Why haven't I received an email from Dejal?

· FAQ · general

If you send an email to Dejal asking for support, you should expect a reply within 24 hours. If you don’t get one, chances are your email service has mis-flagged it as spam. So check your spam folder. If you use the contact form, and request a reply, you will get an automated reply email from the Dejal server within minutes, acknowledging receipt. And will get a personal reply within 24 hours, if needed. So if you don’t get that automatic reply, again check your spam folder. I know it’s frustrating to write to a company and not get a reply. As an indie developer, I strive to provide excellent…

Secret screenshot tips

· general

[Like other recent posts, this is an updated repost of an older post from the previous Dejal blog; here’s the original in the web archive for comparison.] I take a lot of screenshots while documenting my apps, and for my personal Sinclair Trails blog. While I’ve used third-party tools in the past, Apple’s built-in screenshot tools work really well. The simplest is the whole-screen screenshot hotkey. Pressing ⇧⌘3 (Shift-Command-3) will save a PNG image of the whole screen (or multiple pictures if you have multiple screens) to the Desktop. (You can change the hotkey via the System Settings ▸…

I get a warning of another copy of Time Out

· FAQ · Time Out

Look in your Dock and menu bar; does Time Out appear more than once? If it's in the Dock more than once, you can long-click or right-click on the Dock icon to display the Dock menu for the app, then choose Options ▸ Show in Finder to reveal the app in the Finder. Do this for each to find the one that shouldn't be there — it could be in your Downloads folder, or in a subfolder of Applications if you installed both from the Dejal site and the Mac App Store. Once you find the duplicate, quit that app (by double-clicking the app icon to bring it to the front, then press ⌘Q), then move it to the…

No Time Out break appears when I try to start one

You should restart your Mac. That often fixes wackiness. If that doesn’t help, make sure you don’t have more than one copy of Time Out. If still no luck, there may be a permissions issue. To fix a permissions issue, try this: Make sure Time Out is in your Applications folder. Paste the following command into Terminal: xattr -d -r -s com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Time\ Out.app If this gives a permissions error (e.g.…
