Display Localized Directory Name on Mac OS X

如果你想建立一個目錄
並希望目錄名稱可以隨著『不同的系統語言設定』而『顯示不同的名稱』
範例:目錄 Work,在中文環境下顯示『工作』
步驟如下
1. change directory “Work” to “Work.localized”
2. create a diectory ./Work.localized/.localized
3. create a file ./Work.localized/.localized/en.strings

"Work" = "Work";

4. create a file ./Work.localized/.localized/zh_TW.strings

"Work" = "工作";

自動影片分割

因為要上傳影片到 Youtube
必須將影片分割成數個不超過10分鐘長度的小片段
可是在 Mac OS X 下好像沒有好用的軟體
可又不想用 Quicktime 來一個一個手動分割
所以參考了一些資料後
寫了一個 AppleScript
File name : splite.scpt

(*
    Splite Quicktime Movie into equally sized for Youtube

    set sourceFile to choose file with prompt "choose video file as source"
    set theFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder for the slices:") as text

    tell application "Finder"
        my splitteVideo(sourceFile, theFolder)
    end tell

    on splitteVideo(sourceFile, theFolder)
    
    tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
        activate
        try
            open sourceFile
            on error
            display dialog "Open a movie first" buttons ["OK"] with title "Error"
            return
        end try
