Looking for app to create Desktop groups/fences for OSX

Looking for app to create Desktop groups/fences for OSX..
I do music and like to keep my most important folders on my Desktop since I access them very frequently.. I saw that there's a few options out there like "Desktop Groups Lite" (link below):
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id561422617?mt=12
The only problem is that I'm reading a lot of reviews on it from users who are saying that their files/folders are going completely missing, etc.. And that's a big issue that I'm not ready to deal with, considering the importance of these folders to my work/career..
^This is a picture of what that "Desktop Groups Lite" app looks like.. and is pretty much EXACTLY what I'm looking for.. but I'm a little bit afraid of it "eating" my contents and losing them forever..
Does anybody have any recommendations or feedback for an app that can accomplish something like this?
Thanks!

Install freezes at Looking for OSX....

I'm tying to update a G5 PPC from 10.3.9 to 10.4. I purchased an general update DVD commercially but when I start the installation process the computer stalls out at "looking for OSX on this computer".
Disk utilities etc. check out fine & the computer meets all the requirements for Tiger so far as I can tell.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Thanks Paul, yes that should upgrade from 10.3.x to 10.4.

Looking for OSX (1) or Third Party (2) Solution to tag Audio Files

Hey all,
I'm new here. I've signed up, because I'm looking for a way to Tag Audio Files. I've been doing Audio Diary over the years. Now instead of converting the Audio to Text, I'm looking for a way to identify Audio entries by adding Tags to them. I'm a little reluctant to use third party. you never now how long they survive. and tagging the files will be quite some work.
so my question to you is: 1) Is there a way to tag and locate audio Files using the OS X (primary) or third Party (secondary?)
thx
Jazz
ps: I know you can use the Command-I to add Spotlight Comments, but I've had some Issues that Spotlight sometimes does not locate the Files by the added Comment. further on I read about these problems in several Forums too.

Hey Jazz. you can start by locating the files by doing a Find search - NOT Spotlight - and using the filetype. That will locate all the .mp3 or .ogg or whatever filetype they are and round them up for you.
Once you do that, and you know how to quickly find them all, you can then get a script to batch process those files. You can use the Automator application to do that, so your next best bet would be to start dabbling with it, and see if there's any scripts available. (Im SURE there are.. there has to be..)
I think you'll have success on the OSX Technologies threads.. the Automator and scripting stuff is there.

Newbie: External App to Create Users/Groups

I am new to web based security, so please excuse what is probably a very simple question.
I was reading the security documentation for WLS 8.1 and it seems to me that all users/groups, etc must be administered from within the WLS console. Is it possible to create these entities from an external (i.e. custom built application)?
I have a client for whom I need to build a security solution. I am not sure they would be willing/comfortable administering security from within WLS. They may want their own custom application. Before I discuss this with them I wanted to educate myself as to the available options for doing so.
I'd like to take advantage of all the security providers that WL has, but am wondering if I can "input" the requisite data via a custom built front end.
Cheers,
Aidan

You can use mbeans in your custom application
for example weblogic.management.security.authentication.UserEditorMbean (createUser method)
and so on

Looking for a "desktop search" app

I am using kde, and I am searching for a desktop search app that uses a database and searches within common filetypes. I've tried a couple so far, and haven't found what I'm looking for:
kerry/beagle:WAAAY too much bloat; creates ~2gigs of logs per day, once crashed and started loading my filesystem with useless data.
strigi/clucene: tried it, didn't really work, settings kept on resetting to default.
I am looking for something that doesn't have heavy gnome dependencies.
Any suggestions / what are you using?

