Well I’ve narrowed my issue down to DISPLAY SLEEP
If I set my monitors to NEVER sleep and only run the screen saver than my monitor madness doesnt happen
So something about letting them sleep screws thing sup to the point when I log back in it can take up to 10 minutes for me to get them, back under control
Lord I hate these things
So here’s a little droplet, in AppleScript, to remove them
Yes I thought about writing it in something else
But the AppleScript is 213 K and just about everything else would be quite a bit larger
Some, many megabytes
The ENTIRE text is as follows
-- This droplet processes files dropped onto the applet
on open these_items
repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items
set this_item to item i of these_items
set the item_info to info for this_item
if folder of the item_info is true then
process_folder(this_item)
else
try
set this_extension to the name extension of item_info
on error
set this_extension to ""
end try
try
set this_filetype to the file type of item_info
on error
set this_filetype to ""
end try
try
set this_typeID to the type identifier of item_info
on error
set this_typeID to ""
end try
if (folder of the item_info is false) and (package folder of the item_info is false) and (alias of the item_info is false) then
process_file(this_item)
end if
end if
end repeat
end open
-- this sub-routine processes folders
on process_folder(this_folder)
set these_items to list folder this_folder without invisibles
repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items
set this_item to alias ((this_folder as Unicode text) & (item i of these_items))

end process_folder

on process_file(this_item)
-- NOTE that during execution, the variable this_item contains a file reference in alias format to the item passed into this sub-routine

set thePathToFile to POSIX path of this_item
log thePathToFile
set theresult to do shell script "/usr/bin/xattr \"" & thePathToFile & "\"" as text

set theParagraphs to paragraphs of theresult
