Use DockBrowser to bypass the 'Connect to Server' dialog
Authored by: msk on Jul 22, '03 10:11:30AM

Odds are that machines that this program compiles on have the current (Dec 2002) version of the developer tools--I have them and this program compiles fine.

A lot of of stuff does not compile on machines with the July 2002 developer tools, for example a lot of the opensource software distributed by "fink" and I bet this program. Also, the July 2002 set has a nasty bug in the plist editor, it corrupts all real number entries.

Getting the Dec 2002 Developer Tools is tricky, rather big to download if you have 56K dialup and the only alternative is to belong to the developer program (something like $200 per year to get monthly mailing of the CD's & DVD's containing Developer Tools, SDK's, OS releases). The Dec 2002 Developer Tools came with the OS X 10.2.3 CD set.

Use DockBrowser to bypass the 'Connect to Server' dialog
Authored by: sky131 on Aug 04, '03 01:50:03AM

Is there a way to use this to recognize and connect to SMB shares? I have a Windows XP box that stores many of my files and hate having to always 'connect to server' to mount these drives.

Is there already a program that you can have an icon in the dock which you can right click and have aliases to chose from? I could then have each shared folder as an alias which can be mounted via this alias?

If there is no such program how would you recommend I go about making such a piece of software? I am new to Macs, sorry if what I am asking is dumb or has been done.
