Preview versus skim?
The subject says it all. What are the pros and cons please. Thanks! - Original Message - From: "Esther" To: Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2012 2:43 AM Subject: Re: merging several PDF files into one. Hi Chris, It's actually possible to merge PDF files with Preview if you can drag and drop to the thumbnails in the sidebar, but I don't think this works with VoiceOver drag and drop -- at the very least it would be difficult. If you have Skim downloaded there's an embedded SkimPDF command line tool that lets you perform operations like merging and extracting PDF files in Terminal. If you look under: /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/ there are three applications: displayline, skimnotes, and skimpdf. You need to copy skimpdf to somewhere in your default path with executable permission using your Admin password. Open Terminal and type or paste in: sudo cp -p /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/skimpdf /usr/bin/ and press "Return". You'll be prompted to authorize with your Admin password. The "cp -p" does the copy preserving permissions so you can execute the commands. Then to merge two pdf files from the command line you can type: skimpdf merge file1.pdf file2.pdf merged.pdf The specification of an output file like "merged.pdf" is optional. I think if you don't specify an output file, the second file just gets appended to the first, but you should experiment. You can also find out the syntax of commands by typing: skimpdf help For more information, take a look at the SourceForge wiki for Skim: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/skim-app/index.php?title=Main_Page Then use the link for the "SkimPDF Command Line Tool" to find out more. There's also a specific SourceForge wiki for the SkimPDF command line tool: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/skim-app/index.php?title=SkimPDF_Tool There are probably other sources of merge tools around the web, but this works if you already have Skim anyway, and are comfortable with the Terminal command line.

Re: voiceover and greek?
Hello there. I don't exactly understand your question. I have been using Greek since the early 80s in various forms both using hardware and software synths.

Mountain Lion, Facebook, and Trillion.
Hello everyone, Has anyone had any issues accessing Facebook chat via Trillion? Before the update and install things were working fine, but lately I have not been able to chat with certain contacts who are online. We are not able to see one another as appearing online. We are not blocking each other because we can still send messages to one another. We also can still post comments, ETC. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Trillion, logged into and out of Facebook via the app and through the mobile app, but I am at a loss. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. P.S. I've used Adium and the same issue still persists. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Weird Mail Rules issue
Hi Harry, First, the All Mail thing from GMail is just there, it's something from Google and, as far as I can tell, you can't do anything about it. So, I just ignore its existence. Now, for your other issue, if the GMail Mailbox/InBox is selected when you create a new mailbox, the folder will be placed in the top level of that mailbox unless you tell it otherwise upon creation. Each mailbox is attached to each mail account. That is, your GMail InBox is attached to the GMail account and any other folders you've created are also attached to that account. Mailboxes must be attached to an account, they cannot just sit there within the Mail app without being referenced as part of a specific account. I guess, when you set it up, you could tell the folder to be located at the top level, the same as your InBoxes. I've never done that but I would assume it's possible. When you create a Mailbox, in the dialog that appears, there is a pop-up menu that is for the location of the given mailbox. With respect to mail not being placed where it's supposed to, that's either a problem with the initial setup of the rule or sometimes even with the way senders address there messages. I've noticed that sometimes people have specific people in their To field and MacVisionaries in the cc and various other interesting combinations. What I did for this is, in my rule, specified that the "To" c"Contains" "MacVisionaries" and that the "cc" "Contains" "MacVisionaries". So, in this case, you would want to match "Any" of the rules (as opposed to "All"), and by simply asking if either "contains" "MacVisionaries", it usually got around any of the differences in how others addressed their messages. HTH. Later...

Although it doesn't work for me in attachments, vo space works most of the time if you hold it down for a second, and then release. Since I started doing this, it's reliable 95 percent of the time.

LOL. That happened when I tried to download from bookshare.

Re: dictation help
Caitlyn: I am not much into bossing people around, unless they're utter morons and I have no choice, so in your case, no bossing will be necessary. To set up Dictation, Go to the menu bar with VO M, then down arrow in the Apple menu to System preferences. Enter there or VO Space. Interact with the preference pane when it comes up, and press D I or VO right until you land on Dictation and Speech. Vo Shift space there to open it. Select the Dictation Tab, and the first thing is an "on radio button," which turns Dictation on. After that, you just set up the rest of the configuration, find an edit box and tap your shortcut key twice, and off you go! Let me know if you need more help with it; I'm around and can walk you through on Skype or by call or whatever if you want. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Safari and returning to last spot on page
Unfoprunately, it's often the case where i will be on the 30th link, come back and then wind up at hte top. I can use the visited links key to get back, but after several trips off thepage even this is not always much of a shortcut.

Re: Making VLC the default player
Hi, I don't use VLC for a lot but I'm guessing that this dialog may have come up when you opened VLC for the first time. I did look around a bit in the Preferences and didn't find it either. Therefore, I'd do this for now: • Try locating an audio file that you wish VLC to open. • Press cmd-i to Get Info on the item. • Navigate to the Open With area. • Set it to VLC in the pop-up. • Press the Change All button. There may be a way whereby you remove the plist file for VLC thus when you start VLC again, it may just ask the question again. The above method should suffice though. Later...

