Description Weldon Matt 2009-05-19 10:16:40 UTC
On my Mac, I have the short username"rabid3k" and a long name "Matthew Weldon" (the name I use when prompted to allow a software insatllation or other major change etc.)

When choosing a default string for the "library name" after SC installs, we should be using the "long" username, not the "short" one (so the default library name in this case would be "Matthew Weldon's Music Library").
Comment 1 Spies Steven 2009-05-19 10:41:26 UTC
This appears to be one way to get the long name on Mac OS X:

dscl . -read /Users/`whoami` RealName
Comment 2 Chris Owens 2009-05-20 09:23:01 UTC
Just making sure Matt is cc'ed on all of these, per his email request.
Comment 3 Blackketter Dean 2009-05-26 08:21:21 UTC
I propose that we move this back to the computer name.  Matt: That would, at least on a Mac, make the default "Matt's Computer", which is pretty good.

change 26740 - default to machine name again.
