This would not change until the late nineties, with a new album with original material every 1–2 years only, but accompanied by re-releases of early, hard-to-find material, and live albums. After a few more cassette-only releases, Brighter Now saw the light of day in the following year, as their first 'proper' album.įrom the start, their output has been quite prolific, with no less than four tapes released in the first year of their existence alone. Their first release was the cassette Only Dreaming in 1981, initially limited to 10 copies only, each with their own, handmade cover. As of 2012, they have released 32 studio albums, 52 live albums and compilations, and 14 singles. This is a detailed list of releases by the European band The Legendary Pink Dots.

In the dock, ctrl-click Finder, select Options > Assign to: All Desktops. Open Finder and move it to the bottom of the screen. Simply add a hotkey for the Finder application and in the Apptivate’s prefereces tick the “Hide application if it is active” setting. The visor was extremely useful, but was always a little laggy. Apptivate allows me to create a show/hide hotkey for Finder.

Since then Finder gained pretty good tab support. Ok, so Apptivate isn’t exactly a replacement for TotalFinder, but I’ve originally started using TotalFinder to gain access to features like tabs and the visor. If you’re willing to live with the risk, you can disable System Integrity Protection as the author of TotalFinder explains here, however he does not recommend it. One big step for security, but an unfortunate breaking change for plug-ins and apps that rely on these kind of hacks for non-malicious things. In OS X El Capitan, Apple has introduced SIP – “System Integrity Protection”, which protects your system from being tampered by malicious software like malware. It’s particularly useful when using a single display.

This way, you can easily drag and drop files from Finder to other apps like Xcode or even your active Terminal session without switching desktops. Finder would appear at the bottom of the screen, Terminal at the top. The idea is to simplify access to Finder’s folder view and any active Terminal session, by using a global hot key (like ctrl+` for Terminal and alt+` for Finder). In my opinion, both apps were essential for developers working on their MacBooks in the field, but could also prove useful for any OS X users. While I’m really enjoying OS X El Capitan (everything runs smoother and my MacBook is much colder) it has put a large nail into the coffin of my two favourite OS X apps: TotalTerminal and TotalFinder.
