I created this custom UISplitViewController as one of my iPad project required Split view for only one screen. The default UISplitViewController provided by Apple can only be added to UIWindow which means you can’t use it with normal UINavigation based project with only one splitview screen.

Saurik will be doing the UI for us ;)

Disclaimer: There is no alternative to real Mac, if you like Mac go and buy it. If buying a real Mac is too much, you can at least buy a license for Mac OS X Snow Leopard which costs $29 only. This post is to test the Snow Leopard compatibility with Lenovo 3000 N100.

How to batch/bulk rename files with automatic sequence number? Try the following shell script from your terminal (OSX/*nix)

1. Create a new directory
2. Run the following command (you can replace newdir with the your directory name and some_prefix with your prefix the same applicable for extension as well. My eg., rename only the png files of the directory (there were no other extensions available).

i=0; for x in *.png; do cp \"$x\" "newdir/some_prefix_$i.png"; i=$(($i+1)); done

What if iPhone provides an accessibility option for users with bigger finger?
