Re: Re: My Apple Remote no longer works

Ahmed,

it *can* only be a coincidence. There's no code in RB that could do 
anything of that sorts - or any logical relation between the two 
things. It's not even possible without root rights. And then, for 
which purpose should Remote Buddy do that?

Just because two things coincide doesn't mean one causes the other or 
there is any relation between the two.

Nice example in that context:

I've had a lot of mail regarding the tool LSRefresh from my blog. 
Because most people don't understand what it is doing and there is no 
documentation other than the blog entry available for it, they 
attribute all kinds of weird abilities to it. Among it were

a) an inbult online updater (which isn't there) 
b) it starting Safari, downloading, unpacking and starting itself on 
every startup (which it can't do) 
c) taking it as a replacement for OnyX and complaining that it isn't.

Sourcecode for LSRefresh is available. And it's easy to see it just 
opens a file requester and sends the path to LSRegisterURL to update 
the entry in the Launch Services database.

Best regards, 
Felix
