Just recently I had a chance to talk to a guy doing software development for ****.
He said that the design philosophy is aimed at a “little girl” level of understanding of the OS.
“asking a user is a cop out” was the attitude.
Make the OS idiot-proof by restricting access to even desktop pictures.
The more “secretive” and protected the OS is the less service calls and “problems”, and the advanced users will find their way to hack it anyway.
That’s just a random bunch of semi-quotes.
I think I understand their approach, but for me it feels a bit insulting. -
Hear hear!
MOre and more Apple seems to assume that we are illiterate morons.
There are gigs upon gigs of the HD chewed up by drivers, sounds, themes and language packs in apps.You can set spotlight to search for all files.
At the moment spotlight is looking into the Libraries, but can’t display hidden files.
To enable spotlight to the hidden file you need to manually edit a couple of .plist files.
You may have to search the net to find the exact changes.The easier way is to use the Finder’s Find option, and set it to display hidden files.
Go Command+F, under Kind, go to “other” and add “System files” to the list and set them to “show” – easy and safe, but not spotlight.Otherwise get “disk inventory X” and see (and delete) the unwanted chunks of data.

Thanks for your reply.
I’ll try the suggested solutions. The only issue I see with them is that they require “burning” the white area, the problem there may be that we wanted to show the RGB lighting hitting different object and they may become “flat” where burnt…
Will give it a go anyway.

The only issue I ever had was wit backup.
Backup worked on a “Macintosh HD” and after renaming created a new set fo the new name.
On restore it did a restore to a NEW, HIDDEN volume in /volumes called with the old “Macintosh HD”.
Took me a while to find it and manually move the restored files to where they should be.
Advice: Do not rename if you have ran a backup!!!IQ

Lucky you then,
I am one of many for whom the mail plays up while Forwarding a message with an attachment. The attachment appears in the FWD, but not the message text itself.
I am not dissing the Beta, but thinking back I wouldn’t have installed it.
Better wait for the next update.https://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1187&start=15

OK, it’s official, reading help helps.
“A common mistake when using rail splines is to use a path spline with adaptive interpolation. This can generate insufficient subdivision for the rail to work properly

Thank you good people!
Bear – looks like there are several overlapping polys in the corners in your file. The shape is fine – thanks, but the geometry is “un-clean”.
jimzepellin – I must say I am not aware of the setting you mentioned.
However I found a strange solution, I don’t understand it, but hey, after all I don’t have to, do I?
“Round” the path with more than 6 (original) points seems to work when the path is rounded with 11 or 16 points – strange indeed.
I must say that after 6 years of using c4d, this one really stumps me. I see no logic in the behaviour, and from where I seat, I’d be tempted to use the word bug. At the end of a day, what could be easier than sweeping a rectangle along a path?
Thanks again, more words of wisdom are welcome.
