I keep getting 'permission denied' errors which turn out to be Windows refusing to change the path or name of a file open in Eagle Mode's PDF server. I have to zoom way out before I can move rename or delete a PDF or its parent directories. Presumably, the same applies to PS. I don't know what other file types may have server processes. I haven't configured Eagle Mode to play a/v files.

By using copy/paste instead -- Eagle Mode's 'copy paths' button is amongst its best features. I don't recall the details after all these years, but I do recall switching from Linux to OS X freed up my brain to work on actual interesting things. Copy/paste did more than you think in OS X, but I ended up with an all-open source front end anyway. The front end was what I was interested in, with Apple's control panel managing the grubby bits with very little fuss. Even writing some (horror of horrors)...

Guessing a bit, I think compilation might be tricky, or it might be fine. RPis seem to make decent graphics terminals, so it should display all right. I'm not sure how the image scaling (and thus speed of zooming) would be affected by the ARM CPU, but if it's integer math I imagine it won't be too bad, modulo the processor speed. It might even turn out to be better overall than some powerful Windows machines due to extreme disk latency issues on the latter.

Oh good grief! Sourceforge holds yet another surprise for me. I'm sorry for the broken formatting and for Sourceforge's denial of editing. (I always feel a certain sense of loathing when finding a project is on SF.) Reproducing the broken text: Reasons I don't want a desktop icon When installing for all users, making a desktop icon is a nuisance because all users then need to provide admin permission if they want to simply move it into a folder. (This is true in Win7. It may be fixed in Win10 but,...

Windows installer: Start and desktop icons bundled together

The VNC server in the above screenshot is vncs in Plan 9 (9front). The problem also occurs with x11vnc 0.9.13 on FreeBSD 11. For me, it's much worse as the server's screen is the same size in pixels as the client's. Attempting to work around the issue with 80% scaling is similarly awful, with blue ripples around some of my terminals' yellow text. When the server is my ancient iBook running OS X 10.4 and OSXvnc 1.5 the scaling problem is rather less unwelcome, but the display is distorted even at...
