Rebuild and repackaged my easytag build : alpha3. Now it seems to finally support 10.4 and 10.5 on Intel Macs – I have received very positive feedback.
For the technical interested :
It is some dyld Load command issue, somehow the loader command LC_DYLD_INFO was incorporated in my libwavepack.dylib even though I think I passed the correct compile and linker options via Deployment Target and Min Version to libwavepack … the other libraries work fine with the same options, but perhaps it was only stupid me …
Whatever, for the moment libwavpack has been removed – the rest works now well with 10.4 and 10.5 – I try to figure wavepack out some time.
Go get it
Here it is, and easy to use (inofficial) Easytag build for OSX, this is the most recent version (2.1.6) with the latest patches that is available from the easytag homepage.
For me it works quite well, I tested mp3 tagging, file renaming and cddb lookup and had no issues till now.
But beware this is an alpha build, if you try it out I would be glad to hear any positive or negative issues. Please leave comments or write me an email.

At the moment I am doing some C# programming with VS2008. Since a few days I had the Problem, that whenever I open a Project Visual Studio complains that it can not read or write from the “CurrentSettings.vssettings” file.
As if that wouldn’t be enough VS startet cluttering my project folders and everything with it’s “.vssettings” files because there it was able to write.

If you are developing apps with Xcode that are managed by subversion, it might come handy to get subversion information, like the revision number, into your application. Also other build information can provide useful later, like build date, gcc version and so on. You can e.g show this info in your about dialog, so the and user can inform you what version he is running. And this way your app knows when it was built and what revision it is, so you could probably send this info with bug or crash reports.
To achieve this, you can simply add a costum script to your build phases, which collects this information and writes it in a file. Either a simple text file, or you can choose to put the info in a header file so it’s available as a variable at code compile time.

After installing and testing Window 7 RC thoroughly on my Workstation, I have to say that I quiet like it, not only thats it runs much smoother and faster than vista, has more Functions than XP and seems to be very stable and mature. Really the best part in my opinion is :
The Window Management (Window Manager)
Simply because it now allows much more resize and placement operations with keyboard commands and the Mouse than the Window Managers in the predecessors.

Creating self executing .exe archieves with 7zip is a good and simple thing. Why would you need that ? I have a program consisting of an executable and several ressource files as well as configuration which should be easily editable. In my case it’s a modified version of UltraVNC SC. It shall be packed into a single .exe so the costumer has not to mess with a bunch of files.
