still in the process of testing. the only thing i found so far is that on a few sheets, you didn't set return as key equivalent for "ok" and that the "at cell" textfield is case sensitive; entering "B4" works, "b4" not -- and as you can see in my postings, i rarely use the shift key... :D

you did set the document types your app handles in target > application settings > document types so that the finder knows your app can handle them?

wow, one of the best suggestions in a long time. i'll deffinetely do that, thanks! well, the real work is done by "locate", it's very underestimated, i use it very regularly and have absolutely no idea how i could live without that in os 9. might lose it's justification for existence as...

agree. :D well, it does nothing too special, have a look: http://www.sebastian-krauss.de/locator i tweaked the indexing of removable media, now works nicely in the background and indexed media can be grouped in "categories", so you can have your collection of picture cds and a collections...

whitesaint, i'd also be interested in the videos, i assume they're just urls of streaming qt videos? haha, i'm also thinking about taking part in the competition... completely different app, probably not as advanced, but nice, too. leave me the ibook, ok? :D

no, not the one indicating that a search is going on but the one that shows the relevance (or whatever it's called on english systems) when you search for *contents* of files. (believe me, i have an idea of what which gui element is called and how it's used ;) ) use some stretched gray image...

of course you can stop them. but you are not *supposed* to use them to show status. human interface guidelines. they state that you should use the carbon thingie sherlock also uses. which could be kind of a challenge from applscript. ;-)

simx, i don't want to be picky, but before you submit it to the apple design awards... you are aware of the fact that according to the higs, you're not supposed to use progressindicators to show a state, right? well, unless you wanted to demonstrate memory leaks and they'd all slowly move to...

no, sorry, i meant the label for the popup menu. since i couldn't find it in your nib, i guess you construct this at runtime. use something like [NSFont systemFontOfSize:[NSFont systemFontSize]], if that helps...

looks nice. the only two things i've discovered so far are: in the "save as" dialog, don't use helvetica for "File Format" and make the popup menu the same size as the one above. and: in the application menu, rename "hide newapplication"

looks good, it tells me the version and the switches available. is this a new version? what's changed? makes life for people without office (like me) a lot easier... :) oh, just a cosmetic thing, but now you got a ".DS_Store" in the pkg... i always use pacifist to look at pkgs...

you seem to have forgotten to check the "requires authentication" checkbox. unless you use pacifist, there's no way you can do this with apple's installer because unless you checked that option, it won't show you the padlock during the installation. no installation into /bin without...

no, setframe requires a frame. you can use NSMakeRect(float x, float y, float w, float h) as argument. then, you set the window's view with something like this: [myWindow setContentView:someNewView]; don't start with the window staying where it is at the beginning, that's something you can...

doesn't /Developer/Applications/Packagemaker do everything you could ask for? why re-invent the wheel? or do you want to do anything it can't do?

no big deal. all it is, is a window with a configurable toolbar that changes its size and animates the resizing. associate a "preference view" with every toolbar item and then do something similar to [myMainWindow setFrame:frameOfNewView display:YES animate:YES]; make sure to calculate the...

OK, nobody? In another thread, whitesaint had asked me for the source code which I sent him, so why not let you see my problem... The source is here: http://www.uni-hildesheim.de/~skra0063/YAD.sit "YAD" is the best I could come up with for "Yet another desktop (utility/tool/whatever)"...

ok, i have to admit that so far, i've only had a look at applescript studio, never done anything with it. but /developer/examples/applescript studio/mixed bag looks like the answer to your question. i personally have used nstasks with osascript. quite easy and very handy if you just want to...

OK, I just thought I could give an example... When I want osascript to do something to the file /Users/sjobs/earnings.txt, I pass :Users:sjobs:earnings.txt as path to osascript. Well, embedded in some instructions which are the argument for the NSTask. But that works, so that's not the point...

Sorry, yes, I could have been more specific. ;-) I get an error -10006, Apple Event Registry "Can't set to" -- Probably it can't "find" the file I'm referring to. In the end, with files without special characters in them, it works, so I figured that it cannot set the file because it cannot...

Hi everybody, I have written a small Cocoa app that needs to communicate with AppleScript through an NSTask. (Or, to be more specific, an NSTask with "/usr/bin/osascript" as launchPath) If the filename is 7-bit-ASCII-"clean", everything works fine. But as soon as I'm dealing with filenames...
