Sherlock 3

The fact that the sherlock location seems to be hard-coded into desktop.app does strike me as a bit of a bug... but then again, I think that the same problem appears in OS 9. I looked through all the plist files, but none contain a path to sherlock, so I can't help there. I do want to note that alias behavior is pretty much identical to before -- you can move the original...

Trying to organize my OSX HD the other day, I moved some folders around trying to put all my OSX downloads into some sort of order. I moved All the Apple apps into a folder and now 'Command-F' in the Finder gives me a"can't find Sherlock' message. I know that the Unix file system is different and that aliases wont work if the original is moved, but is there a Prefs files...

I haven't got my OS X box in front of me, so I can't tell you where it is exactly, but there's pretty decent HTML documentation included with Apache--tells you where to put all of these things. You should be able to find it by poking around in the Apache folders (or try Sherlock).

my Desktop.app folder... seems to be missing... this is the path i used to change Finder icns, now i can't find it, neither can Sherlock. any clues would be appreciated.

Here are my thoughts on finding that file: It may be that the blue color drawn during startup is hard-coded into some startup process. (My guess is by the Window Manager process itself, though it might also be from loginwindow.app). But hopefully Apple has provided for startup screens and has not hard-coded a single color. That would be too bad. If such a file exists,...

One of the prime things of the Mac OS is Sherlock..want to find somethin on your drive, or on the web.. Sherlock will take care of it! And fast too! ...

i have 512MB RAM and app launching is still too slow for me; of course for something like Sherlock, anything other than 'instantly' is too slow :)

I also think that Sherlock looks terrible and it is so annoying to have to be always dragging those panes around that I would avoid using it anyway. ...

install I would go through and trim down the Mac OS 9 folder on the OS X partition, but the whole directory seems to be invisible or inaccessible or something. Sherlock sees it, but I can't open any of the files, and if I open any folder the contents are blank... ...

I'm accessing the computer from home so I can't run Sherlock to find it. ...
