Work with updates?
Authored by: Eyedea on Dec 02, '02 11:22:08AM

Would I have to do this for each new build of Chimera?

Work with updates?

Unfortunately, yes. What I usually do is once I've made the changes to the two preference files (MVPreferencePaneDefaults.plist and MVPreferencePaneGroups.plist), I keep copies of these and the image.prefpane aside and just copy them into the new Chimera package after downloading the latest nightly.

K, thanks.

I'll pass on this one (I'm just too lazy) but hopefully it will be implemented in Chimera soon.

Work with updates? Maybe..

why not just make a diff patch so you can apply the diff without worrying about eradicating any new changes when you overwrite newer files with the older modified files?

Work with updates? Solution
Authored by: cynikal on Dec 02, '02 03:28:51PM
I've written a quick and dirty shell script that when ran, will automatically download the prefpane and patch the required files. it needs to have your chimera running when you first run it (so it can determine where your navigator is installed/running from), if there's a better way to do this, let me know. it will prompt you when it's about to close it so that you have a chance to save your urls and such.. you can download it here here feedback welcome. be gentle though, i rushed and wrote it quickly and couldn't test it that much. works for me though, downloading the latest nightly build.
