# macOS
Useful tidbits for macOS
## [.emacs](.emacs)
This is my usual Emacs configuration file. Most options are commented with a short explanation.
## [Evernote Export](Evernote%20Export.applescript)
I use this very simple AppleScript to export my Evernote notes nightly before my computer backs itself up. It is a source file but you can use Script Editor to turn it into an executable script.
**Support for AppleScript was removed in Evernote 10. Overall Evernote has been plagued with bugs and is overpriced as a result so I have since moved to [Joplin](https://joplinapp.org).**
## [Evernote Sed](Evernote%20Sed.applescript)
This script applies sed commands to all my notes' titles. You should use the `osascript` command to invoke this script from the command line.
**Support for AppleScript was removed in Evernote 10. Overall Evernote has been plagued with bugs and is overpriced as a result so I have since moved to [Joplin](https://joplinapp.org).**
## [TrueCrypt Auto-mount Favorites](org.truecrypt.auto-mount-favorites.plist)
This plist file can be used to mount all your favorited TrueCrypt images on login. Simply put that file in your `~/Library/LaunchAgents/` folder and then load it using the following command:
`$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.truecrypt.auto-mount-favorites.plist`
**TrueCrypt is discontinued so I have migrated to [VeraCrypt](https://www.veracrypt.fr). There is an easier way to do this with VeraCrypt, simply configure macOS to open the encrypted file [on login](https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/mac-help/mh15189/mac)**
## [kext-switch](kext-switch)
The kernel extensions of VirtualBox and macFUSE / OSXFuse sometimes conflict
with each other. This script allows you to choose which one you want
to run using the following commands:
`$ kext-swtich fuse`
`$ kext-swtich vbox`
`$ kext-swtich status`
