World's Largest iTunes Library? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Apr 21st 2007 3:34PM All this should bring an important point. Apple needs to switch the library to SQLite. XML was fine back when the 5Gb iPod was *huge*. But now a days more and more people have hundreds of gigabits worth of music. SQLite would be _much_ faster. It's not for nothing they use it for Mail's index.
Please, please, Apple if you read this make iTunes' library use SQLite or something similar!
Terminal Tip: Output man pages as plain text with col {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Apr 19th 2007 8:48PM A much nicer solution is
man -t man | open -f -a /Applications/Preview.app
which will render the man page as a nicely formatted pdf and open it in Preview. I have it as a function in my .bash_profile:
pman() {
/usr/bin/man -t ${1} | /usr/bin/open -f -a /Applications/Preview.app
}
