Mac OS X's Spaces (part of Mission Control since OS X 10.7 'Lion') is a feature that allows you to spread your programs across up to 16 separate desktop areas. These spaces will help you to organize your activities, since they provide you with far more 'space' to work with than is available on your physical display (s). Note that there is a CUDA Toolkit 10.2 release for Mac OS, but according to the documentation it's only compatible with OS X 10.13.6 (High Sierra), while it's also only compatible with Xcode 10.2, which is only compatible with OS X 10.14.3 (Mojave) or later. I'm not sure what the status of this is or if/how CUDA 10.2 works on High Sierra. When you install the Microsoft OneDrive sync app for Mac, a copy of your OneDrive is downloaded to your Mac and put in the OneDrive folder. This folder is kept in sync with OneDrive. If you add, change, or delete a file or folder on the OneDrive website, the file or folder is added, changed, or deleted in your OneDrive folder and vice versa.

NOTE: This guide was updated on 2020-07-30 to recommend using CUDA 10.1 and Xcode 10.1 versions. The Homebrew formula was also updated on 2019-11-06 to AliceVision 2.2.0 to support Meshroom 2019.2.0.

AliceVision and its Meshroom program are an exciting new free and open-source pipeline for photogrammetry processing. Unfortunately, compiling and using either of these programs on Mac OS X is not exactly straightforward. As a result, I've compiled a Homebrew tap which includes the necessary formulae, and will use this post to outline how to use them to get up and running. Note that this is intended as a first step for Mac users wishing to experiment with and improve the AliceVision/Meshroom software, and as a result these instructions may become outdated with time.

System Requirements

First off, your Mac will currently need an nVidia GPU with a CUDA compute capability of 2.0 or greater. This is probably a pretty small portion of all Macs sold, but you can check your GPU by looking in 'About This Mac' from the Apple icon in the top left corner of the screen, under 'Graphics'. If you have an nVidia GPU listed there, you can check its compute capability on the nVidia CUDA GPUs page.

Second, you're going to need to install CUDA Toolkit 10.1, which is only officially compatible with OS X 10.13 (High Sierra), so you may also need to upgrade to the latest version of High Sierra (but not Mojave!) if you haven't already. If you've already upgraded to Mojave or later, your only option is to install and boot from High Sierra on a separate disk. Alongside this I would also suggest installing the latest nVida CUDA GPU webdriver, which as of this writing is 387.10.10.10.40.135. Note that there is a CUDA Toolkit 10.2 release for Mac OS, but according to the documentation it's only compatible with OS X 10.13.6 (High Sierra), while it's also only compatible with Xcode 10.2, which is only compatible with OS X 10.14.3 (Mojave) or later. I'm not sure what the status of this is or if/how CUDA 10.2 works on High Sierra with Xcode 10.2 somehow force-installed on High Sierra.

Third, CUDA 10.1 is only compatible with the version of clang distributed with Xcode 10.1, and will refuse to compile against anything else. You may have an older or newer version of Xcode installed. As of this writing, if you fully update Xcode within a fully updated OS X install, you'll have Xcode 10.1. To get back to Xcode 10.1, what you can do is go to Apple's Developer Downloads page (for which you'll need a free Apple developer account), then search for 'Xcode 10.1', then install the Command Line Tools for Xcode 10.1 package for your OS version. After installing, run sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools and then verify that clang --version shows Apple LLVM version 10.0.0. You can also see this page for instructions on how to switch between multiple versions of Xcode.

Once you've done all this, you can verify a working CUDA install by going to /Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA-10.1/samples/1_Utilities/deviceQuery and running sudo make && ./deviceQuery Best odds playing craps. , which should output your GPU information. If it doesn't build correctly (i.e. you see nvcc fatal : The version ('??.?') of the host compiler ('Apple clang') is not supported), or deviceQuery errors or doesn't list your GPU, you may need to look over the steps above and check that everything is up to date (you can also check the CUDA panel in System Preferences).

There will be no more CUDA support for Mac OS after 10.13 High Sierra. There are no new CUDA Toolkit releases which support building CUDA code on Mac OS. Please see this issue on the AliceVision issue tracker if you would like to track the progress of AliceVision enabling builds which do not depend on CUDA.

The following instructions also assume a working Homebrew install.

Installation

If you've followed all the above setup instructions and requirements, installing the AliceVision libraries/framework should be as easy as:

Meshroom Installation & Usage

I haven't yet created a Homebrew formula for the Meshroom package itself, as it's all Python and doesn't seem particularly difficult to install/use once AliceVision is installed and working correctly. Just follow the install instructions there (for my specific Python configuration/installation I used pip3 instead of pip and python3 instead of python):

One gotcha I ran into is that the CUDA-linked AliceVision binaries invoked by Meshroom don't automatically find the CUDA libraries on the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, and setting the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH from the shell launching Meshroom doesn't seem to get the variable passed into the shell environment Meshroom uses to spawn commands. Without this, you'll get an error like:

In order to get around this, you can symlink the CUDA libraries into /usr/local/lib (most of the other workarounds I found for permanently modifying the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH seemed more confusing or fragile than this simpler approach):¹

You can undo/uninstall this with: Deep sea (canoi gomes) mac os.

