link: Proxi v0.17

In this update:

• Added iSight image extra value
• Added Sound Play task
• Fixed problem with images not obeying justification settings
• Allowed multiply defined Hotkeys and fallback definitions
• Added Auto start at login preference
• Fixed media keys on intel
• Added eject and power Key Presses
• Added contextual menus in trigger / task lists

Most of the additions this time around are pretty self explanatory. But I’ll mention a couple. You can now embed an image from an iSight camera in your triggers (assuming you have an iSight) via the extra values items. Just add an extra value to your trigger then select iSight Image from the popup menu and you’ll have a snapshot from your iSight attached to the trigger values.

Let’s see… the Sound Play task is pretty obvious. The Hotkeys have been re-implemented allowing you to define the same Hotkey in multiple triggers. This might be useful if you want a Hotkey that does one thing when a certain app is active and another if not. The Auto start at login is a shortcut so you don’t have to open System Preferences and add it manually to your Login Items there.

So that’s pretty much it. Hopefully I didn’t put together a broken release (sorry about that last week.. oops) and let me know what you think.

In this update:

• Fixed Hide Dock and Menu Bar preference
• Fixed Hotkey Monitor for Intel based machines
• Fixed a crash that could occur after deleting a Scheduled trigger

A minor update, but one of the biggest complaints has been the inability to remove the Proxi icon from the dock and run the application headless. I’m pretty sure I’ve got it this time… maybe. So anyway, I wanted to go ahead and make this available since it has been at the top of more than one person’s list of things that really need to be addressed.

In this update:

• Enables added to triggers
• Added Open URL task
• View divider positions should now save
• Fixed a rare bug that sometimes caused a crash during redraw

Took a while with this release, I apologize. I added the beginnings of an enable system. For now you can selectively enable or disable individual triggers. In a future release we’ll add a method to store your enable settings in named sets allowing you to rapidly swap in and out groups of triggers. The enables are initially visible, but as it makes the trigger list a little busy you can choose to hide them if you like. Use the configuration popup menu below the trigger list to toggle trigger enable visibility.

I also added a Open URL task which is pretty self explanatory. And also the position of the view dividers should persist between launches of Proxi. Finally, there I fixed a seldom seen bug that would cause Proxi to crash.
