Alternative Finder "New Folder"

1. If a folder on the desktop is selected, the new folder will be created on the desktop (that is, like in the original behaviour).
2. If a folder not on the desktop is selected, the new folder will be created under that folder and it will become the selected folder.
3. In other case, it will behave like the original action.

1. Execute a snippet of AppleScript to create the folder according to the new behaviour if possible. For any other case the AppleScript could not manage properly (i.e. determining which is the current active and focused window in Finder), tell QuicKeys to jump to step 3 so we can fallback on the original Finder behaviour.
2. Type keystroke to start renaming the newly created folder and stop the flow, we're done.
3. Type keystroke to invoke the Finder original "New folder" action for thoses cases not properly managed in step 1.

SuperDuper and External Hard Drive: Follow Up, I'm Backed Up!!!! Yippeeee :D

 

What in the world is up with the FreeAgent Desk Seagate Drive? It seems that the external HD has some files or software in there that messes things up when wanting to format the drive for Mac OS extended (journaled). Bizzarro. Here's a tiny time line of my day with sprinkles of troubleshooting along the way.

10 am Up, exhausted (I know LATE, but the mighty Hunter decided to nurse basically throughout the night....non stop almost....I know)

10:30-11:30 am Breakfast for Hunter and I. Hunter clean up.

11:30-12:30 Erica, our lovely babysitter came over to watch Hunter while I interviewed Michael Londra. Was able to read comments and tweets regarding my rant yesterday. 

1 pm- 2:30 pm Hunter fell asleep!!!! At this time, I got a chance to email Victor Cajiao and Dave Nanian from SuperDuper. I also got on the phone with a new journalist/documentary producer that I'm going to be working with and had to meet today. Finally was able to get into SuperDuper and begin to see that the trouble was all about the HD. The fabulous Victor called me and he talked me through what needed to be done. Right as I was about to attempt to do what Victor told me to do, Hunter woke up. 

2:30-3:30 pm Had to get Hunter and myself ready to go out in the mid forties windy weather to meet with journalist at the Co-op, and walked to the Co-op.

3:30-5:30 pm Meeting at the Co-op + Lunch

5:30-6:30 pm Was finally able to focus a bit on the formating issue at hand as Hunter's Daddy had gotten her some new Elmo DVD's and I put one on as I dove into disk utility. I found that there were still troubles and decided to call Victor to speak with him. We had a productive conversation solving the problem.

6:30 pm Finally backed up with SuperDuper! 

What was the problem: After partitioning the ext HD, only one partition formatted properly, the other one was unable to be verified or repaired:

Snow Leopard on Dell Mini 9

Here's my Dell Mini 9 running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.1.

I followed the instructions on MyDellMini.com to do the upgrade from Leopard 10.5.7. The internal drive has been upgraded to a RunCore 64GB SSD so the easiest way to upgrade is to remove it, connect it to another Mac via USB, then do all the installations before refitting it in the Mini. Don't forget to DISABLE the Legacy USB support in the BIOS to prevent the computer locking up in sleep mode.
