCalBackup
    sudo hdiutil create -format UDRO -srcfolder ~/Desktop/SnowLeopardiCalBackup -volname SnowLeopardiCalBackup ~/Desktop/SnowLeopardiCalBackup.dmg
    sudo rm -rf ~/Desktop/SnowLeopardiCalBackup/

Copy the dmg file somewhere safe.

Extract the modified AppleScript files:

(assumes iCal.app is in /Applications and SnowLeopardiCalSelectSender-20100215.tar is in ~/Desktop)

    cd /Applications
    sudo tar xvf ~/Desktop/SnowLeopardiCalSelectSender-20100215.tar

Run iCal.app, send an invitation and reply to one, test out the ability to select the sender for the Mail.app outgoing email.

Select Mail.app sender from iCal Invitations/Responses

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

One thing that irks me about the iCal.app / Mail.app integration on OS X is that it chooses (based on some unknown criteria) without user input the sending address (and hence account) from which to email invitations and responses to invitations.

Since I have multiple calendars and multiple email accounts, it is often that I want to choose the specific account when sending an invitation or reply to an invitation. This tar file contains the AppleScript changes necessary to create a selection box prior to sending these emails. Once a sending address is selected and OK is clicked, Mail.app will proceed with sending the iCal invitation or reply from the account corresponding to the email address.

To use this, follow these instructions:

Quit iCal!

Backup iCal.app!

    mkdir ~/Desktop/LeopardiCalBackup
    sudo rsync -Eav --delete /Applications/iCal.app ~/Desktop/LeopardiCalBackup
    sudo hdiutil create -format UDRO -srcfolder ~/Desktop/LeopardiCalBackup -volname LeopardiCalBackup ~/Desktop/LeopardiCalBackup.dmg
    sudo rm -rf ~/Desktop/LeopardiCalBackup/

Copy the dmg file somewhere safe.

Extract the modified AppleScript files:

(assumes iCal.app is in /Applications and LeopardiCalSelectSender-20071127.tar is in ~/Desktop)

    cd /Applications
    tar xvf ~/Desktop/LeopardiCalSelectSender-20071127.tar

Run iCal.app, send an invitation and reply to one, test out the ability to select the sender for the Mail.app outgoing email.

Relatively Easy NAT for Parallels

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

Parallels for Mac, unlike VMWare, does not offer NAT networking for guest operating systems. There is a relatively easy way around this, though the way I’ve implemented it requires use of the command line…

MythFrontend 0.20-fixes for OS X Universal

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

For those of you who jumped the gun and requested a release-0-20 build, then subsequently upgraded your backends…

MythFrontend 0.20 For All Mac OS X Variants

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Just a quick post to put these links up…

Some notes on these:

  1. I cannot test these since I do not have a 0.20 backend.
  2. They are built with all plugins and themes.
  3. The Intel and Universal versions contain support for the remote on Intel hardware.

If someone has an opportunity to test these (particuarly the PPC and Universal) and let me know if they work properly, I would appreciate it.

Don’t forget on Intel hardware to turn on the vector optimized video output!

UFRaw 0.9.1 for Gimpshop 2.2.11 Universal Build

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

UFRaw-0.9.1-Gimpshop-2.2.11-20060816.zip is a build of UFRaw 0.9.1 for Gimpshop 2.2.11 on Mac OS X. It is a universal binary and should function properly on both PPC and i386 Tiger. This build includes support for exif via the exiv2 library, and the specific version of exiv2 used for build is bundled.

Read on for some additional info on installation…

If you are installing this to a location other than /Applications/Gimpshop.app, select the “Choose…” button and hit Command-Shift-G. Then type the full path to the location of your Gimpshop application. Assuming Gimp.app is laid out similarly, you might be able to specify the ful path to the location of the Gimp application as well, but I don’t use this so that mode is untested.

Example:

Let’s say you have a bunch of Gimp stuff in /Applications/Gimp Stuff, including Gimpshop.app – you would hit Command-Shift-G and type: /Applications/Gimp Stuff/Gimpshop.app and use that as the installation location.

Updated UFRaw 0.8.1 for Gimpshop 2.2.11 Universal Build

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

In my last build I apparently did not ensure that I did a clean build of the executable under i386 OS X, and a dependency on libexif crept in…

UFRaw-0.8.1-Gimpshop-2.2.11-20060627.zip is an updated build without any libexif dependencies. Please install this instead of the version linked in the last post.

I will be building against exiv2 in the near future and creating an installer for the resulting libraries and executables.

UFRaw 0.8.1 for Gimpshop 2.2.11 Universal Build

Friday, June 9th, 2006

This article has been superseded.
See the update for more information.

I’ve built UFRaw 0.8.1 for Gimpshop 2.2.11 as a Universal Binary and created a point/click installer for it.

I had to build it without libexif or exiv2 support, at least for the time being. I was unable to figure out how to get libexif 0.6.13 to co-exist with the version of libexif used by Gimpshop 2.2.11.

(more after jump)

If you are installing this to a location other than /Applications/Gimpshop.app, select the “Choose…” button and hit Command-Shift-G. Then type the full path to the location of your Gimpshop application. Assuming Gimp.app is laid out similarly, you might be able to specify the ful path to the location of the Gimp application as well, but I don’t use this so that mode is untested.

Example:

Let’s say you have a bunch of Gimp stuff in /Applications/Gimp Stuff, including Gimpshop.app – you would hit Command-Shift-G and type: /Applications/Gimp Stuff/Gimpshop.app and use that as the installation location.
