Every time you launch the Photoshop CS6 beta you see a “Continue Trial” message, which you have to dismiss before using the app.
You can auto quit this with Keyboard Maestro
Download
the macro, import it into Keyboard Maestro and it should auto quit Adobe Application Manager when you launch Photoshop.

Marc Edwards of Bjango made some
actions for the Photoshop CS6 beta that enable and disable pixel snapping using F15 and
⇧F15. I wanted to use a single key to toggle them on and off so made some macros in Keyboard Maestro.
Once you’ve imported the macros into Keyboard Maestro you can change the key you use to toggle them (make sure you use the same key to activate both macros). You shouldn’t need to change the F15 and ⇧F15 keys used within the macros (and the Photoshop actions), it should work even if you have the smaller keyboard without those keys. But you can change them if you like.
I added Growl notifications to show what’s happening but you can disable or delete them in Keyboard Maestro if you prefer.

I didn’t want to convert anything or manually add the metadata as I use Plex to watch them rather than importing them into iTunes, so I just used the part that sorts and renames the TV shows so that they appear in Plex. I tweaked them a little to how I wanted them renaming and also made it all work using Hazel only (where the other ones also use Automator for some of the renaming).
They’re much better than the
old ones I created as it’s not necessary to create separate rules for each TV show. It should recognise any TV show by the name, copy it to a folder to be renamed and then automatically sort them into their appropriate sub-folders in your TV Shows folder. It even works with new TV shows and creates the necessary folders in your TV Shows folder.
The rules aren’t available to download from the tutorials on MacTalk.com. So after remaking them myself I thought I’d export them so that other people could download them, and not have to remake them again themselves. (I’m using the
latest beta of Hazel 3 on Lion. If you’re using Hazel 2 or earlier they might not work.)
To use them first download
these rules and import them into Hazel for your Downloads folder.
Create a folder somewhere for copying the TV shows to, so that they can be renamed and then sorted into your TV Shows folder (mine’s called “Media Sorting”).
Double click on the “Copy TV show to Media Sorting folder” rule and change the folder at the bottom to point to your own folder for sorting the TV shows.
Then download
these rules and import them into Hazel for media sorting folder.
Edit the top 2 “Sort to…” rules to make them point to your own TV shows folder.
That should be it.
If you find any TV shows with different naming formats that aren’t picked up by Hazel you should be able to create some new rules to work with them. Or let me know and I’ll see if I can get it working with them.

Now we can change apps’ names *as well as* icons it makes a few things possible. Not just with @Twitterrific

I like the idea of
AirDrop but wanted to be able to send files to my other Macs without having to open the AirDrop Finder window, without having to accept receiving the files on the other Macs, and without the Macs having to be turned on (or awake).
So I came up with something using AppleScript,
Dropbox and
Hazel.
With this you drop files onto the droplet (app) on the Desktop or placed in the Dock.
It then shows a dialogue window asking where the files should be copied to.
You select a button and it copies the files to a specific folder in Dropbox. Once the files have synced over to the other Macs, Hazel (running on each Mac) moves them to the Desktop.
Put one of the “Copy to Macs” droplets on the Desktop (or wherever you like, and drag it to the Dock).
Place the “Homebrew AirDrop” folder in your Dropbox folder.
Open one of the “Copy to Macs” droplets in AppleScript Editor and you can change the name of the buttons to whatever you like. If you do this then also change the names for them at 2.a and 3.a to match the button names.
If you want to move the “Homebrew AirDrop” folder to another location in Dropbox then change the path in the AppleScript (2.b and 3.b, (and 4.b. if you use the 3 button version)).
Then on the other Macs open Hazel, add the folders (~/Dropbox/Homebrew AirDrop/Send to Mac 1, or Send to Mac 2) and create a rule similar to the screenshot.

I began writing this blog post a week after Sparrow 1.0 release so I’ll talk about this version only. Minor updates released a little later don’t really deal with the UI, so most (if not all) of my points are still valid. Also, this blog post is meant to express my own opinion…
