dwhite21787 writesII attach and detach many disk images in a day, and it seems that the available /dev/disk? devices fill up. Is there a way to "flush" these? I have to reboot now to keep working, and that can't be the only way. I'm on a G5 Xserve running 10.4.
The final step in my move from Windows to OS-X is my document management solution. I'm using Paperport on Windows with my Brother MFC-8500 document-fed scanner/printer/fax. Where things are falling flat is in the scanning department. Paperport has an excellent feature that helps import double-sided pages by scanning the front of the document stack, then scanning the back of the document stack and automatically collating the pages together to create a nice PDF. Does anything with this capability exist for Leopard yet? VueScan seemed like it might, but it doesn't work with Brother devices. Scanning in DevonThink is broken under Leopard. Brother's included scanner software is as minimalist as possible.
I need to open 4 text files at once, for a particular task. Right now, I highlight them in Finder and use TextEdit to open them. Then I have to resize the windows and move them so they tile the whole screen. Is there a way to script or tweak TextEdit to open four windows of specific size at determined locations? Or can someone suggest an app that can? Thanks - Doug
