LaunchOnTime CommentaryWhy it requires OS X 10.4 - Version: 1.0.8, 7/25/2007 02:07PM PST

Mark Douma
The main interface of this application is Cocoa and it appears to be written in Objective-C. In one window it provides a calendar-and-clock style "date picker" interface object, similar to what's used in the Date & Time preference pane of System Preferences. This interface object is also known as an "NSDatePicker" object, and Apple first introduced it in OS X 10.4. So, in OS X 10.4 it's extremely easy for a developer to show a calendar, a simple drag and drop in Interface Builder and a few lines of code, and you're set. Prior to OS X 10.4, a developer could spend months trying to create a similar interface themselves. Versions of OS X 10.3 and earlier are unable display these types of objects which are created in later versions of OS X.

LaunchOnTime CommentaryWhy 10.4+? - Version: 1.0.3, 10/20/2006 11:54PM PST

I'll never try this application because it's stated to work only with 10.4+ Why on earth should an application that can be replaced with 2 simple shell commands require 10.4 if these functionality is build into OS X since 10.0????

Just have a look at www.hmug.org/man/1/at.php

I could write a beautifull GUI for these tools in under 15 minutes. and this would work perfekt on every OS version.

I don't want to detract from the Developer's hard work, but one can launch any document at any given time simply by using iCal. Simply create an event in iCal and use the "Alarm" button set to "open File", with the relevant document or application specified.
