Re: Very strange Console messages apparently related to Quartz

<r>Allow me to briefly state that I moved to Mac computers about 1996 after hanging on to Amiga since 198-something and starting with a Timex-Sinclair/1000 in 1980, with C-64 and C-128 in between. Just this morning I was looking at updates for the Amiga that allow me to use contemporary monitors and...

Re: Two problems: both annoying, neither critical

<r>I've long used System Suite - Fix It Utilities to tune up Windows including regularly repairing  the Registry and sitting through defraging the hard drives.I could challenge the idea of Windows being more straight-forward .8^)By comparison to Windows, I don't mind that fixing permissions finds fe...

Re: Waiting......

<r>You have me thinking about speeding up a 2012 and a 2010-2011 MacMin I have by putting a new SSD in them. I understand the boot of all programs really fly with a SSD. I regret not waiting to order my new iMac-27 with a Fusion Drive. I year or two from now I'll correct that with the latest refresh...

Re: Waiting......

<r>I'm missing some of the previous post until I read my email on my computer I gather at this point that Gnarlie is testing various programs on a 2009 Mac.I fail to understand why anyone would get into a routine of testing programs on a five year old computer and be upset over the results.I suspect...

Re: Waiting......

<r>I see something like this.GC-9 opens the program in a couple of seconds. I have it open on the options window and by clicking on 'open a browser' it then takes a slow count of 8-9 seconds to open the folder.Note the program opens in 1-2 seconds  and a folder opens in a slow count of 8-9 (perhaps ...

Re: Upgrade policy?

<r>I believe it's 'updates' that are free, and not 'upgrades'. ie : v6.4 to v6.5 and not v6.4 to v7.2 or v8.2 I must have bought GC licenses five or more times over the years. I remind myself that I may have first bought a GC license for the MacPro I bought in 1999, am still using with a certain pri...

Re: Best Way to Reduce File Size?

<r>I hope I'm using the best way........ In most cases I leave the size of the image as it is, and reduce the jpg quality setting to 70-80 percent. You'll see a noticeable quality drop if you go below 60-percent. The file size will shrink a lot at 70-80 percent and usually look just fine. I suppose ...
