View source for Mac OS X Leopard Tips and Tricks

== Jack Audio ==
The easiest is to install the precompiled binaries.

=== Jack Audio Connection Kit ===
The Jack audio connection kit can be found at http://jackosx.com/

=== QJackCtl ===
[http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/ QJackCtl] is highly recommended instead of jackpilot. It is kind of harder to find online as binary version.
Is can be found in this strange place http://ardour.org/osx_system_requirements

Note: The program starts, but cannot start jackd. I am in the meantime using jackpilot to start it and then QJackCtl to make connections. I tried to compile the source but it doesn't find qt frameworks...
The bug seems to be that QJackCtl is using the option -n instead of -d for the device in coreaudio.

== Finder ==

=== Sort Folders Before Files ===
This only works when you sort by kind...
Just edit with emacs or any other text editor (as root) the file:
 System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings

and change the line:
 /* General kind strings */
 "Folder" = "Folder";
to:
 "Folder" = "~Folder";

Restart OS X.
