  • Just got an awesome proof of concept UI from a user. It's always nice to get well thought-out visuals. Makes my job half as tough. #
  • Try it with other extensions of apps that save their documents as packages (which are really folders – just special folders). #
  • Yes, it's actually normal behavior (launches the Chess.app), but it was interesting none the less. #
  • Run that bit of #AppleScript code in Script Editor on a #Mac (sorry #Win users, this isn't for you), and you'll be "board" to death… #
  • #Mac #AppleScript tell application "Finder" set x to make new folder at (path to desktop) with properties {name:"My.game"} open x end tell #
  • Discovered #AppleScript anomaly. When making folders, beware that you don't suffix them with certain file extensions. See next tweet… #
  • Anyone using a Magic Mouse: How's the weight to form factor ratio? Much heavier than a cabled Apple Mouse? How's the tracking? Precise? No? #
