• Blink Cocoa For Mac Os X 4th Edition

Luckily, you don't have to be a Cocoa programmer to make the changes. All you need to do is edit the program's property list file.

The link above is specific to Cocoa apps- I did a bit of Googling and it appears that Finale counts. The worst thing that can happen is that it changes nothing, and we look for another solution. I'm not sure what the end result you're looking for is; whether you want the cursor to blink quickly, not at all or disappear altogether, but I can give you a basis to start from. First things first- locate and save the current plist, incase things go bad: use Spotlight to search for com.makemusic.Finale.plist, and Command-click it once located. That'll take you to the file directly. (If Spotlight doesn't locate it, navigate to user/Library/Preferences. You might have to sort them by name to aid in locating the file.) Click on the file, and hold down the option key while dragging it to a safe location.

That'll copy the file leaving you with a backup in case of an emergency while leaving your current preferences intact. Once the file is copied to a nice safe location (like the Desktop), go ahead and open up Terminal. If you've never used it before, you can find it easily by activating Finder, choosing the Go menu and selecting Utilities. In the Terminal window that opens, type or paste defaults write com.apple.textedit NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriod -int 1000000 and press enter. You won't see anything else come up on the screen, but go ahead and relaunch Finale and take a look. I'm not sure what the increment is measured in, but the more zeros you enter the less the cursor will blink.

500 seems to be about average, matching what most programs default to. 1 or 0 will cause the cursor to blink so quickly it appears as a flicker on the screen- probably not what you're going for. You can adjust the string to your tastes, however. If you decide you don't want to keep the changes, just head back to the Terminal app and enter defaults write com.apple.textedit NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriod -int 500 to return to a normal blink rate. Don't feel nervous about playing around a bit with the rate- you've already backed up your plist, so if all else fails you can copy that back, overwriting the one we just played with. It's a lot of steps to go through, but it will achieve the desired result and you'll only have to do it once.

Couple of things: I believe that you must edit 'com.Finale 2008 Preferences' (yes in quotes) and not the com.makemusic.Finale.plist file. I can't say it for sure, maybe there was some delay or something after i edited the file before it took effect. That seems unlikely to me, but i had to try a few things.

Also in your instructions you wrote to edit the file com.apple.textedit, which of course is textedit not finale. I caught it in time i think, have to try textedit to see how it's working. П˜‰ Yes, the lower the number, the faster the blinking. I have it set to 10 now, and it still noticeably blinks. But this was what i was looking for. Thanks again! Apple Footer.

Server Compatibility Presence is a complex issue and the mechanisms used internally by Blink may not necessarily work under any SIP server environment. This document was written to provide a better understanding of these mechanisms. Presence require proper infrastructure that many SIP service providers simply lack today, so do not complain to us when Presence does not work with your SIP service provider. OpenSIPS 1.9.0 and OpenXCAP 2.1.0 server software has been tested and is 100% compatible with Blink. Design Principles Blink should work with any SIP and XCAP servers that supports all related SIP SIMPLE standards, but only a subset of them are being used. Blink contact management has been completely refactored starting with Blink Pro 1.9.0 and Blink Lite 1.7.0.
