Another way to clear this out is if you have a Linux machine some place; just mount that drive on the Linux box and rm -fr the folder and it won't care. I realize you might not have that option available to you but I do and it came in handy to do just that and additionally go after files on a br

It usually will automatically catch up when you wake up your machine. When this doesn't happen, you can refresh the timeline or you can refresh all views. I think Command-r refreshes main timeline and shift-command-r will refresh all views. In case I have the wrong keys listed here, you can chec

My first thought would be to use a sound editor like Amadeaus Pro or perhaps the other mentioned apps like Garage Band might allow you to manually run through the sound recording and drop markers at the end of each track and then instruct the program to split out into files delimited by these pl

Another thing I like to do with Docuscan is to select all from the HTML view of the text and copy/paste it into Text Edit. Seems to me to get better formatting that way rather than capture the RTF from Docuscan; for whatever reason, the resulting RTFs for me looked all messed up. Also, I have n

One example of zips that the standard archive utility won't open by default are epub books where you can rename to .zip and then open up for internal tweaks. I run into this all the time with the Linux Journal magazines so I use Unarchiver to deal with them. Not sure why this is the case but I'm

If you have the music browser available, just select the desired artist and then in my case, I would use VO-j to jump over to the songs list and since the artist was selected and not a single album, I would get all tracks from that artist. Then just select all tracks with Command-A and add to pl

It works on my machine too; just tried it. Yes, you could use the say command in shell or apple scripts for audible messages or prompts or whatever. I noticed it uses the system voice at default speeds which is slower than what VO does on my setup. On Jul 22, 2013, at 1:40 PM, Alex Hall wrote:
