Is anyone using Chroma player? If so, I have 2 questions, I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. First, Chroma doesn't save my playlist contents, so I have to add the items back every time I start the program. What can I do about this?

And second, is there any way to set the subtitle position? For me, the subtitles show up way too high, I want to set them to a lower position.

Thanks. :)

My take is if Apple doesn?t include these tools in OS X, it?s because it doesn?t need them.

Except when your cache or Spotlight index goes corrupt. Yes, you can fix that through Terminal as well. Hitting a button however is more convenient for people that lack UNIX experience.

I'm afraid of messing something up with Onyx. Is it pretty easy to goof up my OSX install with it?

If you don't know what you're doing it can be potentially harmful.

I believe if you manage to find a way to corrupt your cache or Spotlight index, you?re advanced enough to use Google to know what to type in Terminal? :laugh:

Corrupt cache or Spotlight index can be caused by something as simple as installing a system update, large software suite, crash or whatever. It doesn't require you to have any special skills, so what you're saying here doesn't make much sense.

To fix the Spotlight issue, just rebuild it by:

1. Going into System Preferences > Privacy

2. Add your "Macintosh HD" drive to the list

3. After 5 seconds, remove the Macintosh HD drive

4. Within 10 seconds, it should start rebuilding your Spotlight index! :)

I'm looking for a good duplicate finding program, so I can clean up my HD's, and also what is a good file renamer? I use to use Tag&Rename on Windows and looking for something that is just as good as that one.

You can use Automator to batch rename files.

Just read about DupeZip a few days ago, don't know if it's any good.

Is that good for renaming and tagging mp3s?

Thanks, but there's no free version in the US app store.

An app called Fantastical (MAS link) was just released, and it's one of the best augments I've ever seen to iCal/Outlook/Entourage.

I know iCal will have some natural language parsing in Lion, but the natural language parsing engine in Fantastical is absolutely incredible (e.g. it perfectly parses something like "Lunch at 1pm with Bob at Panera", even allowing you to invite Bob to the event). It also comes with Services and AppleScript support for good measure, and plays nicely with my new app-launcher of choice, Alfred (by using Alfred's shell script abilities).

Oh, and it looks great too. :p

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better. If you are in the market for one, then grab this Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36 kit with RGB for a low price of just $340 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The kit is compatible with both AMD and Intel systems as it supports both EXPO and XMP overclocking profiles, respectively. 6000 MT/s is often the sweet spot for many systems as it provides ample data transfer speed while still being on Gear 1 mode.

The technical specifications of the Corsair Vengeance memory kit are given in the table below: Specification Value Memory Type DDR5 Memory Size (Total) 32GB Kit Configuration 2 × 16GB Form Factor UDIMM (Desktop) Pin Count 288-pin Speed (Data Rate) 6000 MT/s Speed Rating PC5-48000 Tested CAS Latency 38-44-44-96 Voltage (Tested) 1.35V Performance Profile AMD EXPO & Intel XMP Heat Spreader Aluminum heatspreader Cooling Type Passive (Heatsink) Lighting Ten Zone RGB Software Support Corsair iCUE Get it at the link below: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000 CL38 – Gray (CMH32GX5M1E6000Z38): $339.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US, Fulfilled by Amazon US) This Woot deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
