This will finally be changed in macOS Tahoe! Can you believe that.
The alert text and the icon are now left-aligned again.
Well I wish they made that dialog wider, but at least Apple restored the most important part. The shameful disgusting centered alignment is no more.
The sad part is that the original code was still in there, but they didn’t put in an option switch or something. I wrote a NSAlert script that can add a variety of accessory views, and while testing if I did something weird like adding a text field with a certain range of characters and five buttons or so, it would revert to the old style. Nothing stable enough to use, but it was there.
You can make the dialog wider by adding an accessory view, but the buttons are still a mess.
The following uses your original gcode sample and my answer in reply #11:
• The script already names the csv file the same as the gcode file, although it adds a “[fields]” suffix. That and a file URL can be added before writing to the csv file by using something like:
set newf to csvFolder & theName & " [fields].csv" -- just save to pre-set folder
set fileURL to ((current application's NSURL's fileURLWithPath:(POSIX path of (imageFolder & theName & ".png")))'s URLByStandardizingPath's absoluteString) as text
set found to {"project_name," & (theName & extension), "image_URL," & fileURL} & found
• By getting the words of an entry like “enable_support = 0” or “nozzle_diameter=0.4”, if the the last word is a number then that word will be the complete number, including the decimal.
• Renaming certain settings can be done in the repeat statement where it is looking for matches to the extractedSettings, for example a property can be set up with a list of lists for the old and new settings:
property settingRenames : {¬
{"adaptive_pressure_advance_model", "APAM"}, ¬
{"machine_start_gcode", "MSG"}} -- {oldName, newName}
Add a handler for the rename:
to renameSetting(setting) -- rename select settings
repeat with anItem in settingRenames
set {old, new} to anItem
if setting is old then return new
end repeat
return missing value
end renameSetting
And call it where the settings are extracted:
tell (text items of setting) to if second item is in extractedSettings then -- check for setting
set candidate to my renameSetting(second item) -- check for rename
if candidate is not missing value then set second item to candidate
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "," -- csv separator
set end of found to (rest of it as text) -- add to found list
end if
You still have a few hundred lines to go to pass my Menubar Timer, but try not to get too carried away.
I tried to refactor the code by adding your example to rename certain results, but I can’t.
Does this only work for the setting name, or also for the setting value? Because it’s the setting value that I want to rename.
For example, “print_compatible_printers = Flashforge Adventurer 5M”; I would like to rename “Flashforge Adventurer 5M” to “AD5M.”
Ah, I thought you were talking about the key, instead of the value. In that case, the settingRenames property can be used for the values that you want to change, for example:
property settingRenames : {¬
{"Flashforge Adventurer 5M", "AD5M"}}
From there, the part where the settings are extracted would be changed to rename the third item:
tell (text items of setting) to if second item is in extractedSettings then -- check for value
set candidate to my renameSetting(third item) -- check for rename
if candidate is not missing value then set third item to candidate
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "," -- csv separator
set end of found to (rest of it as text) -- add to found list
end if
Your example gcode file has the value as “Flashforge Adventurer 5M 0.4 Nozzle”, so the rename handler was changed to:
to renameSetting(setting) -- rename select settings
repeat with anItem in settingRenames
set {old, new} to anItem
if old is in setting then
-- return new -- this statement replaces the entire value
set {tempTID, text item delimiters} to {text item delimiters, old} -- these statements
set {itemList, text item delimiters} to {text items of setting, new} -- only replace the
set {setting, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {itemList as text, tempTID} -- matching portion
return setting
end if
end repeat
return missing value
end renameSetting
This will rename only the matching part of the value (and every occurrence, so watch out for duplicates), but if you want to replace the entire value with the new one, uncomment the return new statement. The following statements up to and including return setting will be skipped, but can be removed if you want.
Would you mind sharing a link to your Github?
@jimmyhartington This project is not yet published, it will be published when I have finished the project and it is viable with all the information on “how to use it”…
Thanks a lot! Work fine now, it’s perfect!
Now I just have to solve the problem of the boolean values that I have to transform into “Yes” & “No”, and then the project will be completely finished on the code side.
If a string or number evaluates to a 0 or 1, you can do something like:
set bool to "1" -- true or false also works
set this to item ((bool as integer) + 1) of {"no", "yes"}
Thank you,
I guess it should be placed in this block : 
# extract settings in config block
set found to {}
repeat with setting in paragraphs 2 thru -2 of (findSubstring of input from "; CONFIG_BLOCK_START" to "; CONFIG_BLOCK_END")
set text item delimiters to {"; ", " = "} -- bits to exclude
tell (text items of setting) to if second item is in extractedSettings then -- check for settings
set candidate to my renameSetting(third item) -- check for rename
if candidate is not missing value then set third item to candidate
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "," -- csv separator
set end of found to (rest of it as text) -- add if setting is in extracted list
end if
end repeat
Yes, it would be when checking for an extracted setting value to rename. If a value wasn’t renamed (no match in the settingRenames list), then check for a binary value, so something like:
tell (text items of setting) to if second item is in extractedSettings then -- check for extracted setting
set candidate to my renameSetting(third item) -- check for value to rename
if candidate is not missing value then -- text value
set third item to candidate
else -- binary value
try -- skip if it doesn't evaluate to 0 or 1
set third item to item ((third item as integer) + 1) of {"no", "yes"}
end try
end if
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "," -- csv separator
set end of found to (rest of it as text) -- add to found list
end if
It works perfectly but as I suspected, when a value contains a “0” like for example “nozzle_diameter = 0.4”, it turns into “nozzle_diameter = no”.
OK, this specifically looks for a value of “0” or “1”:
if candidate is not missing value then -- text value
set third item to candidate
else -- binary value (only "0" or "1")
if third item is in {"0", "1"} then set third item to item ((third item as integer) + 1) of {"no", "yes"}
end if
Thanks a lot! Work like a charm!
Now, I’m concentrate to the Illustrator Template. By the way, on this subject, do you think I can automate the task with Illustrator using AppleScript?
There are a few topics with the Illustrator tag, but I’ve never used it.
Ok, thank you! I’ll do my research on the subject. 
Thank you so much for all your time and help! Remember, if you need any graphic works (avatar, ads, icons, etc.), I’m here for you!
