#Setup msgfiler first time update#

Somehow, I am deeply afraid that was an oversight on someone’s part and that a subsequent update will remove them. I also especially like it that the old hotkeys, which are part of the macOS oral tradition and have been passed on from parent to son since time immemorial, still work. I like the new take on screenshots and quick annotation. Mind you, it still chokes on some completions, but one in ten is much better than several times in each attempt. To whomever at Apple finally remembered that QuickSilver did this perfectly, my sincere thanks. Instead of invoking it and having it choke after the first couple of letters, it now actually considers applications to be useful to users, and is smart enough to suggest launching “Microsoft Word” when I type mw. Much to my continued amazement, Spotlight actually works as an app launcher now. It also didn’t hurt that MsgFiler was cheaper, does one thing extremely well and is almost exactly what I was considering developing myself. MsgFiler works as a standalone application (although it does have an optional plug-in for better performance) and is available on the App Store.I didn’t like it that SmallCubed decided to build their own third-party sync server for MailTags (which I had installed, but seldom used), and.Having said that, the big news for me is the presence of an actual option to manage plugins in Mail: The new plugin preferences option in MailĪs you might have surmised from the picture above, I decided to take this opportunity to move from Mail Act-On to MsgFiler, because:

I still can’t really figure out how to update my infamous HJKL plugin just yet (and it is still very much not a priority, I’m afraid), but I will be looking for more info soon since I do have something else in mind to build. The domain/default pair of (/System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Resources/Info, PluginCompatibilityUUID ) does not exist $ defaults read /System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Resources/Info PluginCompatibilityUUID $ defaults read /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/ist PluginCompatibilityUUID Surprise, huh? Fortunately, some things (like one of the introspection commands to obtain compatibility UUIDs) seem to be still valid: Mail PluginsĪnd, again, mail plugins have changed. For years now I’ve been using a set of 20-odd triangle patterned wallpapers that rotate every 30 minutes at random (on both the Mac and Windows) and am quite fond of them, but I’d like to experiment with daytime-aware versions. On a side note, I also found a nice CLI utility to build dynamic wallpaper HEIC files that I intend to investigate, since it incorporates a lot of detail regarding how carefully thought out the feature actually is. My kids soon figured out how to toggle Dark Mode via Automator, so I just added that to my scripts folder (it’s great when you start farming out this sort of thing to your offspring).

I soon found a neat little utility called Night Owl that does exactly that, but I ended up preferring to do manual toggles. To my surprise, Apple removed that option, and even though there are hacks to force Aqua system appearance in Dark Mode (thereby keeping the title bar and the Dock dark while forcing apps to look “normal”), I am not very keen on using them 1.Īnother thing that is mysteriously absent is the ability to change modes on sun down. I’m not a fan of Dark Mode, but I do miss the dark title bar.

4 min read First Impressions of macOS MojaveĪfter catching up on Mojave and detecting a gaping void as far as upgrade disaster stories are concerned, I decided to install macOS Mojave on my laptop last Thursday, and quickly formed a few key impressions.
