bug report for itunes 8.1 I submitted to apple. Just letting you all know
Good day list members. I've sent a bug report to apple that has to do with importing playlist data from a text file. The playlists export to text ok but they don't import again. I had to downgrade to 8.02 to get all of the tunes back on my ipod. Incase anyone is wondering I've tried this on another mac and I get the same results. If you wish to discuss this later I'd be happy to discuss what I know whether it needs to be taken off list or not.

TK: You'll need to turn cursor tracking off to perform these actions. • Select the text you wish to format. • Turn Cursor Tracking off by pressing VO-Shift-f3 (add FN on a Laptop). • Stop Interacting with the Layout area. • Navigate to the respective formating control. • Don't forget to turn Cursor Tracking on again (same command as turning it off), otherwise you may be frustrated with some actions of VO. > JJH: Also, on a related note, how can I tell what page of a document I'm on? TK: This part of the document doesn't appear to be read by VO. You could go to the Toolbar, activate the View pop-up menu and turn on thumbnail view which would allow you to quickly see how many pages you have and instantly navigate to specific pages.

Re: Python programming on OSX
Good evening, I have found out that xcode supports pyObjC bindings. Which means that you can create cocoa GUIs with python. This should provide for accessible applications, but I imagine the learning curve is quite steep. There is also support for PHP binding to cocoa, but I don't believe that it is built into xcode.

Re: easy way to run orca in fusion. was: VMware fusion and orca on a macbook?
Hi listers, When running orca in fusion, there is an easy way to change its modifier key without going into a terminal in ubuntu. Since this is relevant to fusion and the mac, I'm posting it here. These are the instructions. First, within ubuntu, go into the keyboard settings, which is under the preferences menu. Next, select apple as the keyboard type. Hit tab, and under variant, select laptop. Next, hit the more options button. The first button that comes up says caps lock. Press it, and then you can select different radio buttons that modify the caps lock function. The one you want to press is swap caps lock with escape. Essentially, this makes the two keys change position on your keyboard. This is important, because fusion sends escape through to the vm. It does not do this with caps lock when it is held down. Now that caps lock and escape have been swapped, you can use escape as your orca modifier key successfully. Don't forget to hit the button that says apply system wide when you're done. Also, don't forget to have orca's keyboard layout set to laptop. Hope that helps someone, as I find the terminal instructions to create key mapping files quite cryptic. .
