It's been a while. A few mac-hacks I've found handy and needed to record:
Screenshots are great for documentation... Command+Shift+4 for a grab has been used quite often, but I dislike it dropping directly to the desktop, here's how to change the 'save' location:
Open a terminal:
$ defaults write com.apple.screencapture location <path>
$ killall SystemUIServer
example:
Make a folder on the Desktop call 'Screenshots'
$ defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/runecaster/Desktop/Screenshots/
$ killall SystemUIServer
Another one is apple thinks it's prudent to record everything you've downloaded.
Open a terminal and type the following:
$ sqlite3 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.QuarantineEventsV* 'select LSQuarantineDataURLString from LSQuarantineEvent'
see? Not cool.
clear it this way:
$ sqlite3 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.QuarantineEventsV* 'delete from LSQuarantineEvent'
