Yeah, we got lots of requests to add these three additional data fields to the already very versatile Icon View in , so here they are:

EXIF Lens Name, Camera Name, and Camera Maker.

And yes, you can sort these, too.

There's people arguing that the Apple Crush! ad is "neat" and "fun".

It's literally showing the wanton destruction of things we love and make us human. Including shots that makes you identify with the things as a viewer.

I don't understand what's wrong with people. Do they not have emotions?

@thomasfuchs

OMG, I just watched that ad, and it is so awful, really awful. Just plain trash.
But I am not surprised that Apple chose it.

I think that in the blaze of counting the trillions $$$, Apple really forgot what the Mac and then iOS users once really loved about the platform.

Hint: It wasn't this.

The Photo Contact Sheet in my NeoFinder software for macOS is a great way to generate a PDF document of your photo library, and the new version has more customizations than ever.
Check it out!

Really, macOS 14 is such a

And yeah, it is the latest version 5.1 of "SF Symbols.app", and of course, this message lies, as the app is actually NOT damaged, and can be launched with the "open" contextual menu command.

This is such a bad joke, really...

Since when does AVPlayerView install its own context menu with weird and unwanted "sharing" commands, overriding the menu I have set myself?

Sigh. Is there documentation for that? I couldn't find anything...

cdfinder,
@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

I fixed it!

You can use "allowsVideoFrameAnalysis" property on the AVPlayerView to deactivate this unwanted thing.

Of course, this is NOT documented in the official release notes, which were always suspiciously short:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/appkit-release-notes-for-macos-13

I only found a reference to that in 2022 video 10026.

What if the mobile user flow would be:

  1. You form an intent
  2. You select the function that fulfils this intent
  3. You open the function and perform the function

Just finished “Record of a Spaceborn Few,” by Becky Chambers

Set in the same universe as (and with some references to) her “The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet,” and “A Closed and Common Orbit,” this is a another lovely, humane look at community, belonging, history and intentionality.

Herrlich, wenn man ein Deutschlandticket hat, und es dann nicht bei einer Kontrolle vorzeigen kann.

Wer haftet eigentlich für diesen Fall?

The list of supported RAW file formats in #NeoFinder 8.6 is getting longer and longer, and this time we have added the Olympus ".ORI" format to be cataloged, with thumbnails and metadata...

And another in 14.4.1 that never bothered to fix.

Is 17.4.1 really 17.4.1? Or what?

This one is laughable, but it shows the complete lack of quality control from Apple these days.

And yes, that one has been around at least for three years, we had reported it, but hey.

cdfinder,
@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

@arnan

Yeah, totally!

Their software quality is so unbelieveable bad, crazy really. They should be ashamed.

cdfinder,
@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

@luigigreco

Wow, sure, that is possible, but:

I am not sure if that is not even worse? Apple releasing the name version again, and no way for a user to determine that? That is really really bad.

And also, this information in the Finder window was still so wrong before.

It is only SEVEN years after we had reported this glaring and obvious bug in the ExFAT driver of macOS, and yes, it is still here today in 14.4.1

No, , that drive has NOT been created or updated in January 1970.

How I wish Apple would actually start fixing their bugs for once.

And yes, the ExFAT driver in macOS has a LOT more bugs.

cdfinder, to macos
@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

Wow, it is 14.4.1 already, and we are still getting these stupid untitled and misleading "notifications" from the badly designed and completely undocumented "security" features in macOS when adding a launch item.

Oh .
We had reported this dangerous and stupid bug two years ago already, but of course Apple has ignored it, like thousands of other bugs.

macOS is such a horrible

Not looking forward to May, because I need to update from Ventura to Sonoma before WWDC.

It's a shitshow.
Can't get it to use my calendars, it messes up access privileges , and again after reboot , "System Settings" hangs all the time, external monitors still mess up after waking from sleep, and so much more.
14 is a really awful experience.

Watermark with an image! Until now, we had the option to have a text as a visual watermark, but now there can also be images!

Patch in your company logo, or whatever to your exported photos!

So, it turns out that in 14 , if you have a NSPopUpButton, and use removeFromSuperview and then later addSubview to add that item again to a view, macOS doesn't draw the button properly, until it gets clicked at least once.

(setting up said Popup is very expensive, as in "slow", in the app in question, so for 15 years, it was a working idea to keep it around)

Awesome.

Yet another in the long long list of massive problems in the system frameworks in .

Q: Could you advise whether to format a new external drive as APFS or Mac OS Extended?

Interesting question indeed.

What format would you use?

cdfinder,
@cdfinder@techhub.social avatar

@spidermedic

Yes, that was once the official stance from Apple indeed.

But HFS+ doesn't really fare so well for very large volumes with a huge number of smaller files, due to the allocation block size.

In these cases, APFS, though slower, might be a better choice...
