![]() ![]() It didn’t take me long to realize that even with JUnit in front of me, I wouldn’t be able to follow along with the book. I spent some time getting JUnit set up on my own – Java CLASSPATHs are evil evil evil – and got back to the book a couple of days ago. 5, after presenting me with the first code of the book, he writes, “I’ll explain where and how we type it in later, when we talk more about the testing framework, JUnit.” He then proceeds to go on for pages, describing more and more code changes and additions, without ever coming back to JUnit.

On the other hand, why do I need to go through an import? Why doesn’t just copying the files work, like it used to work for almost every application?ĭoes it work anymore for any application? Stay tuned. On the one hand, the UI is clear and intuitive. How did I know to do this? Because DragThing’s import window specifically says, “Select a folder, XML dock file, or “DragThing Preferences” file to import.” Instead, in order to make the preferences file work in the second DragThing, I had to explicitly import the preferences file. This failed for DragThing as well, but not because there were missing Application Support files. I’d rather not have to look in two places for files with user configuration info, but the guidelines don’t seem to provide crystal-clear guidance on the issue.įor DragThing, as for MarsEdit, the first thing I tried was just copying over the preferences file. Firefox seems to put your entire profile there, for instance. However, other applications also dump files with user info in the Application Support directory. I don’t think that means things the user can configure, which I think should go under Preferences. Microsoft Word’s various letter document templates. Now, Apple’s guidelines say that the Application Support directory is for files like “document templates and sample files.” I am interpreting that to mean unchanging template files that ship with the software, such as e.g. I had to also copy over everything from my user-level Library/Application Support directory in order to get those settings. MarsEdit can do this.īut after I copied the preferences file ( ) from my user-level Library/Preferences directory on old machine to my new machine, MarsEdit still used its default preview template. I could use my weblogging software’s posting mechanism instead of MarsEdit, but that software’s preview doesn’t actually make the previewed post look like it will look in my weblog. ![]() I love MarsEdit primarily for its preview template. Replicating the settings for those applications is more application-specific than I was expecting. I’m copying a bunch of applications over to a new machine. ![]()