You may also want to download the voctree dataset:

Then launch with:

Import some photos, click 'Start', wait a while, and hopefully you should end up with a reconstructed and textured mesh (here's an example of my own which I uploaded to SketchFab). By default, the output will be in MeshroomCache/Texturing/ (relative to where you saved the project file).

The Finder

Despite the window resizing performance improvements discussed earlier, I found the Finder to be the most disappointing new application in Mac OS X 10.1. I'm disappointed because, performance improvements aside, the 10.1 Finder still does not allow me to work the way I want to. Many of the 10.0.x bugs remain as well.

There are some interface improvements, however. I'll list them first.

Finder Improvements

• The state of disclosure triangles in list-view windows is now retained. Combined with the improved resize performance, list view windows are finally useful again.
• Icons on the desktop no longer jump into seemingly random positions across logins and reboots.
• The truncation algorithm used to display long file names is improved.
• Typing the first few letters of a file or folder name now causes list-view windows to scroll to the new selection.
• There is a new preference to always open folders in a new window.
• The warning before emptying the trash is now optional.
• Command-drag now toggles the grid snap on a per-drag basis. (Although this feature is of questionable use since command-click is now the multiple selection keyboard combination in the Finder. Just try command-dragging several icons in succession and you'll see what I mean.)
• Disk icons are now customizable.
• Column widths in column view are now adjustable, both together and independently.

Finder Bugs

Now, a tour of some of the bugs.

• Mounting your iDisk causes the entire Finder application to become unresponsive while the volume is mounted. Further navigation within the iDisk suffers form the same problem.
• The insertion point disappears while it's being moved left or right when editing a file name. (Actually, this seems to affect almost all text entry fields in OS X.) Can you guess where the insertion point will land?
• Window sizes and positions are sporadically forgotten, or depend on the particular location from which a folder was opened.
• List view windows sometimes forget their customized column order and widths.
• Windows sometimes get stuck in positions that do not show any white space on one side of the icons near the edge, and do not offer scroll bars to correct the situation.
• The zoom widget can cause Finder windows to position themselves behind the Dock.
• The Finder window toolbar sporadically reappears, despite any number attempts to keep it turned off for a particular window.
• When the Finder window toolbar does appear spontaneously, it does so by 'stealing pixels' from the window's former size. When the toolbar is dismissed (again), the window size is smaller than before the toolbar made its unscheduled appearance.
• The 'shrink-to-fit' behavior of the zoom widget sometimes sizes the window to a seemingly arbitrary size that may include extraneous (or not enough) white space on one or more sides.
• Dragging a set of icons into an icon-view window causes them to move to seemingly random positions in the destination window, rather than retaining their former arrangement.

Missing Features

• Finder labels do not exist in 10.1, but are still rumored to be on the long list of things Apple plans to add in the future.
• There is still no adequate replacement for pop-up folders or spring-loaded folders. There are many alternatives, but none of them reproduce all of the functional merits of these missing features.
• The Finder's context menus remain very sparsely populated. There's not even an option to change a window's view type, or to change the desktop background.
• Font sizes and grid spacing are not adjustable. (Just had to mention that one more time.)

Dubious Features

The One Room Mac Os Downloads

The 10.1 Finder allows files to be copied and pasted. Or, more precisely, it allows a copy of a file to be placed in a new location, and uses the 'Copy' and 'Paste' commands in the Finder's 'Edit' menu to do so. It does not, however, behave like Copy and Paste in any other context. For example, the data that is 'Pasted' is not guaranteed to be the data as it existed at the time of the 'Copy' operation. Instead, it is the data as it exists at the time of the 'Paste' operation. 'Pasted' files also do not replace the current selection.

Unfortunately, most users do not seem to know or care that the Copy/Paste semantics that have not changed for seventeen years on the Mac platform are being violated by this new feature. I find this extremely troubling on several fronts.

First, the fact that Apple itself is doing this is upsetting (but, at this point, not that surprising). I know Apple is trying to define a new user experience for the Mac with Mac OS X, but I don't think the Copy/Paste interface benefits at all from this new exception to its long-standing interface rules.

Second, on a much more pragmatic front, I see no reason that the same exact file copy functionality couldn't be added through a different menu (say, I don't know, how about the File menu) and implemented independent of the clipboard and the Copy/Paste interface.

The behavior presented by this feature in 10.1 makes sense, given its purpose as a method for command-driven deferred file copying. But the fact that it differs from the behavior of Copy/Paste in all other contexts is a clear sign that it deserves to be its own distinct set of commands in the Finder. Overloading Copy/Paste for this purpose makes about as much sense and using 'Save' and 'Print'.

