Greetsaver Update
by ejk
As requested by superpatron Ed Vielmetti, here's a fresh link to the latest and greatest version of our "GreetSaver", which welcomes patrons and visitors to various locations of the Library.
This should work on any Mac running OSX Leopard, but there's a bit of additional configuration that must be done. You need to subscribe to the AADL video podcast, and you need to put some awesome library pictures into a new folder called "GreetPics" inside your Pictures folder (~/Pictures/GreetPics for you terminal geeks out there).
*UPDATE* I forgot I used a custom patch to grab the video files on the welcome page. If you want them to show up follow these instructions:
- Download the latest Folder Movies patch from Kineme: FolderMoviesPatch
- Create a new folder in /Library/Graphics called "Quartz Composer Patches" (there should already be a folder there called "Quartz Composer Plug-Ins", don't use that folder)
- Copy the FolderMoviesPatch.plugin file into this new folder "Quartz Composer Patches"
This should make a random movie from the AADL video podcast display on the welcome screen.
Enjoy, and throw me a note if you have questions or want to mash it up.
