I thought one of the important benefits WRI advertises for the Demonstrations Project was pedagogic. I have to copy from the downloaded source file and paste to a New Notebook several sets of expressions individually to get an Editable/Savable version which includes the citation and reference material for future attribution purposes. The downloaded source notebook cannot be Saved or Saved As on my system. One other hope is that WRI might make downloading Demonstrations source code for the Mathematica user a simpler process. I now do not have to deal with the bizarre behavior of the CDF Player/Plug-in combo (I hope there are no strange consequences of removal of the ugin, I have seen none so far). This also has the considerable merit that it works for all the browsers on my system (Safari, FireFox, Chrome). Locate the file "ugin" in the path " /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ugin" and remove it from the Internet Plug-Ins Directory. I managed to find out how to do it on my Mac system (detailed below) with a little exploring.įor others who have been following this thread the trick is: > Fortunately, the plug-in is easy to turn off in Safari. > on their own laptops (which will by default open. > classrooms, but I fear it will sow confusion when students are working We might change the setting the next time we re-image the > Save Link As, and end up with the file opening up - very slowly - in > I see the students getting annoyed when they forget to do a right-click nb files in the browser plug-in on our classroom computers, and > opening the file in Mathematica on most of my computers. nb file action in Firefox back to the old behavior of > embedded Flash video), but other than that, I don't get it. > suppose if people start commonly embedding CDFs into a webpage (a la > the Player only, I can see opening up files in the browser plug-in, or I > download the file or open it directly in Mathematica. nb in the browser, when I have Mathematica installed.
