compressing files in Lion

October 04, 2011/ Rae Kaiser

Being a Stuff It fan I was not happy that it did not work with Lion. I assume at some point they will upgrade or maybe they have by now.

I asked my Apple trainer which program he would use and he suggested I just compress the files on my Mac and not use another program at all.

It is really simple...

Using my magic track pad I two finger click on what I want to compress. (I think that is right click with a mouse but I don't use a mouse so I don't know.)

A menu opens and I scroll down to Compress. I let go and it is compressed.

So simple. And another program I didn't have to find and buy.

New fabric on Spoonflower!

I have 61 fabrics and 40 wallpaper designs on Spoonflower.com. They are a print-on-demand site. That means you can buy a yard or 10 in whatever fabric you want. Cool, huh?

If you are not a sewist you can also order many different things using this fabric. I like to switch things up seasonally and this is an easy way to do it.
