Do you have an idea of Catalog you'd like to write, or is it just an idea ?
-ecaradec (February 20, 2012, 07:28 AM)

Two items I started considering are:

  • OpenWith plugin - a bit like the FARR Akete plugin - show in the third pane candidate applications a user has pre-specified
  • Timers Catalog - this would allow a user to access already-set timers so they might be cancelled or rescheduled

Do you know which language you'd like to use ? C,C++ probably would be first as they'd be the most flexible, but I'm not sure if that would be the best option for most peoples.

I confess that C / C++ / Objective C are languages I have worked hard in the past to avoid -- sometimes writing plugins in C++ / Objective C that enable use of other programming languages instead.

With the popularity of ECMAScript, I think that would be a natural candidate -- not to mention the fact that JScript comes with Windows (so potentially no additional download).  I haven't figured out if it's possible to load a DLL using JScript though.  I'm curious about V8 (and possibly node.js) but I wonder about the potential impact on the size of the host application.

Is there currently a way for a plugin to dynamically generate objects for Qatapult and/or provide Catalog objects?

May be I should handle some sort of notification plugin that would handle everything about notifications so that that could be redirected to any app ?
-ecaradec (February 19, 2012, 07:03 AM)

Sounds like an interesting idea :)

May be you will find the "Handlers" and "Notifications" sections starting on page 32 of the QS manual to be worth investigating.

FWIW, tested Timer successfully with XP Pro SP3 and 7 Pro 64-bit.

I wonder what's not working...perhaps it's worth changing TimeUp to the following to see if it makes any difference:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. TimeUp:
  2. {
  3.   MsgBox, % MessageStr
  5.   Return
  6. }

komtak:

Thanks for testing the new dll and reporting back :)

I have also found that the correction for the problem (2) in my patch, Akete-diff-1.0.1.8-1.0.1.8a.txt, does not work properly.  I am trying to fix it, but the behavior of Windows shortcuts seems rather complicated to me.  (I have to study more...)
-komtak (February 19, 2012, 01:31 AM)

Good luck on this!


FWIW, there was some discussion in the past regarding Akete and folders, but we did not come up with any satisfactory design / idea.

It uses code similar to LargeType -- the message is supposed to show up as "lime" green text in an OSD-like manner.

For:
  • Pane 1: 5
  • Pane 2: Timer
  • Pane 3: (Empty)

I get "Time is up!" after around 5 seconds.

Using dbgview.exe, I get the following output:

shellexecute 'plugins\AHK\AutoHotkey.exe' 'plugins\Timer\Timer.ahk "5" ""' ''
Number of arguments passed in: 2
  TimeStr: 5
  MessageStr: Time is up!
Parsed Seconds Value: 5
Period: 5000

Note that the AHK plugin is a dependency.

Attached should be a very primitive one-off timer plugin.

Usage:

  • Pane 1: A string representing some amount of time in the future (e.g. 10 or 20:05 or 1h5s -- 10 seconds, 20 minutes and 5 seconds, and 1 hour and 5 seconds)
  • Pane 2: Timer
  • Pane 3: Optional text message to display

Using this functionality, I noticed that if I set a timer and then use the Calculate action before the timer has expired, the process for the timer (AutoHotkey.exe) seems to go away so the timer never expires...

BTW, for my local version I'm using the AHK plugin and this contains an appropriate Lib directory.  I don't know if it's helpful for this to be in the top level of Qatapult's directory as it seems to be in the current zip file -- perhaps that is now unnecessary?

I've updated the Window (former winpult-mod) plugin -- should be attached to this post.

This update addresses the problem I was having earlier:

after I press right-arrow and subsequently select a window, pressing TAB doesn't appear to do anything -- I expected the second pane to receive focus, but it is blank.

A few new changes :
- catalogs now have a rule that allows them to be opened with enter
- test is gone (it was in the settings.xml )
- the results pane now won't go further than the right side of Qatapult and center under each position of the cursor

Heres another one i have been using a bit. I'm a bad speller and a fan of having aspell at my fingers everywhere!
-pigeonlips (February 15, 2012, 05:25 PM)

FWIW, the version I downloaded has the following at the end of changetext.ahk:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. ;replace the contents of the clipboard back to what it was
  2.         Clipboard := OldClip
  3. }
  4.  
  5. asdasd

...so it doesn't seem to work.

I've just been compiling my scripts. Not sure if that's a bad thing.
-pigeonlips (February 15, 2012, 05:25 PM)

I'm not sure there aren't some ups to not providing source, but on the side of working with source while in early stages of development or when multiple people work on something:

  • It was nice that you shared the source to winpult -- made it easy to take a look at what you did and also try out some modifications.  On top of that, to test out changes, I didn't have to go through the process of compiling -- that's nice when iterating multiple times, IMHO.
  • If there had been problems, investigation might have been easier than working with a compiled version too as I've found being able to examine and modify source and test the results often helps in such situations.
  • Person A can also suggest to Person B to change a few lines to test something out -- so Person B can actually execute the changes without having to get Person A to actually provide a changed version.
  • In the case of AHK, it's nice that a compilation step is possible, but not required -- easy to get started!

Just my (current) two local currency units -- regarding at least the plugin portion of Qatapult :)

Sorry, was out of town -- hope to catch up soon :)


BTW, I notice in plugin.xml there are (often?) many instances of the path to the folder that plugin.xml lives in.

Any chance we could have some kind of ability to express the path that plugin.xml lives in via a variable or something...Or perhaps the paths in plugin.xml could be relative to the folder plugin.xml lives in, so where we currently have:

Code: Text [Select]
  1. <cmd>plugins\AHK\AutoHotkey.exe</cmd>
  2. <args>plugins\changetext\changetext.ahk $2.text</args>

we might instead have:

Code: Text [Select]
  1. <cmd>..\AHK\AutoHotkey.exe</cmd>
  2. <args>changetext.ahk $2.text</args>

QatapultAHKPluginBuilder - i see now. Returns the results to Qatapult for the calculator!
-pigeonlips (February 15, 2012, 03:57 PM)

I guess that means it is working :)  I have a "Run As AHK" plugin here too, but I'm not sure how useful that is.

At the moment, I think all of the other plugins here use the built AHK plugin (including the locally modified version of winpult).

Some points:

  • Dynamic code execution via AutoHotkey.dll (that's how Calculate works -- the text one types in is executed as AHK via AutoHotkey.dll)
  • A dependency has been introduced here for other AHK-using plugins

a bit of builder detail...
FWIW, the builder downloads HotkeyIt's AutoHotkey (it's basically a modified AHK_L + AutoHotkey.dll), extracts contents and puts those bits and a few others together.  So the builder provides a convenience in not having to manually assemble the AHK plugin yourself and we're not technically redistributing AHK either.

Attached please find a tool to build the AHK plugin I'm using for Qatapult.

Usage:

1. Download file
2. Verify checksum
3. Extract zip file
4. Execute the contained Build.ahk file via AutoHotkey.exe -- when the process completes a dialog box should appear
5. Copy the resulting AHK directory to Qatapult's plugin directory

Progress during 4 can be seen via SysInternals' dbgview.exe.
