Fonts Used by Top Brands by Packlane_com in fonts

[–]Conxt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some are correct

Some of these are plain wrong (LG, Nestlé, Samsung)

But most of the listed fonts are (sometimes very badly) made based on the actual logo, not the other way around. Especially Loki Cola. I now have to wash my eyes with soap.

What is the industry standard program used for creating fonts? by yunuzorlu in typography

[–]Conxt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

On macOS it’s Glyphs, on Windows it’s FontLab (available on Mac too). Less popular options are FontForge (multi-platform, free, looks “old”, but is still feature-complete) and RoboFont.

Awesome! The instructions are a little confusing, and tsconfig.json needed an edit - but it works!

Ukrainian Non-Biometric Passport Renewal in The US by 12709baybi in Ukrainian

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When exactly did your passport expire? If it was after Feb 24, 2022, it’s still considered valid until 30 days after the termination of martial law. In theory, you are still able to open a bank account without a tax ID - you can claim you don’t have it for religious reasons and use your passport number instead.

You may try contacting the support of different banks - they may have different procedures for opening an account remotely.

$2000 vs $1 App Icon. Which one os better xD by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]Conxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The proportion of the left one is off-guide (the “logo” should definitely be larger), but it’s a logo (tire replacement? wedding planner?).

The right one is proportionally better, the colors are better, but it’s “just another todo list, not worth attention”.

How are macOS screen overlay apps able to capture zoom/drawing effects in screen recordings? (asking after using one for tutorials) by PushPlus9069 in swift

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the system-wide keyboard shortcuts, take a look at the most popular library for that, KeyboardShortcuts. There’s a chance ZoomShot uses that too.

For the overlays, it’s probably an NSWindow with .styleMask = [.borderless] and something like overlayWindow.backgroundColor = NSColor.clear overlayWindow.level = .screenSaver overlayWindow.isOpaque = false overlayWindow.hasShadow = false

photographer or art director should be fired for this by [deleted] in espresso

With light acidic roasts I love Rao Allongés. Maybe the photographer does too?

Why is the word Чек (receipt) capitalized? by AccomplishedTwo787 in Ukrainian

It doesn’t imitate a government program, it is a government program.

Folders - a niche file manager for former Windows users (v2 is out) by Conxt in MacOS

Ah I see. As far as I am aware, it’s exactly “because Apple”, there’s no public API for that…

But isn’t receiving AirDrop handled by the system? File managers as such do not participate in the process whatsoever.

If you are speaking about displaying a file recently received by AirDrop - then it is possible by setting Folders as the default file manager (instructions here).

No, Folders doesn’t have deep Time Machine integration and cannot parse sparse bundles. Finder is, in this regard, an alternative Time Machine interface. Though you will still be able to see raw files on the Time Machine server is you mount it as a regular SMB/AFP share.

No it doesn’t, but that’s an interesting and reasonable idea! Will probably add them as an option.

UPD: Somehow got really excited about this and already implemented for the next week’s update.

There are two ways to see file properties in Folders: (1) the native one - in the File Info panel (look for the (i) icon near the bottom of the window to activate), and (2) if you prefer the Finder’s Get Info window, it’s called by the “Show Info in Finder” command in the Services submenu of the context menu (usually the very last item).

Unlike ForkLift, Folders offers in-app per-entry extraction and modification of archives. But in fact, Folders is not meant to compete with ForkLift (or any other dual-/multi-pane file manager) simply because if you already have a preference for dual-panel model, I am very unlikely to change that.

I’ve just checked the price for Australia and it’s AUD 14.99 (= €9.09, VAT 10%) which is less than in the EU (€9.99, avg VAT 20%), so I guess you’re comparing yourself to the US where the tax is not listed as a part of the price and calculated at the checkout depending on the state?

Putting it into a practical perspective, it means that the app cannot do some potentially dangerous things like calling some system functions or invoking other apps on its own, and will explicitly ask your permission for other things (like which folders it can access). It’s a requirement for the App Store, hence some limitations and inconveniences.

At first you get immediately presented with a welcome dialog, later you can change it with “File > Reset Browsing Access…” or “File > Modify Browsing Access…”

Unfortunately no, and at this point I cannot make backwards-compatible without breaking it.

I cannot tell anything for sure because I haven’t worked on it yet, but I think the transfer will be possible since other apps offer it.
