MacOS – How to suppress the “OS X Spotlight search information was removed” warning

macospages

Whenever I open an old Pages document in Pages 5, I now get the following warning message:

Some changes were made to your document.

OS X Spotlight search information was removed.

Screenshot

Is there a way to suppress this annoying and useless warning forever? Like, a shell script I can run on a list of documents to remove the search information all in one go? (I assumed xattr would help with this, but I couldn’t find any specific metadata on the files.)

Best Answer

Simply save the document and you will be asked if you want to upgrade. Click "Agree" and the next time you open the document there will no longer be any warning.

MacOS – Was the FileMerge application removed from OS X 10.7.3

With Xcode 4.3, Apple has moved the content of /Developer to the usual places for applications etc. Filemerge is accessible by starting Xcode and then accessing Xcode -> Open Developer Tool. If it's not listed there, select "More Developer Tools" to install it.

Physically it's part of Xcode.app (Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/FileMerge.app) and can be executed stand-alone by inspecting the package content of Xcode.app. If you really need it outside of Xcode often, you can also create an alias/symlink to start it directly (or just drag it into the Dock).

MacOS – cpio’s file on disk is not older; skipping — how to suppress this warning

One workaround of course is to filter the output of cpio using grep; however, this is a chunk of extra typing. What I really want is the Leopard behavior.

cd master-directory
(
    find . | cpio -pdmv /first/shadow/destination
    find . | cpio -pdmv /second/shadow/destination
) 2>&1 | grep -v -e'skipping' -e'^[:space:]*$'