Next one...
RECOLL
Depends only on Qt and xapian-core (from community).
All its dependencies are in official repos except for libtextcat and xapian-core (both in community, however).
Src download is 850Kb, and since the package in [community] is outdated, I built one of my own:
Targets: recoll-1.90-1
Total Package Size: 0.9 MB
Total Installed Size: 2.6 MB
Backend:
It also uses the xapian backend.
It can run as a daemon that uses FAM or inotify to provide continuous monitoring/indexing, but the docu says it's probably better to run a cronjob.
While Pinot was using an xml config file, Recoll has a very detailed set of plaintext config files and it can maintain several indexes in parallel (e.g. one with monitoring and one with cronjob indexing).
plaintext, html and email are handled internally, and for other file types you have to resort to external utilities again, of which unrtf is in community, pstotext is only in AUR and I didn't find id3lib/id3info at all.
Again, extension is possible. Here you have several steps which take resources and are slightly more complex to set up than in pinot, but probably allow more fine-grained tweaking: you have a mimeconf configuration where you associate mimetype and filter ('application/pdf = exec rclpdf'), you have an assortment of filters ready in /usr/share/recoll/filters, you have a mimemap config file where you can associate filenames/endings and mimetypes (Unfortunately it uses a different format from e.g. mutt's mime.types, but it also includes special, recoll-only settings - like exclude certain files from indexing or associate files with a certain name with a different mimetype when they're in another direcory)
Search:
Recoll has its own (qt, non-kde) GUI and is only adressable therewith, thus not integrated with any of the other frontends. (Export for pinot, which should be able to access recoll's xapiandb...)
You can use proximity and phonetic search, stem expansion and glob/regex expressions. And you can specify search criteria by metainfo (author, subject, keywords). AFAICT, Recoll does not (yet) understand queries that conform to Xesam specs, neither RDF.
Recoll remembers the last few searches that you performed. You can use a combobox to recall them. However, only the search texts are remembered, not the mode (all/any/file name). (Also documents actually pre-/viewed are remembered.)
Typing Esc Space while entering a word in the simple search entry will open a window with possible completions for the word. The completions are extracted from the database.
Double-clicking on a word in the result list or a preview window will insert it into the simple search entry field.
Search results formatting can be formatted freely with a qt-html expression per default they display several occurancies of the search term along with their respective, (very) limited context. They can be opened either with a mimeview configuration similar to the mimemap file from above or with xdg-open. Or you can view them in an external preview window (which has an incr. search feature). (You have icons for file types but no thumbnails.)
Experiences:
System seemed to me to not be so very sluggish when it did the indexing.
The same directory with ~3100 files, mostly pdf, a few doc and html files, weighing in at 1.5Gb. was indexed in
real 15m13.378s
user 8m47.466s
sys 3m33.439s
and additional stem databases for german and french took another 50 secs.
du -h:
14M ./xapiandb/stem_english
15M ./xapiandb/stem_de
13M ./xapiandb/stem_fr
236M ./xapiandb
246M .
Recoll UI started up quickly and results were returned almost instantaneously. (Not a complicated search expression, tho) I have not yet tested for complicated expressions or a test search for a term that occurs only rarely, so I cannot tell if the small db size has its drawbacks.
So these are still open questions:
[*] monitoring-mode performance impact?
[*] search expression options: RDF ?
[*] search results: how accurately?
[*] attitude towards Xesam and offering services to other frontends?
What I find interesting is its configurability, and the small db size (well, as of now I have only pinot to compare it with, so maybe it's not so extraordinary after all).
(Next will be Tracker...)

Looking for a good group texting app. Any suggestions?

hey,
i'm looking for an app that lets me create a group and then have a group conversation with everyone in that group where we can all see the comments of other people. For example, if i need to talk to the family in a group conversation I want to create a group and call it my "my family" And type in "my family" when I want to do a group message. I need it to work on both iOS and android. I welcome any suggestions. Thank you!

Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats. Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.

Hi Tx Tar Heel,
I've been using Office2HD: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/office2-hd/id364361728?mt=8
Its cheaper than Numbers and it also works for Word and PowerPoint files too. I like the Dropbox integration. I can start on my Office docs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in the office and then edit those files with Office2HD when I'm out of the office. Files saves right back to Dropbox so that when I get back to the office the files are already updated. Not bad for a $7.99 app!
Hope this helps!

Looking for app that will allow me to control my iphone from my desktop

Looking for app that will allow me to control my iphone from my desktop. I would like to be able to send text messages, etc from my computer instead of using my iphone. I don't want to jailbreak my phone. Does anyone know of app like this?
Thank you,
Scott

Windows or Mac? You can at least send iMessages from a Mac with Mountain Lion installed.
There are apps that let you do the reverse (control the computer from the phone). I don't know of any that let you go the other way. It would be kind of cool if we could do this though. But, I suppose it could open up a Pandora's box of security problems for the phone itself. Just imagine somebody hacking into your phone remotely and using it without your permission....

I am looking for an app that will allow me to change the times on my desktop pictures

I am wanting an app that will allow me more choices in changing the "change time" of my desktop pictures. 5 seconds in too fast, one minute longer than i want. I am looking for something that will give me a 10-15 second time.
Any suggestions?

Hi David,
We can integrate Syncfusion with LightSwitch application, if you want to customize column when create a report using syncfusion reportviewer, since I didn't try this third party
extension before, I think you could consider getting help from
syncfusion forum, more syncfusion experts can help you on this issue.
Thanks for your understanding.

Is there a way to create different groups for my contacts using the installed contact app

I am trying to make a group on my contacts. So that it's easier to just make messages to people and not having to make group messages every single time. For example, making a group for a sports team so that I can just message everyone in the group at once.

No not possible but you can create contact groups at www.icloud.com and if you have contact synced thru cloud the groups you make at www.icloud.com will appear on your phone
