TICKET ARCHIVE -> What is Prune?

nuubie - Aug 27, 2008 - 2:14 pm

I use an audio player called Play. I'm setting some keyboard shortcuts in its Preferences. I want to use Cmd_P as its a standard shortcut for the Play function and Cmd_. for Stop.
But it tells me this:
The key combination "Command + P" couldn't be used, because it's already used by the menu item "Prune".

What in the world is Prune? OS X Help came up with nothing (of course) and Google didn't cough up anything relevant either. Doing a Google search for
"OS X" "menu item Prune"
had zero results.

Cmd + P is usually also used for the keyboard Print command by most apps

Prune is not something I have heard of, but a Google search brought up this: http://activityworkshop.net/software/prune/index.html

GPS software - does it mean anything to you?
Also, prune could be part of the Apple developer software. Have you installed the developer tools - xcode - from the Tiger or Leopard installer disk? That's the only other mention I could find about prune....

Many player apps use the 'space' bar to control play and pause. Is that possible with 'Play' ?

Since my printer is sliding into a painful and tragic demise, I forgot about the print shortcut. Best to avoid that I guess. Yeah - I'll use the spacebar. That should be fine. And that was the default one on it anyway! I don't use any GPS software. And I haven't installed any of the Xcode stuff that I'm aware of though a quick search using EasyFind (wonderful program - so much better than Spotlight with none of the resource depleting habits of Spotlight to ruin your computer's performance) brought up Xcode in:
user/me/library/Application Support
and in Automator

Another neat thing in EasyFind that I couldn't do it Spotlight is I can delete files without lumbering over to the Finder to do it. Just a fabulous program.
Well that is fixed I guess. Many thanks Dale.
