Summary:


	This tiny app toggles between Finder showing or hiding hidden files.


Instructions:


	1.   Download the "Show or Hide Hidden Files" application


	2.   Launch "Show or Hide Hidden Files.app"


	3.   If prompted, select whether you want to show or hide hidden files.


How it works:


	The app checks your finder plist file for the current state of the parameter "AppleShowAllFiles".   If its true, it set it to false and restarts the Finder, and vice versa if its false.   If parameter doesn't exists, the app asks the user what they want to do and does that.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Clear Dock Data Alias</title><dc:creator>chad@projectappletree.org</dc:creator><category>Image Creation</category><dc:date>2007-09-20T20:00:12-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.ProjectAppletree.com/QuickTools/files/0dddd11308d0a48cbda9747796d2a152-1.html#unique-entry-id-1</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ProjectAppletree.com/QuickTools/files/0dddd11308d0a48cbda9747796d2a152-1.html#unique-entry-id-1</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Clear Dock Data Alias


Summary:


	A bug introduced in 10.4.10 causes lots of question marks in the dock.   This droplet app fixes the dock plist to not have any question marks.   Apply this app to your user template dock plist to fix it in your image, but can be applied to a specific user.


Instructions:


	1.   Download the "Clear Dock Data Alias" application


	2.   Drag and drop any "com.apple.dock.plist" file to the application


How it works:


	Each dock item has "data alias" information that seems to be specific to the hardware of a machine.   So when you create an image, the plist has the wrong data information causing question marks.   This droplet deletes all this information and the next time the dock is relaunched, there shouldn't be any more question marks. 


	Apply the app to your user template dock plist to fix it with all new users.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Reset Parallels Mac Address</title><dc:creator>chad@projectappletree.org</dc:creator><category>Image Creation</category><dc:date>2007-09-20T00:08:59-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.ProjectAppletree.com/QuickTools/files/75182f7d3f7fafc41ade046716b81318-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ProjectAppletree.com/QuickTools/files/75182f7d3f7fafc41ade046716b81318-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Reset Parallels Mac Address


Summary:


	Those of you who deploy parallels as part of your image, may find a problem where every mac has the same mac address.   Ask any network administrator, this is not a good thing.   This quick tool fixes this problem pre image deployment or post.


Instructions:


	1.   Download the "Reset Parallels Mac Address" application


	2.   Drag and drop your parallels pvs file onto "Reset Parallels Mac Address" application


How it works:


	A parallels pvs file contains specific information of virtualized OS such as, amount of memory, hard drive space, network settings, USB information, etc.   The file also contains the mac address.   This droplet simply removes the line that contains the mac address.   You could do the same thing by using Textedit, but I made a quick tool anyway. 


	The next time you run parallels, a new random mac address will be compiled.   Keep this in mind as you are creating your image.   After everything with parallels is done and ready, then run the quick tool.]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
