A to G 1.3.4 (Mac OS X)
Very useful app (even without an icon!). The developer fixed 2 bugs I identified within a day or two of each one. Very nice! [alert admin]

Hoo WinTail Lite 3.4 build 667 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)
Neither the download link nor the developer's site has any mention of this "Lite" version. This is a $50 shareware program. [alert admin]

Anything2PDF 2.0 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)
During the installation, this SW tells you that it's going to install some "Save" ad-ware program. Kudos to the developers for actually *admitting* they're going to install ad-ware, but I prefer freeware that's truly free. CuteWriter is available, too, but since it requires the complete Ghostscript PostScript package (for ps2pdf conversion), I can't believe CuteWriter is anything other than just a simple PS driver. Try go2pdf - it works for me. [alert admin]

KeyViewer 1.4 (Mac OS X)
Solution for those who can't launch this
Saw this on another website, and it worked for me, so I thought I'd post it here. When I first tried to launch this, it just bounced once in the Dock and then disappeared. No errors, no nothing. Dive into the package contents and turn on "execute" permission on KeyViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/applet. Hope that helps some more people! [alert admin]

XEmacs Wrapper 1.04 (Mac OS X)
I just posted a reply to Edwin-schemer's bug report. I now see that there are multiple copies of my comments. I can also see that some of the previous comments for this SW are being duplicated many times.
I have no idea why the same Comments are showing up multiple times here, but I have notified VersionTracker. Hopefully they can fix it...

Please submit a help request via email
AlienBenefactor, could you please email me so I could help debug your problem? You can get my email address on my webpage (not duplicated here to cut down on spam). Thanks, hypert [alert admin]

iTMS Extractor 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Don't use an apostrophe in the filename!
In both the iTMS Extractor SW and the AppleScript submitted earlier, use of an apostrophe (a single-quote) in the filename causes an error. With iTMS Extractor, the error is silent, and unless you were watching, you don't realize that the file wasn't saved to your chosen location. The AppleScript at least gives an error. (Great job on the script, BTW!)
Here's an update to the script to catch apostrophes more gracefully:
set originalFile to do shell script "lsof | grep -i QTP | grep iTunes | head -1 | awk '{ print $9 }'"
set goodName to false
repeat until goodName
if length of originalFile is greater than 0 then
set newFile to POSIX path of (choose file name with prompt "Save movie as:" default name "iTunes Video.mov")
if newFile contains "'" then
display dialog "The filename you entered contained an apostrophe.
Please enter a name without an apostrophe."
else
set goodName to true
if length of newFile is greater than 0 then
if newFile does not end with ".mov" then set newFile to newFile & ".mov"
do shell script "cp -v '" & originalFile & "' '" & newFile & "'"
end if
end if
else
display dialog "No movie found." buttons default button "OK"
end if
end repeat
With this in mind, iTMS Extractor is fine to use for folks afraid of scripts. But, do yourself a favor and try the script out, too! [alert admin]

iTCover 0.3 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)
I'd like to thank the develop for working on this. I love adding iTunes helper apps However, this is horribly slow. It can take 20-30 seconds to load artwork that isn't cached on their server, and it can't find things it should be able to (like Sheryl Crow's popular "C'mon C'mon"). More glaring, though, is the fact that iTCover isn't querying iTunes itself for the artwork! The iTunes COM model supports this - I can post the VB code here is someone wants it - it only takes a few lines. For something better right now, try the free Kapsules environment (http://kapsules.shellscape.org) with the iTunes widget (http://kapsules.shellscape.org/widget.asp?id=65). I'd encourage Tim to keep developing iTCover and consider some new features (make always-on-top an option, get artwork from iTunes if it exists, etc.) [alert admin]

GetArtwork 1.4.1 (Mac OS X)
AppleScript fix for QT problem
Spent all night on this, and found a kludgey way to get QT to accept the Copy command - use MacOS X 10.3 GUI Scripting! I can't get this script to actually find matching albums/images at AMG, but if it could the following changes should work. It works in iTunes Companion, and the underlying Applescript code is almost identical between the two. In the "tell application QuickTime Player" block, delete the 2 lines after "getURL theImage'. After the "end tell" (for QT), insert these lines: tell application "System Events" tell process "QuickTime Player" click menu item "Copy" of menu "Edit" of menu bar item "Edit" of menu bar 1 click menu item "Close" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1 end tell end tell That's GUI script for picking Copy from the Edit menu! Simple, huh? It does require OS 10.3 and for you to check "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access pref-pane (see http://www.apple.com/applescript/uiscripting/ for more info). The only other thing I had to do in iTunes Companion (and probably in here too) is change the line "set theImageData to picture of (the clipboard)" to "set theImageData to the clipboard". Works for me! I was banging my head against the wall with this -9995 error, but this has fixed it. :-) [alert admin]

GetArtwork 1.4.1 (Mac OS X)
I have not tried this script yet. However, I get the same error using code from the iTunes Companion widget for Konfabulator. A lookup of that error code says "Editing not allowed". I wonder if QT thinks the script is trying to "edit" the image when the "copy movie 1" line is run. Anyone know a way around this? QT Pro might not have this problem, since it probably does allow editing. Can the developer comment if this was tested w/ QT or QT Pro? Any non-Pro users get this to work? BTW, the Copy command from the Edit menu works if I select it manually. I can then Paste the artwork into iTunes. I'm using QT 6.5.1 and iTunes 4.5. [alert admin]

You shouldn't have needed to edit the script, though, since /sw/bin is explicitly added to the search path. Therefore, when the "cmd" (xemacs) is run, the shell will find the first occurence of xemacs on your search path ($PATH).
Did it really not work for you "as is"? Do you have an xemacs in other directories? The only other places the script should look is /usr/bin, /bin, /usr/sbin, /sbin, and /usr/local/bin.
If I need…

Thanks! I've incorporated using "open -a X11" into version 1.05. If you look in the script bundled inside the XEmacs Wrapper package, you'll that mine is a little more complex. One "hidden" feature of my script is that it can also be used stand-alone (not inside this Platypus-created package). If you call this script directly from the Terminal, it's still a convenient way to bring X11 to the front and open…

Your wrapper start X11, but fails to launch xemacs
Here's how to see the source code:
- Right-click on XEmacs Wrapper and choose Show Package Contents
- Open the Contents folder
- Open the Resources folder
- Open the file "script" in your favorite text editor (probably XEmacs!)
