I need an OS X tool like the Linux KDM kdesu or Gnome gksudo, which will ask the user for admin information graphically and then run a shell command with those permissions. Is there such a thing for OS X? Basically I want to temporarily elevate my permissions using a graphical form, like you get in Installer or Iceberg. Yes there is. I think you can do this with Authentication Services. I'm a little short on details, though, as I've never had to do it myself. You might be better off asking on the Cocoa-dev or Carbon-dev mailing lists: Cocoa-dev signup and archives: <http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/cocoa-dev > Carbon-dev signup and archives: <http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/carbon-dev > You can search the archives first to see if someone's already answered your question. And if not, you can then add yourself and ask your question. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

I'd try Apple Care or an Apple Store. There are also lots of user help forums like http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=952 http://forums.creativecow.net/forum/appledvdstudiopro We're having problems with DVD Studio Pro 4 (fully patched; on a G5; 10.4) becoming unresponsive after doing a burn simulation, and then the project won't open (DVD Studio Pro again becomes unresponsive). I've trashed the .plist, no help. Maybe it is media being handled oddly, I'm not sure. There is some .wma in said projects. There is plenty of room on the drive the work is taking place on. I've taken samples in Activity Monitor of the app when it becomes unresponsive; I'm not able to suss anything out in that myself.

WWDC happens from June 9th - 13th. Sessions info is available here: I don't see a session specific to FC Server, but that's what developers at NAB were told, so I expect there to be one. Its details may not be public yet, though. I would think that after WWDC, any information will eventually become public, too, though not necessarily immediately. Does anyone at Apple have timescales on when API/scripting access to the Final Cut Server will be published. Or even just a rough guide to what is planned to be scriptable once the relevant documentation has been released. Jon Bradley wrote: Thanks for passing along the queries. We're definitely interested in evaluating FCS to see if it will solve the problems we are running into for workflow and archival of massive quantities of media. One of our workflow requirements for the solution we're developing is external access to the content stored within the video repository - web driven of course with a rich interactive layer on top (Adobe AiR/Flex). If the capabilities of FCS include some robust scripting control, then it becomes a very attractive solution for a much wider audience. Since there isn't an evaluation version yet or any other details, spending 1-2k just to evaluate it's utility is a tough proposition. Again, thanks for the ultra-rapid response! No apologies necessary! It's a technical question that I can imagine may be tough to answer with all that's going on - especially as fresh on the market as this software is. I got on the phone with pro support yesterday for a bit to ask a very similar question but didn't get anything specific. I don't even think Apple knows. :) 1. What scripting options are available for Final Cut Server? AppleScript is not scripting option for web-based systems - that's an OS level thing that has nothing to do with running a web site on top of the FCS system. I read briefly that Ruby might be a language (maybe Python), which is getting somewhere. There are no details on the scripting capabilities of Final Cut Server anywhere in the documentation - administration or setup. 2. Is there an API layer (web services, etc.) that can be accessed? What type of API, if there is one? So, does /anyone/ at Apple even know what the capabilities are in this arena? Seems to be a pretty straightforward question with a straightforward answer. The press releases and documentation seem to allude to full scripting capabilities, but nowhere is it detailed to any extent. Of course /someone/ at Apple has an answer. But as you can imagine with just finishing a release they've been a little busy. Being a new product, I'm guessing they don't have anyone on this list yet to answer questions. I've forwarded your request to my manager and am attempting to find someone who can not only answer your question, but hopefully spend some time answering questions on this list each week. It may take a day or two before I find the right person. (Also, several of us will be at NAB next week, so it may take slightly longer than normal to get a response.) I apologize for the delay.
