Sign Mobileconfig – Apple .mobileconfig configuration profile signing

During installation on iOS/macOS, digitally signed Apple configuration profile is shown with a green tick and corresponding note providing trust for the user. It is possible to use this command in Terminal to sign a .mobileconfig profile. However, it is easier to use a script which will request certificate file, private key and trust chain certificate in dialog.
First, create a new Automator Service named Sign MobileConfig.workflow in user folder
~/Library/Services
Then drag Run AppleScript element into Automator window, and fill it with the following code.

Device Icons (.icns)

Device Icons (.icns)

When using various flash drives, hard disks and memory cards, I like to have them with respective custom icons in Finder in place of default image. So I made my own icons for frequently used devices. It’s quite easy to do with iconutil. If you by any chance use the same devices, feel free to download ready icons in macOS .icns format.

Remove from EXIF – removal of lens and camera info from an image file

Remove from EXIF – removal of lens and camera info from an image file

It happens that you would like to avoid leaving information about which camera body and lens were used to create a photograph. These data could be removed from EXIF while keeping all the other metadata like location, aperture, shutter speed, etc. – with help of exiftool, a command-line utility to manipulate EXIF.
To make life easier, I created a small service application for macOS available from context menu. You right-click the image and select which information to remove from EXIF.
To have the same thing on your Mac, create an Automator Service named Remove from EXIF….workflow in the following folder.

Image Geotagger

Image Geotagger

The solution is made as OS X workflow and appears in Finder context menu. So it’s very easy to georeference your fresh or old images. You have not even to remember the app name 🙂
Basically, it is straightforward and self-explanatory, however, I’d comment on the workflow logic.

How to optimize Lightroom performance

You may google this topic and found several advices on a) tricking with Camera RAW cache size, and b) disabling .XMP file option. Personally I dislike disabling .XMP’s. That’s why: if a Lightroom catalog file fails you’ll stay with fresh unprocessed RAWs and all your work with developing files will be lost. (Of course you can manually export develop settings, but should you remember?)
Hence I offer another method. Idea is simple: turn off some of abundant Lightroom modules, or plug-ins, and application will start and work faster.
