A couple of Jaguar questions... !

[toast]

1) It seems that Chimera 0.5 has a little problem of display with Jaguar: as I am typing this line, it's frequently disappearing/reappearing, well, in brief, it's displaying badly (see the snapshot). Is it a common phenomenon ? Has anyone seen this too ?

2) Is there a way to hide the ugly toolbar in the new TextEdit ? It's useless, I'd like to get rid of it.

3) How can I get my screenshots (when I hit Command-Shift-3 or Command-Shift-4) to be saved in, say, JPEG ? PDF is nice, but it's not a fine Web image format.

4) TinkerTool does not work any more ! Is there a new version ? Any other cool "extension" like TinkerTool you could recommend me ?

There I am, a newbie to Jaguar… quite cool

1) I don't use chimera, sorry.

2) Open textedit preferences and uncheck "show ruler" in editing window. Close the document and open new one.

3) Use Grab in Application/Utilities folder.

4) I don't use TinkerTool, sorry.

1) I use IE and there's the same problem sometimes. I have to resize the window to view all the content.

1) I've noticed this in Chimera as well.

2) I agree that it's ugly, but the ruler's very useful for setting tab stops. You can set left-, right-, centre-, or decimal- aligned tab stops. You can also quickly change the text's justification
If you want to quickly show or hide it, press Command-R or choose Format -> Text -> Show Ruler.

3) You could change it in 10.1 (the default was TIFF), but due to changes in way screenshots are implemented, this isn't possible. In Jaguar, Core Graphics is used to take screen shots. CG (at the moment) only handles PDF files.

4) Download the new version at http://www.bresink.de/osx/TinkerTool2.html

1) Chimera problem: okay, nothing to do.

2) TextEdit ruler: The ruler is useful, yep, but when I need special formatting I run into AppleWorks. I liked the simplicity of TextEdit. I like to have simple RTF/TEXT files to import into Quark. Thanx a lot for the shortcut !

3) PDF screenshots: I'll have to use Grab or to propose PDF images... bad bad bad

4) TinkerTool: I've installed v2.31, but still, may functions (Terminal transparency, for instance), are missing. I wrote to bresinx to ask for info. The most interestong feature was screenshot format, so if it's gone…

A last question:

5) Is Silk still useful in Jaguar ?

4) Terminal transparency is not there anymore ...simple...cause it is inside the rpeferences of the terminal itself. )) new feature of X.2 Jaguar

5) Don`t think so
