Hi Ross, I purchased your BetCalc Pro iPhone app from iTunes. Not bad but one very frustrating bug. The default numeric keypad that comes up when you want to enter odds does not give you the option of using the “/” to enter fractional odds or “.” to enter decimal odds. Would you kindly address this issue as soon as possible and get in touch. Thanks and Regards.

Hi Scott,

Firstly, deleting the com.apple.Preview.plist file won’t fix this issue. It’s the Screen Capture plist that needs to go.

Try deleting the com.apple.screencapture as described above.

If you don’t have one, try the following: Open Terminal and paste the following command in substituting your account name for the yourusername string: defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/yourusername/Desktop/

If this doesn’t work, try creating a new dummy user account and logging into it. See if you can use the New from clipboard feature from there..let me know how it goes.

Cheers

Rosco

I am having the same problem with Preview using OS 10.5.8, somehow it has become corrupted. In Preview, under the file menu “New From Clipboard” is grayed out/inactive. I tried deleting “com.apple.Preview.plist” from Home Directory/Library/Preferences, rebooting, running Disc Utility repair permissions, etc. but nothing is working. Any suggestions from you knowledgeable MAC users out there?

First of all, it didn’t work for me. Second, “Enjoy yet another great built in Mac feature”, Seriously?? A bugged print screen is a great Mac feature?
