I'm working with localSharedObjects and want to inspect the files that are created on the user's machine. According the the documentation, localSharedObject files are stored on a Mac in the following location: /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/web_domain/path_to_application/application_name/object_name.sol
When I try to find the file, I cannot even get to: /Users/username/Library
as the Library file does not exist in that location. Also, I've been searching for files with a .sol extension, but without success.
My question: Where can I find loaclSharedObject files on a Mac running 10.7.5?
There is a Library folder that Mac OS X 10.7 hides. Go to Finder, hold down the Option key and select the Go menu. The Library folder will then appear and you can select it. If you wish to have permanent access to it, you can drag it into the Finder sidebar, or there's a Terminal command to get it to show permanently:
chflags nohidden ~/Library

Yesterday I went to download MySQL, and I managed to install it, when the download finished, I double-clicked and the program opened normally. I created an account just for testing, so I didn't save the password, so I deleted MySQL to create another account... However when I go to download, now only the option to download in Compressed (zipped) Folder format appears, and I have no idea how to open any type of download in that format, I've tried following the steps taught in the videos and I couldn't either.
Is there a way to fix this? Because yesterday MySQL was downloading normally (as in the image below) and I had no difficulty opening it.
But now the download is just like this (as in the image), and I can no longer open the program.
Note: I use the 64 bit version of Windows 10.
I assume you're downloading MySQL community server from it's official page here: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
If you are, then you can see in the page there are 3 blue buttons
I assume that you are downloading from the "Other Downloads" section (no.2 in image).
could you share the link to the source where you downloaded MySQL?
Usually you should be able to unzip the contents of any .zip file by right clicking the archive in a explorer and choosing extract (not sure what the exact buttons in Windows are called since I don't use it).
Maybe your file got corrupted while you downloaded it (connection issues), have you tried re-downloading it?
I've just searched for the download and started it from the official website
(https://cdn.mysql.com//Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-installer-community-8.0.32.0.msi). This starts the download of an .msi file in my case. Can you confirm that this still starts the download of a .zip file?
Where is chrome.storage.local stored for Chrome Apps in OSX yosemite?
I finally found it: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local App Settings/{{chrome-app-id}}. The whole {{chrome-app-id}} folder is a leveldb database. I was able to open it and inspect the contents of the stored file using the leveldb-ruby gem. Just do the following
require 'leveldb'
db = LevelDB:DB.new '~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local App Settings/{{chrome-app-id}}'
You can now query the database using the db object. By the way if you get a weird error saying that the db is being used by someone else make sure you kill chrome and erase the LOCK file.
localStorage is located in ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local Storage. You'll need the ID to find the correct files but they'll be prefixed with chrome- and have a file extension of .localstorage.
Based on some picking through the POSTMan App, it looks like it makes a call to chrome.storage.local and the data on my Mac is located here: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local App Settings/<ID>/000003.log.
I have one in house Perl web application (Windows OS), and I need to find the best way to open shared folder from my application with user default file explorer. I prefer some Perl module or some cross browser method (I don't know what browser would be used by user).
I tried with file:/// but I am searching for something better.
If what you are trying to achieve is something like accessing a file on a samba share, I would suggest simply using UNC paths (\yourserver\shared_folder\filename). If you point to an actual file it will be opened by the default program associated with that extension in Windows. If you point to a folder, the windows explorer would open up in that folder, as if you typed the UNC path in a start -> run dialog box.
So in perl this would be like below, if your shared folder is on server named "phobos" with a share "movies".
system('\\phobos\movies'); # mind the quoting!!
If you were trying to open up a file in the default program in windows you would use something like:
system('\\phobos\movies\my_cool_movie.avi'); # mind the quoting!!
Is that what you mean with your question?
I have created an installer for my application bundle(.app) and the installer successfully installed the application in Applications folder but it is not setting the icon which i set previously before installation to the bundle. In Applications my application is seen with default .app icon. I tried to set the Icon file in plist file of the bundle, but no result. Anybody who tried this successfully please help.
Thank you
Thanks for all those looked into my question. After some tiring research, I found the solution. I am not sure whether it has any problem with other version of OS X. I am using Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion. Here is the solutions worked for me.
Create an .icns icon. Apple bundle uses icns file as Icon file. You can easily create one using an icon converter. I used an app from http://www.img2icnsapp.com/
Right click the bundle and browse the folder of the .app and copy the .icns file to the Resources folder.
ie. Contents>>Resources
Edit Info.plist file and add a key for Icon File, if there is no Icon File key. Set the value to your icns file name. (eg:- test.icns)
Now create the package from PackageMaker and install the package, you can see your application installed with custom icon in /Applications
:)
I just lost all my changes to my google chrome plugin. However, the plugin is still running within the browser.
Where does Google Chrome store its cached copy of unpacked extensions?
I was able to find luck in:
Non-windows 7:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile>\Extensions
-or-
Windows 7:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile>\Extensions
EDIT: You can go to "chrome://version/" (like a url) and it shows your "Profile Path". There you can find an "Extensions" folder which is the one you're looking for.
Turns out that unpacked extensions are left in their original locations. Only packed extension get extracted to the places Alex.Piechowski mentioned.
On Linux (OpenSuse 12.3), I managed to find all my installed extensions here:
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/
It's important to first take note of the extension ID in case u wish to just copy a particular extension. For this, open chrome://extensions/ in your browser, copy the id of the extension of interest, and find it's directory under the extensions directory given above.
Being able to locally save copies of extensions like this has helped me to continue using (and even modifying / hacking) on extension that were eventually removed from the Chrome Store by either their owners or Google.
So I was debugging an extension I am building on Mac OS X and couldn't find the SQLite database in any of the standard locations. It doesn't store the DB in the path where the extension files live.
Here's where I found my database when running an unpacked extension:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/databases/http_foobar.com_0/XX
-Eric
User profiles are stored in User Data Directory and it vary depending on the operating system.
The easiest way is to navigate to chrome://version and look for the Profile Path field.
Example (Windows):
[Profile Path] C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
[User Data Dir] C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
Then Extensions are located under Extensions/ folder.
In windows:
Path: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1\Extensions
(Here, you will not able to see extensions by name but it will be by extensions by Id. Extension Id you can get it from chrome→extension→Developer modes)
Or
Path: C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
Or
Download Extension Source Locator. Give your username. It will list out all the extension with path details.
