  • Quicksilver Quick Print Tip

    I’ve been a bit light on Quicksilver love lately, and for the fans out there, I apologize. (Though from some of the comments I’ve seen, there are those who appreciate this, so there ya go.) But this morning there’s a great tip that Merlin points out, coming from the Mac Law Students Blog.

    If you print a lot of files, but hate waiting on the applications to open just so you can hit Print, then this tip will really light your fire. Essentially you eliminate the middle man using Quicksilver (it does this a lot, and I love it!) to send all your print jobs rather than Word, or Preview, or whatever.

    While the above image should tell the tale, reading the full post will show you how to setup Quicksilver to do this for yourself, as well as show you different methods to use this.

    And don’t worry, there are more of my own Screencasts on the way. In fact I’ve got a doozy I’m working on [which is Quicksilver focused] and hope to drop later this week.

  • Next Gen iPod Interface Footage?

    I doubt this is legitimate footage of the next interface we’ll see on forthcoming iPods, but in the interest of helping you waste a little time, you can see the video below. It definitely looks like Apple’s style, but the functionality of the interface itself seems a bit behind the curve. Perhaps part of me is just hopeful that we’ll see something similar to what I wrote about here in the next iteration of the mobile audio juggernaut.

  • Default Apps Across Platforms in Parallels

    I found something neat when I updated my Parallels install at work today - SmartSelect. For someone like me, already unable to function without Parallels' Coherence mode, this is just a further step in this app's takeover of the way I work. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, it's a pretty simple concept (that was probably a bit harder in execution.) You can choose to open any file with any app – on your Mac, or on the virtual machine.
    A quick screenshot from my computer, and there you see it.

    Parallels will automatically start your VM, run the app, and open the file. It doesn’t need to be running, either.

    Why so nice?

    -Comparing webpages in IE, Firefox for Mac and Windows, Safari for Mac and Windows, Opera, whatever.
    -That stubborn app that doesn't have a Mac version? Default its file types to open in Parallels, and Parallels will automatically detect the request and start the app.
    -Any Adobe CreativeSuite app. There is no need at all for a Windows and a Mac version of that expensive license, and you still don't have to wait for massive .psd documents to copy to the Parallels VM. Or even better, for those who don't want to run it in Rosetta.
    -Applescripts in Windows file trees. Dave's AppleScripts for iTunes, anyone?

    That's four reasons for my 40$ upgrade, but here's another: I need to know whether I can do this with my Ubuntu VM too.
