Mosaic Cell and MosaicI was using terminal to look for all of the .qtz's that are "inside" of the application bundles... and was poking around iPhoto. When I try to open up MosaicCell.qtz, it says I need the MoviePreviewLoaderPatch. When I open up Mosaic, it says I need the MosaicCell patch... So I am figuring that I just need to find the MoviePreviewLoader Patch to check both comps out, but I can't find it anywhere... I don't see any thing that seems to match this name in any of the system folders, or in the application... Has anyone run into this? If I find the patch, would it even work? On another note... Have there been many seed patches or filters/ etc., that didn't make it into finished releases over the various versions? |
In QC, an application is able to have internal classes that it can tell QC to use as patches. MoviePreviewLoader is one such patch. It's inside Photo Booth's binary.
class-dump Photo Booth.app, and you'll find this tasty morsel:
extracting and using that patch would be interesting, but probably a bit difficult.
ok, actually probably not -- the app could just be loaded as a bundle, and the class stuff hardcoded... don't ask :)
Yeah... I understand exactly what you are saying.... I was poking around, expecting to see a plug-in in one of the folders, and now I see how laughable an idea that was!
The NDA discourages us from talking about anything interesting in the pre-release seeds --- but in short, no, there haven't, as far as I've noticed.
(With the one exception being maybe the Cellular Automata CI Filter, but I didn't get a chance to explore it before it (apparently) disappeared.)
