Mac OS upgrade advice?

[Corentin Cras-Méneur]

So it uses the nonIE box model? I'm not familiar with WebKit, either.

I should have said WebCore to be more precise
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/webcore/ . It's basically a
bunch of resources for the "web-engine" developped by Apple that third
party developers can use to display web pages in their apps.
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ gives a lot fo information about
all that.
Safari uses it and so do other apps that display html like Shiira,
NetNewsWire, BBEdit (preview window)... Most of the apps directly use
the Web Kit, but OmniWeb used the WebCore and made some modifications to
it for a better page rendering. It is non-IE based and has been
developped from the Konkeror (Linux Web Browser from the KDE user
interface) source code.

Michel Bintener provided a pretty good link in a previous post if you
want to know more about all that.

Even Nokia is using Webkit in their newest phones!

Nice... THanks for the link. I had clearly missed this one.

I think the point of Spotlight is that you don't need to know where to look,
actually. You can just let your files live anywhere! Paths don't matter!
Who needs folders!


What a nightmare! I like my orderly folder structure.

PS. Surely Spotlight has some sort of control-click or cmd-click to show
the path? That doesn't make sense, not to.

Sometimes I need the path name, especially since I'm a web designer and
graphic designer. In Design links to images via paths. If I need to
find an image it lists, I need to know how to get there, especially
when I need to relink an image. Websites are a mass of pathnames.

I've looked all over Spotlight, and I can't find a way to show the pathname.

OmniGroup has a website for tech-savvy people which you should find
interesting:

http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/developer/

And while you're on the website, you should have a look at OmniWeb's
features. It is definitely a great browser, and I'm having a hard time
deciding on whether I should buy it or not. I do have a couple of problems
with it:

* I think that it is kind of slow, slower than Safari 2.0.2 at least, and it
also takes quite some time to start up.

* there's the (small) price tag in a world which offers so many browsers for
free. (I'm not blaming OmniGroup for that, though; they clearly invest a lot
of work in their products and should be rewarded for it.)

Hmm, it is about time I consulted my Magic 8 Ball widget on this.

Interesting. I'll check it out.

Well, I don't have Spotlight, but I did install a free little utility that,
among other things, lets one right-click and Copy Path. In Panther, anyhow,
it works fine from the Find results without opening the enclosing folder.
Sounds like something that might be useful for you?

It's the Ranchero Big Cat plugin, which puts a Scripts folder in the
contextual menu for control-click, and then the Copy Path script is included
in their default install.

You can actually do that, only it's not as straightforward as it is in the
Find window. When you instruct Spotlight to find a file, hit Enter to show
all the results. The Spotlight window should now open with a list of all the
files it has found. Can you see the discreet "i" on the right side of the
window? Clicking on that one will give you more info on the file, including
its path. Also, you can ctrl-/right-click a file and select "Reveal in
Finder" to see the file in its

When using spotlight from the right-most menu icon, just hold the
cursor over the item you want to find the path to. In a few seconds the
patw will show up.

HTH,

I just use Find, as I mentioned in my first post. No need to add a
program. I don't need to copy and paste the path, I just need to see
the path.

No, I don't see the "i", but I did notice that if I hovered over the
item, a window came up with the pathname in it. Kewl.
