Snow Leopard – Automator – Remove .svn and .DS_Store
by justin on Jul.12, 2010, under Apple, Programming
Here are the shell scripts for removing .svn and .DS_Store when using an Automator Service script. Just make sure to set the service receive selected to pass files/folders and to do so “As Arguments”.
.svn
do
find "$f" -name .svn -print0 | xargs -0 chflags -R nouchg
find "$f" -name .svn -print0 | xargs -0 rm -fr
done
.DS_Store
do
find "$f" -name .DS_Store -print0 | xargs -0 rm -fr
done
Now once you save the scripts, you will have a right click contextual item in Finder for folders/files to be able to remove .svn folders and .DS_Store files. I suggest these two scripts be two separate automator workflows and not combined.
Mac Mini Fan Constantly Running?
by justin on Feb.12, 2010, under Apple, Tech
Did you recently upgrade your hard drive, or RAM in your mac mini? I did, and I found out that the fan constantly ran simply because I forgot to reconnect the fan control wire (thermal wire). Below is my mac mini spec:
And here is a shot of the fan wire that needed to be plugged in.
When pulling apart the mini, that cable has to be unplugged. It’s very easy to forget you did it. Therefore, if you have to open the mini up again, don’t pull it apart, all you have to do is remove the frame, and then you have access to the wire to plug it in. Hope you have small fingers
