Product Description:

By using C.L.A.P. you can have an icon in the Doc for each of your favorite command line apps. Just click on that icon, and the window associated with it will pop to the front, and be ready for work, just like any graphical application. If the window is not already open, it will open for you, and run your CLA inside of it. If the application is minimized, it will expand back to its original place.

C.L.A.P. generated applications are launcher agnostic. So you can use something like LaunchBar (my favorite) to switch directly to any CLA you want, as well as using the Doc.

What's new in this version:

  • Terminal Window launching has been "fixed" to get around a bug in OS X 10.3
  • Added an option to "re-run" terminal applications on window activation
  • Added the ability to run an "idlescript" from the C.L.A.P. generated launcher (advanced feature).

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3 or higher

C.L.A.P. CommentaryNot just a launcher - Version: 1.5, 4/29/2004 04:19PM PST

David A. Cox
The point about using something like launchbar to launch a comand line app is well taken. But C.L.A.P. is not really a launcher. It is made to ease SWITCHING to a command line application, or a pre-configured terminal window. C.L.A.P. is written to help heavy terminal users navigate their standard set of terminal windows more easily.

C.L.A.P. Review?? - Version: 1.5, 4/29/2004 03:25PM PST

You can use LaunchBar to launch any command line tool directly - just add it to your configuration.

C.L.A.P. CommentaryBug in 10.3 - Version: 1.0, 12/10/2003 10:12PM PST

David A. Cox
*SIGH* there is a bug in OS 10.3 that makes C.L.A.P. less useful than it is on earlier OS versions. The bug has been reported to Apple.

The bug is that .term files can not be opened via any method other than from the Terminal "File" menu. C.L.A.P. depends on opening .term files via apple events.

C.L.A.P. will still work in 10.3 to "reactivate" a Terminal window, but the window itself will have to opened by hand from the File menu of Terminal.

It is hoped that an update to the OS will resolve this problem.
