10.5: Resolution independence and screenshot tool issues

December 14th, 2007 | Category: Apple / Mac

I’m not certain whether or not that happens in Tiger, but it seems that whether you mess with resolution independence (the AppleDisplayScaleFactor value), next OS X’s built-in screenshot tool stops working.

The solution is

to open up the .GlobalPreferences.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences and delete the AppleDisplayScaleFactor string, save the file, and log out and back in.
