Today's "what were you thinking, A le?" is brought to you by the .Mac System Preference pane, iSyncand that %26quot ync Services wants to sync more than X% of your item quot; popup window.
In case you can'tfigure out the silline that is the image I've included with this post (and I don't blame you), it's a combination ofthe .Mac System Preference Pane (on left), the .Mac tab of iSync (bottom right), and iSync's preferences that allow meto chose the Data Change Alert percentage threshold (top left).
I recently added about 200 notes to Yojimboon my iMac that I exported out of an old copy of StickyBrain a while ago. On my PowerBook, this obviously triggered the.Mac Sync warning of "you're about to change more than 5% of your data, are you sure you want to do this?"dialog. I then thought to myself: "hmm, since I change a lot of my .Mac stuff on a regular basis, maybe I shouldincrease that percentage so this dialog doe 't bother me again."
I haven't done this in a while, butsince I came up through Jaguar and Panther I was used to tweaking .Mac stuff in iSync. So I strolled on over to the.Mac tab in iSync to - oh but wait! As you can see in the bottom right of my scree hot, it sounds like iSync is nolonger used to manage .Mac information. Woo , my mistake. Maybe I should open up the .Mac System Preference pane to -wait a minute... I don't see any place in that preference pane to tweak the Data Change Alert setting!
Bynow you probably get where I'm going with this, so I'll just leave you with a question: how on earth did this ha en,A le? With Tiger, you said that you unified and improved the .Mac user experience... by sending me to three differentlocatio and preference systems to get this figured out?
Here's hoping Leopard brings with it the Mac-daddy(haha) of updates to one of your most-pimped features of OS X.
