HiddenSettingsPref http://hasseg.org/hiddenSettingsPref/ Most recent changes with links to updates. en Version 0.8.5 October 02, 2009
  • Re-enabled the "open targeted links to tabs" Safari preference on Snow Leopard (it still works, contrary to my previous beliefs.)
    • ]]>         Version 0.8.4 October 02, 2009
  • Fixed a bug where the current values for some preferences were not read correctly.
    • ]]>         Version 0.8.3 October 02, 2009
  • Re-enabled the "highlight item under mouse in grid stacks" preference on Snow Leopard (a typo was fixed in the preference key name on Snow Leopard, but the feature is still there).
  • Added Finder preference for displaying animated folder contents in Quick Look previews.
  • Added Dock preference for making "list" stacks look and behave kind of like "grid" stacks.
    • ]]>         Version 0.8.1 September 06, 2009
  • Hide the "works only in Leopard" info labels in the UI if running on Leopard.
    • ]]>         Version 0.8 September 06, 2009
  • Rebuilt the preference pane as a 32/64-bit Universal Binary with Garbage Collection support so that System Preferences on Snow Leopard wouldn't have to restart in order to load it.
  • Disabled some preferences on Snow Leopard -- ones that won't work there, that is.
  • Removed the option for automatically restarting Safari after applying changes. (This is so that we wouldn't have to "force quit" safari and then start it again -- asking Safari to quit via AppleScript would make it possible that the user cancels the quitting process and we would end up waiting forever for Safari to quit. It's better to just ask the user to restart Safari manually.)
    • ]]>         Version 0.7.10 January 10, 2009
  • If "restart Safari" is selected when applying the Safari-related changes, use AppleScript to tell Safari to quit instead of just killing the process.
    • ]]>         Version 0.7.9 June 06, 2008
  • Minor UI copy change (a reference to the "system" settings changed to "misc." settings)
  • Some minor cleanup of useless log output
    • ]]>         Version 0.7.8 June 06, 2008
  • Added a "Keep Help Viewer windows always in front" setting into the "miscellaneous" section (find more from macosxhints.)
    • ]]>         Version 0.7.7 June 05, 2008
  • Removed the "Switch spaces automatically when an application in another space gains focus" option since it was added into the built-in Spaces settings in the 10.5.3 update and with this change, renamed the "Dock & Spaces" section to simply "Dock".
  • Moved the "Create .DS_Store files also on remote volumes" setting into the "Finder" section
  • Renamed the "System" section/tab to "Miscellaneous"
  • A Quick, minor UI bugfix related to information popups popping up at the wrong time
    • ]]>         Version 0.7.6 March 24, 2008
  • Added preference for enabling high definition trailers in Front Row's "Theatrical Trailers" menu
    • ]]>         Version 0.7.5 March 23, 2008 Accommodating to changes introduced in the recent Safari 3.1 update:
    • Removed the "Enable debug menu" preference (this is now exposed to users in Safari's built-in preferences window)
    • Removed the "Progress indicator style" preference (this doesn't work anymore :( )
    • Added a new Safari preference: "Open all targeted links in tabs instead of windows". Find more info on what this does at TUAW.
    ]]>         Version 0.7.2 March 18, 2008
  • Fixed a bug where the preference pane didn't properly recognize changes in the "System" section as being applied when just the "safe sleep" setting was changed and applied.
  • Whenever the "safe sleep" feature is turned off with this preference pane, the sleepimage file (located in /var/vm/sleepimage) will be removed to conserve disk space (this can be considered one of the advantages in disabling the feature in the first place.)
    • ]]>         Version 0.7.1 March 17, 2008
  • Added some notifications about restarting the computer or the System Preferences application when some settings that require restarts have been applied.
    • ]]>         Version 0.7 March 13, 2008
  • Added options for installing three "hidden" Preference Panes (Archives, Disk Images, and Processor, the last one of which is only available if you have Developer Tools installed)
    • ]]>         Version 0.6.2 March 13, 2008
  • Fixed the default value of the Finder preference "display alternating row colors in list view" to on instead of off.
    • ]]>         Version 0.6.1 March 11, 2008
  • Enabled the "enable safe sleep" setting only for Intel laptops, as I don't have a PowerPC mac laptop available for testing
    • ]]>         Version 0.6 March 10, 2008
  • Initial release.
