Random Musings About Software

If you're tired of seeing __MyCompanyName__ automatically in all copyright notices of all your XCode source files then here's a quick and easy fix. You can set the XCode default company name for copyright notice as follows:

Go to /Applications/Utilities and open Terminal.app and enter the following code:

defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions '{"ORGANIZATIONNAME"="SomeOther Co.";}'

Make sure you replace SomeOtherCo. with whatever name you want. I used:

defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions '{"ORGANIZATIONNAME"="damagestudios.net";}'

The 10.5.2 version of OS X has a new preferences command for Spaces although tt's hidden and not available through the System Preferences.

What it does is allow one to Command-Tab to the app you want and create a new window in the current space. No more switching to the space that the app was originally launched in.

Here's the terminal command:

defaults write com.apple.Dock workspaces-auto-swoosh -bool NO

Then just restart the dock using:

killall Dock

If you need to back out your changes just change the first command from NO to a YES then restart the Dock once more.
