AppleScript Studio
Authored by: MadMax on Feb 21, '02 05:33:57AM
I've revised the code and built in AppleScript Studio.

The old "display dialog" of plain AS limit the output to 9-10 items. Now all tasks are listed in a scrollable field.

I've also modified some code to better display task list.

AppleScript Studio

MadMax,

You rock.

I wonder if there's any way to have the window automatically refresh every x seconds?

Now with your template, I should install the damn dev tools so I can change it to be just the way I want.

Didn't I send you a version that did this back on the 7th? (Certainly people have been asking me for it)

Memory Usage Suggestions
Authored by: petey on Feb 21, '02 08:10:59AM

OK, well as long as I'm here, why don't i nitpick about the app? Here's what I'd want.

- User settable refresh rate. default maybe 20 sec?
- Get rid of the decimal points / keep the display cleaner.
- Use an antialiased font for the list.
- If it would reduce the memory or cpu footprint, limit the number of apps shown. I'm most concerned about the 6 - 10 biggest memory hogs anyway. Let the User set the number of apps to be displayed in the List.
- Allow the Window to be reduced further in size vertically. Currently, 14 apps must be shown at minimum, which is more than is necessary for a casual monitor.
- The smaller the window can be made the better, both horizontally and vertically, assuming folks might want to have it always going on their desktop without it being too imposing.

Error in Memory Usage App
Authored by: jonahlee on Jul 01, '02 04:16:48PM

I am running 10.1.5 and am getting an Applescript Error "Can't make ",05" into a number. (-1700) any clue what that means? I had the original applescript running as well, and am getting a similiar error.
