Reading Safari's LastSession.plist

Edward Marczak — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:55:41 -0800

Is it just me, or does everyone see this message when quitting Safari:

"Do you really want to Quit Safari? You have a 400 Windows open that contain a bajillion tabs!"

Yeah, I can keep going down the rabbit-hole of links as good as the next person. But that doesn't mean I don't ever restart my machine (on purpose, or, thanks to unstable code). When Safari gained the ability to "Reopen all Windows from Last Session," I was extremely pleased. Let's face it: Safari can sometimes die unexpectedly.

10.6 iDisk Local Sync Location

I can't seem to find this documented plainly anywhere, so, now it will be: when you set your MobileMe iDisk to sync locally, it now creates a sparsebundle disk image in:

~/Library/FileSync/(FS_identifier)/(MobileMe_username)_iDisk.sparsebundle

You may want this information so you can exclude this path from backups or know how to mount the image manually.
