Retrobatch, a new batch image processor from Flying Meat

[Looks like a heck of a swiss-army-knife of a tool][link]. It’s node-based, supports CoreML image classification and sorting, and yep… it supports AppleScript. FM’s suggestions for new use cases contain fun, weird, stuff like “Read an image from the clipboard, apply a drop shadow, and write it right back to the clipboard to paste into another app.”

Retrobatch is available as [a 14 day free trial][link], and [licenses start at $29.99](https://flyingmeat.com/store/). Props to Flying Meat for being one of those third-party Mac development houses that just keeps going.

Remove TimeMachine Backups.backupdb file manually via terminal command line

This weekend I started building a media center with the CHIP and an old external hard drive which formerly functioned as my Time Machine backup (here’s the new Time Machine drive). In the process, I needed to delete the old Time Machine backup but NOT format the drive. This proved to be harder than you’d think.

Long story short, the tool you’re looking for is `tmutil`. It exists solely to modify and delete Time Machine backups. Use it like this: `sudo tmutil delete /Volumes/YourDisk/Backups.backupdb`
