iNotify v0.04
link: iNotify v0.04
This update adds:
- PowerMate / AirClick gained “Fallback” functionality
- Insert Trigger/Task menus
- Value tokens now show font, color changes
- Can close/reopen main window allowing iNotify to run quasi headless
After watching J and Dave struggle with the application of fonts and colors to value tokens, I realized that fixing the loss of font settings and more importantly offering some degree of WYSIWYG to the Screen Message (and other views that use value tokens) was extremely important. The results are pretty good I think.
Don wasn’t too keen on going back and forth between the main window and the component palette and so I finally got around to offering the ability to insert triggers and tasks from the popup menus beneath each list. He also suggested maybe the palette automatically switch from triggers to tasks after dragging a trigger to the main window… It makes sense, but I think some users might wonder why the palette decided to switch all by itself. Perhaps a preference?
Finally, I added a checkbox to PowerMate and AirClick triggers called Fallback (it was called Contingent but I think Fallback might be easier to understand). A fallback trigger is one that will only execute if no other trigger executes for a given event. For example, you might want the PowerMate left/right triggers to adjust the system volume unless iTunes is the foreground app in which case it should adjust iTunes volume. To do this, define the left/right triggers to adjust the system volume and mark them as fallback triggers. Then define another set of PowerMate triggers which only executes if iTunes is the active application (extra values and filter here).
I also added a date / time hotkey trigger that I happen to like. It’s in the usual location: http://www.somegeekintn.com/area51/software/pkg/
