I have some files which must be shared for all users (see my previous
threads). Thats why I had those files in the past in /library/preferences/
and now for Lion in /applications/myFolder/
which works for fresh installations. Now I wanted to migrate my files for
existing installations, who upgrade

Hey Charles that actually works pretty well. I did notice that a negative

So, heerza deal,
One stack, several cards, two groups on each card, groups behave as
backgrounds. Top of one group is 1, bottom is 199. Top of second group is 200,
bottom is 740. This group has a vertical scroll bar.
"Resizable" for the stack is turned off. "Lock size and position" is on, for
So perhaps having a second stack which opened a shell that moved the files as
an elevated process? Interesting.

I think for my usage of offering a migration tool it's a bit to much. I
think I'll let die my old files where they are and let the user install them
fresh in the new location. If somebody complains about my dead files I'll

At first I thought this was just an amateur tinkering with a clock. But

I also tried to just copy the files (cp), which works with standard files,
but not with a hidden file (dotFilename).
Any ideas?

I think if Apple decided to lock people out of their own preference files, they
should have provided a migration utility themselves.

Maybe time for sharing some hidden scripts.

Oh hey that's awesome! I ended up crafting a SQL query to do it by querying the

itself with all the records in an array stored locally.
I will have to test both methods and see how it goes. I am really leaning

I've had the same situation myself and ended up querying the database rather
than searching the datagrid. Main reason was that it's possible that the

Two things on OS X can cause vertical resizing problems:

If the dock is on the bottom of the screen (even if it is hidden)

really suited to playing track
