That worked. I guess I'd done that once before.

It might be a nice feature to allow users to specify their document root and set this for them as part of the setup wizard, as I'm sure a lot of people use the ~/Sites folder. It's definitely more convenient.

Thanks,
Michael

I got the new version, and I was able to import all the old hosts, but none of them work. I have the latest version and I have re-run the setup wizard. Also deleting one a recreating does not help. Getting 403 forbidden errors on all hosts.

Actually, after re-running the set up, I get this sort of error now now:

"Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://beta.dev/” because Safari can’t find the server “beta.dev”."

v2 lost all my hosts!

I just downloaded and paid for 2.0, and all my virtual hosts I had set up in 1.x did not appear in the new version, even after re-running the set-up.

mpmchugh replied on June 08, 2009 02:25 to the idea "Allow for easy custom DVD/Blu-ray/HD-DVD cover TIFs" in Delicious Monster:

I wasn't asking for a way to remove them, just a way to override them in a standardized fashion for those of us that would like to. It's not terribly different from the way Wil built in the "Unbordered" option for the format field.

Similarly, it'd be nice to be able to override the default shelf theme again, as was once possible in DL 1, though it was somewhat of a hack.

It'd also be nice to have a way to easily import custom Web export themes too.

My general point is that customization options are good. DL currently doesn't have much of anything in the way of customization abilities.

All of these would allow for user community input of themes and such that can only be good for the product's popularity in the long run.

Allow for easy custom DVD/Blu-ray/HD-DVD cover TIFs

I've never liked the default cover TIFs for DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray boxes as they have too much simulated glare and frankly make the covers all look kind of dull.

I was able to edit them to my liking and replace them inside the app's resources directory, but I have to replace them every time there's an update.

It'd be nice if there was a place, perhaps in ~/Library/Application Support/Delicious Library, where we can put customized resources that DL would use to override the default ones.

That's cool. One interesting thing about Red Laser, is they are offering an SDK to allow other developers to access it's scans — might be a nice option for customers to get iPhone scanning while DM works on it's method.

Beyond the fact that it's the first accurate iPhone barcode scanner for UPC and EAN, probably the most noteworthy thing about RedLaser is that the developers are not keeping the technology locked in their own products. Instead, they've made an SDK available so others can integrate it in their apps too.

Always good to have options! :-)

Has DM seen Red Laser: The First Accurate iPhone Barcode Scanner

Red Laser: The First Accurate iPhone Barcode Scanner
ismashphone.com — Red Laser, which has just hit the iTunes App Store, is the ultimate iPhone barcode scanner, which works just like one of those red-laser scanners at the checkout (hence the name.)

mpmchugh asked a question in ExpanDrive on April 23, 2009 01:19:

Is 2.0 ready for prime time?

I'm happy to pay for an upgrade — I already did in fact, eventhough this does not feel like it deserved the 2.0 moniker and price at this point. Is 2.0 ready for prime time? Was it fully tested on PPC Macs?

It seems horribly slow, and an I get a lot of spinning beach balls clicking on directories, some of which show up empty, when I know they are not.

This is particularly happening on symlinked directories, which didn't work at all in 1.x. Now they seem to only half work.

Eject doesn't seem to work sometimes, or it disappears from the sidebar, but it still listed as connected in the Expandrive menu.

Very frustrating. I feel I should downgrade now.

odd. copy and paste used to work in v1 in the pop-up artwork window, which seems to be no more...

mpmchugh replied on March 20, 2009 20:34 to the question "MobileMe prefs and setup syncing?" in The Cosmic Machine:

Cool. I'l check this out. I'm using DropBox to sync other things already.

mpmchugh asked a question in The Cosmic Machine on March 20, 2009 20:25:

MobileMe prefs and setup syncing?

Any plans to sync settings and things like saved profile peeks via MobileMe or some other method for those of us with multiple computers?

mpmchugh replied on March 16, 2009 09:37 to the update "We have a new header!" in Get Satisfaction:

Nice update. I really like it... BUT is there still no way to remove products from my dashboard? I really think the rating should be separate from what you are following, which just needs to be a yes/no toggle.

mpmchugh started following the idea "Netflix on Apple TV" in boxee.

mpmchugh replied on February 16, 2009 22:05 to the question "How can I remove a product from my dashboard" in Get Satisfaction:

4 months in no way equals "soon"

mpmchugh started following the idea "Web Publish Feature: Add the ability to create new templates." in Delicious Monster.

mpmchugh replied on February 11, 2009 00:56 to the question "should MobileMe Bookmarks sync be on or off? does it matter?" in Xmarks:

so, if it does work okay with it, should it be on on all 3 of my computers (all of which now have Foxmarks for Safari) or should it just be on one? I guess I'm just afraid that having two syncing systems on each of three machines are too many cooks in the syncing kitchen. ;-)
