Ride Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Is there any way to turn this annoying feature off? When I publish to PDF, preview automatically opens with the resulting PDF. But the VW icon bounces incessantly to tell me it published the PDF successfully. VW 2014 architect/interiorCAD Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.4 Quote Link to comment

Deviating from the instructions could cause issues. This isn't a procedure we normally prescribe, I just happen to have come across this in my travels. To disable this feature, open a Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and enter the following commands: defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool TRUE and then killall Dock Your Dock will close, then open again. From now on, none of your Dock icons will bounce. If at any point you want to reverse this, just enter the command: defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool FALSE and then killall Dock (For me this works for nearly all alert bouncing, but I have yet to figure out how to disable the startup bouncing.)

Ride Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Perfect. That worked. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Taproot Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I would second the request to disable this alert entirely. Quote Link to comment
