How to: Burn DMG Files on Windows (Vista/7)

, , , ...

Hi there. Recently I had to burn a double layer DVD but my old Macbook isn't capable to do this, so I had to do it on my desktop computer at home. Here I will show you a short summary how to do this.

  • First you have to download this small tool called dmg2img. That will convert your Disk Image (DMG file) to an IMG file, which can be read and burnt directly by Windows 7 for instance.
  • In the next step you locate your directory where you saved dmg2img.exe and you use following command to begin the conversion:

    dmg2img -i <input.dmg> -o <output.img>
  • Finally you can burn the new *.img file with a simple right click in the Windows-Explorer.

Greetings.

It must have been years ago I saw such things last time. wink

Lightweight LaTeX installation for Mac OS X

, , , ...

You probably think the 1.2 GB package of the default MacTeX-Distribution is overkill. In my opinion, that is really a bit of a problem on mobile devices such as Macbooks, especially if you're using several operating systems. I show you a simple and effective way to install a basic MacTeX-Distribution on Mac OS X and how you can organize and add your individual necessary packages you need extra. I'm personally in a way a minimalist and don't use so many packages, maybe you too?

Overview of the software you are using:
  • BasicTeX-2008 (54.1 MB), a minimal MacTeX-Distribution
  • TeX Live Utility (1.4 MB), GUI-Program for managing and updating packages
  • Your favorite text editor, e.g. I prefer Smultron (5.1 MB)

That makes a total download size of, let me guess, unbelievable 60.6 MB! That's even a smaller file size than the popular MiKTeX-Installer from Windows with around 80 MB. If you're looking for an alternative to MiKTeX on OS X, this is the best solution.

Once you have installed the BasicTeX-Distribution you can easily add and update necessary packages with the TeX Live Utility. In fact, all this can be done with a command-line tool (tlmgr), but the TeX Live Utility is much easier if you don't know all the commands and it comes with a nice user-friendly GUI:

«Unlimited Connection Manager» in Mac OSX

, , , ...

Swisscoms Software «Unlimited Connection Manager» (Version 3.1) hat einige unschöne Details in Mac OSX. Einerseits ist, wie für die meisten wohl, ein unnötig langer Schriftzug mit dem Namen der Software in der menu bar von Mac OSX eingetragen. Das stört nicht nur die Übersicht, sondern kann auch weitreichendere Probleme auf niedrigen Desktopauflösungen geben, so dass man die halbe menu bar mit weitaus wichtigeren Elementen nicht mehr einsehen kann. Da diesbezüglich mich jemand fragte, was man dagegen tun kann, habe ich nun eine Lösung parat:



Man kann diesen Schriftzug, «Unlimited Connection Manager», ohne weiteres permanent aus der menu bar von Mac OSX entfernen! Dazu muss man lediglich einen Eintrag in einer plist-Datei ändern, wie man dies ändert, erkäre ich in den folgenden Schritten:
  1. Sicherstellen, dass man eine Software besitzt um plist-Dateien zu editieren, notfalls geht das auch mit einem Text-Editor. Developer-Tools bzw. Xcode von der Mac OSX-CD installieren oder die neuste Version davon bei Apple runterladen (Xcode), darin ist das Programm "Property List Editor.app" enthalten.
  2. Nun öffnet man die Datei "WebToGo.Swisscom.plist" im Ordner ~/Library/Preferences/ mit dem plist-Editor. Es wird eine Reihe an Einstellungsmöglichkeiten gezeigt, hier ist Vorsicht geraten und sollte nichts geändert werden ohne Kenntnisse darüber zu haben. Für das Abschalten des Schriftzuges entfernt man nun das Häckchen bei "Show In Status Bar" und sichert die Datei.
  3. Nun erscheint dieser Eintrag nicht mehr, der Nachteil ist, dass man nicht mehr über das Menu die Kurzeinstellungen, wie etwa verbinden/trennen, vornehmen kann.


Es gibt noch eine zweite Möglichkeit, wenn man diese Schriftzug trotzdem behalten möchte, ihn aber Beispielsweise verkürzen möchte z.B. auf "UCM", dann kann man folgende plist-Änderungen vornehmen:
  1. Ebenfalls wie in der vorhergehenden Anleitung, sollte man einen plist-Editor installiert haben.
  2. Nun öffnet man die Datei "Strings" mit dem plist-Editor im Ordner /Applications/Unlimited Connection Manager.app/Contents/Resources/de.proj - wer hierbei womöglich eine nähere Erläuterung braucht, schreibt ein Kommentar. Jetzt scrollt man zum Key mit dem Wert "87" und ändert den Value von "Unlimited Connection Manager" auf einen beliebigen Namen, wie z.B. "UCM", und speichert anschliessend.
  3. Auch dieser kosmetische Eingriff funktioniert. Wie man sieht wink

Es sei noch gesagt: In OSX kommt man auch ohne jegliche Software von Swisscom aus, dazu schreibe ich ein anderes Mal, denn Mac OSX Leopard bietet die Möglichkeit des Trennens und Verbindens bereits von Haus aus. Was noch viel komforabler ist, wenn man auf einzelne features verzichten kann.
