How to Export or Save Coda Sites

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Where is Coda Site Information Stored?

Coda currently does not have a way to export or save sites like you can using Transmit. But there is a way to save your coda site settings if you need to migrate your site data from one computer to another. You  will need to save a file from your preferences folder.

Save the Coda.plist file:

~/Library/Preferences/com.panic.Coda.plist
~/ = Your Mac UserName

Apple Exposé for Windows PC

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

As a mac user, I still need to use a PC sometimes. One of the features people tend to awe over is expose for the mac. Apple Expose allows you to switch from different windows very fast and easy. Sure, I could use alt-tab, but after using mac’s expose, I longed for its cool abilities. So I did a search on the web for ‘Expose for Windows’. Turns out there are a number of PC exposé applications out there. But alas, I found the best one.

You should use Reflex Vision- http://www.reflexvision.net/. It is only $9.99. Well worth it if you want to set up a Exposé mimic on a PC.

Mac Expose for Windows PC

How it works:

Reflex Vision uses F9 , F10, and F11 for the functions of Exposé. I used my logitech mouse software to assign these to a keystroke so I can use the mouse.

The Trial version of Reflex Vision Exposé for Windows:

The Trial version gives you 100 uses. That’s enough to test it out. theres a myriad of features. Check them out here- http://www.reflexvision.net/ .