Hmmm, as far as I can tell, when you use VO-shift-m on the dock, it just lists options for manipulating the folder. If you use this keystroke in the dock, find the "open folder" option and hit enter. Otherwise, simply open the folder from the finder with command-option-l. Then find your items and use command-backspace to delete them.

Don't know. but, to access the downloads folder off the home folder, you just press dow very quickly and you can access it. Works every single time. That is d o w and that should do it.

Re: Dropbox alerts driving me nuts
Thanks much. If I want to update dropbox to the latest version, I should just download and copy over the new app file in my app directory? Also, in Windows I can get a public link to a file in my public folder with a right click. How is this done on the Mc version? Thanks.

Re: Attachments
I have no idea why deleting from the dock doesn't work. I don't ever do it that way. I notice though that Open Downloads is one of the choices listed under the context menu, VO Shift M. If you open it, you'll be in Finder, which is the same environment in which you said the command-delete key worked to trash your files. And, keep in mind that you can have as many finder windows open as you want; E.G., you can have a Downloads finder window open all the time, even if you go back to Desktop or somewhere else on your hard drive. That way, you can always get there. Heck, now I stop to think about it, I guess you could make a Keyboard or Numpad Commander shortcut to open Downloads right away every time… • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

A way to renable the backspace key to go back a page in Safari
Has anyone tried this? Or is there a better way to get a better command to go back in Safari.. Re-enable the backspace key to go back a page in Safari 6 Aug 03, '12 07:30:00AM • Contributed by: philwo It seems like Apple disabled the "Press Backspace to go back a page" feature in Safari 6 due to users having complained about losing text entered in text fields when they accidentally pressed the backspace key. If you liked this feature, you can enable it again using this command: defaults write com.apple.Safari NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add Back "\U232b" If you ever want to disable it, there are two possibilities. The first, if you don't have any other shortcuts for Safari, is to run this command: defaults delete com.apple.Safari NSUserKeyEquivalents It will delete all Safari keyboard shortcuts. The second method is a bit more time-consuming. You need to first create a keyboard shortcut for Safari, for the "Back" command, in the preferences. Then, if you apply the first command above, you'll be able to delete it. If you don't have a shortcut set up for the Back command before running the first command above, it won't display in the Keyboard Shortcut preferences, and you won't be able to delete it from the preference pane. It seems like using the defaults command to set up a shortcut only displays that shortcut in the preference pane if you already have a shortcut created. • Currently 4.17 / 5 You rated: 3 / 5 (6 votes cast) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Two more dumb Safari questions
Hi. Wasn't there a command you could use to jump from open tab to open tab? I thought it was CTRL-tab, but that doesn't seem to be working. Also, thought there is a command that will cause VO to list all open tabs, or am I mistaken?

More problems with Menuweather
Hi everyone. I got my location issue sorted out with Menuweather. However, even though I go into preferences and check the automatically launch at startup box, I have to go into my applications and launch it manually every time I restart. When I go back into preferences, the box is not checked. Is this a sign that maybe this app is just not ML ready? Thanks!

Re: Preview versus skim?
Hi Chris, Skim has been referred to as "Preview on steroids". It's free and open source with a creative commons license, and gets frequent updates. You can download the latest version from Source Forge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/skim-app/files/ I don't know that there are any "cons" about using Skim, except that since it has a lot of options, there's more to navigate in the basic distribution, and it has more features than you will use. The quick description is that it is laid out very much like Preview, but supports annotation, so there is a second sidebar for notes. Because it uses the same base as Preview, any limitations that you find when reading PDFs in Preview will show up in Skim. So, for example, bookmarks take you back to the page you were reading but not to the exact spot in the page (unless you set hotspots). On the other hand, there are expanded features, such as being able to organize your bookmarks into folders. One situation where someone might clearly want to use Skim over Preview, is if they were reviewing a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation that was exported to PDF. These don't play nicely with Preview, even using Full Screen mode. But Skim has an additional "Presentation mode" for viewing, and you can easily display presentations in this mode, controlling page transitions, etc. So this is an easy and accessible way to give a text-based presentation or to review notes from the text content of a presentation. I originally started using Skim because it maintained more stable focus behavior than Preview in operations like search and find. When there are really good Skim features eventually they get adopted and show up in later versions of Preview. By the way, since Skim is supported as an open source effort at Source Forge and is freely available there and not through the Mac App Store, there's a Skim rip-off being sold in the Mac App Store as "PDF Reader". It's based on an old version of Skim, and I'm rather surprised that Apple hasn't pulled this, since there's no support, and the distributor is just profiting from the (old version) open source efforts of Skim. Since a number of Mac users follow Skim, and it's highly rated at various download sites like MacUpdate, a few people bought the version in the App Store when it showed up thinking that it was put out by the people who work on Skim. It's not, and you'll just be paying for an unsupported, old version. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Aug 3, 2012, at 11:28 PM, chris hallsworth wrote: > The subject says it all.

Re: Safari and returning to last spot on page
Hi Bill, that's also quite annoying to me. My work around is to remember on the links title, open by pressing VO + u the link list and type the title to find it. Then press VO + spacebar, here you are. But still it's just a work around and one additional point on Apples list to do on VoiceOver.
