Hello to everybody,
here i am again, after a long time of abstinence
--SimplySave
on idle
tell application "System Events"
beep
delay 4
-- tell application x to activate
keystroke "s" using command down
delay 5 * minutes
end tell
end idle
it’s fully functional, but it’s only a script. (without
response on “quit”- only the shell “killall x” -command quits this
littel application)
…i want to set a bit more things:
-a list of timeouts (min, sec)
-a list of applications to include/ exclude
-special keystrokes (like ctrl+“s” for Gimp…)
(to memorize in a preference file)
in form of help or some tutorials, whose explains the construction of a universal binaries with Xcode
Thanks
--SimplySave
on idle
tell application "System Events"
tell (processes whose frontmost is true) to set x to name
set time_1 to delay 5 * minutes
set time_2 to delay 10 * minutes
--set time_3 to delay 15 * minutes
set key_1 to keystroke "s" using command down
set key_2 to keystroke "s" using ctrl down
if x is in "X11" then
beep
delay 4
key_2
time_2
else
beep
delay 4
key_1
time_1
end if
end tell
end idle
how can i find the frontmost app?
The SimplySave app must run in backround, but how ?..
I’m not here to loss time with your bad quote!
all what i do is write applescripts, not xcode projects, but this must not rest so.
Any ideas, suggestions, tutorials on how write xcode, are welcome.
Joy,
I am sorry I do not mean to offend you or waste your time. I tried a simple script of the code I posted and it worked for me.
Sorry but I realize a language barrier may be hindering the understanding.
Hi Joy. Learning applescript studio is not something anyone can teach you. The bad news is that it’s more complicated than can be explained here. The good news is that Apple has already given you the tools to do learn it if you have the developer tools installed. Just open the xcode application and open the help documentation under the help menu. Search for the following 2 things and read them. Make sure you are searching by “title”.
Applescript Studio Programming Guide
AppleScript Studio Terminology Reference
The other help they give you is example projects. The examples are located in Developer/Examples/AppleScript Studio/. Open any of the projects and look at the code.
Chris,
i’m not offended.
But you script suggests me, the reader, to close my windows and “to go home” with my simple script- construction, which it is.
(my english is not so good, but here is not a language barrier to hinder the understanding)
In second case it’s one of your experiments, it isnt a reponse to my post. Here we go.
Thanks for the compass, regulus6633.
I’ve installed the Xcode tools been for a long time, but all these instruments confuse me still much.
(i hope that i can continue to write apprescript as usual, to introduce myself better into xcode. I use the Script editor every day, its essential for me.)
