iTunes 9.2 adds Undo & Redo commands

iTunes 9.2 adds Undo & Redo commands: “Most applications have Undo and Redo commands, and iTunes has long had them available when editing song tags. Beginning with iTunes 9.2 (the latest version is 9.2.1), offers Undo and Redo commands which can be applied to songs which have been removed from or added to a playlist. Note, though, that these commands will not work for songs which have been removed from the Library.

As always, Undo is available from the Edit menu and can also be invoked using the keyboard with Command-Z. Redo is also in the Edit menu and can be done with the Command-Shift-Z keyboard shortcut.

I have no earlier version available for testing, but am confident 9.2 is when the feature I’ve noted was added. I regularly invoke the Undo keyboard shortcut just as a habitual response to a mistake, and I never witnessed the behavior prior to 9.2.

[crarko adds: I tested this, and it works as described.]

Mobile apps have become an embarrassment of riches. In a world with over 200,000 iPhone apps and over 100,000 Android apps, the toughest part is finding the most useful stuff.

For iPhone users, I’m going to throw you an assist by sharing my top 25. These are third-party apps that can help you be more productive, streamline several of your activities, reduce the number of gadgets in your life, and take advantage of the best benefits that mobile computing has to offer. I’m also going to follow up with similar lists of the best apps for Android and iPad.

The best way to view my list of the top iPhone apps is in the screenshot gallery, which includes 2-3 screenshots of each app and a short description of why I chose to include it in the list. However, you can also view the entire list below, along with a link to download each app in the App Store.”

How To Start Using Extensions In Safari 5 | Cult of Mac

This is huge. This will make Safari the killer app against Firefox. Extesnsibility was huge when deployed for the likes of Photoshop and Filemaker. I’ll bet there are a lot of excited developers at the conference, goes without saying.

Additional Update: There is a bug in the new webkit that conflicts with Filemaker sending PDFs in emails. The background of the mail message turns BLACK? Not that there is anything wrong with that if you like illegibility. I used Pacifist to downgrade Safari back to 4.05 and have had clients who needed to do the same.