I'm not sure if these issues were discussed and dismissed at Apple, or if they never came up at all. But the feature in its current form in 10.1 is a disappointing sign that priorities have shifted at Apple. Yes, perhaps the interface inconsistency created by this implementation will go unnoticed by the average user. But the measure of good interface design should not be based on which gaffes can be sneaked past the casual user. It's Apple's job to create an interface that's better than what the average user might create. Bullet shield mac os. Apple is supposed to be the faithful keeper of the interface—the expert creator and the watchdog for consistency. Instead, they've violated the semantics of perhaps the oldest single interface on the Mac platform, either unknowingly, or in a misguided effort to duplicate Windows.

I know I'm probably in the minority with my concern over this implementation (and, more importantly, the change in thinking that it represents). But I also know that I was in the minority when I chose the Macintosh platform, with its 'funny rules' about how the interface should behave, over a decade ago. I hope Apple at least considers divorcing this new feature from the clipboard and Copy/Paste.

I'm not sure if this next feature belongs here, or in the missing features section above. The 10.1 Finder claims to support SMB file sharing with Windows hosts. And it does.sort of. The user must select the 'Connect To Server.' item in the 'Go' menu and then type a URL in the form of 'smb://servername/sharename'. There is no GUI interface for browsing servers or shares (as this page might lead you to believe after a quick glance). If you get any part of the URL wrong, you are given the same generic error. It looks like this feature was rushed out the door in order to maintain a bullet point on the marketing literature. If you're looking for fully integrated Windows networking, you'll have to wait a bit longer.

(There's one more 'dubious feature', but it affects more than just the Finder. It will have a section of its own a bit later.)

(There's one more 'dubious feature', but it affects more than just the Finder. It will have a section of its own a bit later.)

More Problems

While the 10.1 Finder's icon grid scales with the icon size, it is still much too wide, and remains unadjustable. This makes it less useful for arranging anything other than the icons with very long names.

Sorry, that's as close as they'll get

(Changing icon sizes also causes the icons to move, which I consider a bug rather than a feature.)

The grid problem is slightly worse than it was in 10.0.x due to the new technique used to display long file names in the limited space beneath each icon. In 10.1, long names are wrapped to two lines. This solves the earlier problem of file names with '.' in the middle of them in icon view (the problem remains in list and column view), but introduces yet more white space beneath each icon on the grid. In a window arranged according to the 10.0.x icon grid, the new double-line names overlap. But when arranged according to the 10.1 grid, the overlap is eliminated.

The One Room Mac Os Download

The 10.1 icon grid includes less horizontal space (but is still wastefully wide, in my opinion), but more vertical space (to allow for the two-line names) than the 10.0.4 icon grid.

The entire grid width issue might not be such a problem if the font used to display file names was customizable. The current font is extremely wide compared to the classic Mac OS default, and is partially to blame for both the excessively wide grid spacing and the common appearance of ellipses in file and folder names. Compare the width of the same folder name in list and icon view in Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X:

File names on the desktop are constrained to even narrower dimensions than in Finder windows. This, in combination with the new two-line name wrapping, leads to the strange sight shown on the right.

Column view does not escape unscathed either. For example, the adjustable column widths in column view are great until you try to resize a column after independently resizing another one. The independently resized column instantly returns to the same size as the other columns.

Double-clicking on an icon in the far-right pane is still a game of speedy reflexes, as the icon you want to double-click slides out from under your cursor the second you make the first click (in order to make room for the preview pane).

The sort order of each column remains unadjustable. Lost ;; alone mac os.

What Problems?

I'll stop now, because I think you get the picture. But you may think 'the picture' is that of a pedant determined to find every little thing wrong with the Mac OS X finder, so let me explain.

Taken individually, the bugs and problems listed above may not seem that bad (although some are pretty troubling on their own). But they combine to thwart any attempt to recreate the interface that has defined the Mac user experience since 1984: the spatial Finder.

I've covered all of this at length before, so I won't rehash it all now. But I do find it troubling that the seemingly simple and obvious things that would finally give Mac OS X a true spatial Finder experience—things that have seemed as easy as breathing to Apple for the previous seventeen years and have never wavered in any prior version of Mac OS—seem so unattainable in the Mac OS X Finder, even after years of development and six months on the market.

Mac OS X needs a spatial Finder, and it needs it yesterday. It is second only to performance in the list of areas where OS X fails to live up to its classic Mac OS predecessors. Performance got a substantial boost in 10.1. When will a proper Finder return?

Finder Summary

The 10.1 Finder is an improvement over the 10.0.x version, but most of the gains are a result of performance improvements, not feature enhancements. The 10.1 Finder still suffers from annoying 'lock-outs' during some network activities. Many long-requested features remain unimplemented: labels, better context-menus, pop-up folders, spring-loaded folders, truly integrated Windows networking, etc. Font sizes and grid spacing remain unadjustable. Only a handful of the countless bugs that plagued the 10.0.x Finder have been fixed, and some new ones have been added.

Although the 10.1 Finder provides a better overall user experience than the 10.0.x Finder, it will still frustrate users who want to use more than just the browser-style interface. The 10.1 Finder is still not able to function properly as the consistent, predictable, spatial interface to files and folders that has carried the name 'Finder' for the life of the Mac platform.
