Re: [Cocoadialog-users] Bourne Shell Script Equivalent to Perl Script Sample for CocoaDialog Dropdown

[Mark A. S. <ma...@sp...>]

There isn't such a flag. But if we look at this example: 
http://cocoadialog.sourceforge.net/examples/fileselect.sh.txt
there's a 'while' loop in there that iterates over every line of $rv, 
each containing a file path.  It would be trivial to add a counter 
variable in there to count the number of files.

Surely there's some sort of shell trick to count the number of 
newline-separated entries in $rv if you don't want to loop over it.  I'm 
not much of a shell coder though, so unfortunately I can't tell you how 
to do this (or confirm that it's definitely possible).

In case it helps, in Perl you can just do: scalar( split /\n/, $rv );
to get the number of files listed in $rv (a return value from cocoadialog).

Re: [Cocoadialog-users] Bourne Shell Script Equivalent to Perl Script Sample for CocoaDialog Dropdown

[Thomas P. <tp...@gm...>]

Is there a way to return the number of files selected when using the
filselect cocoadialog with --select-multiple option enabled?  This would be
quite convenient and I am wondering if there is a flag to return this value
as perhaps the first return variable followed by all of the file paths
thereafter?

Thanks,

Thomas

Hello CocoaDialog Users:

I am trying to integrate CocoaDialog with some drag and drop run
applications that I am building with Platypus.  I saw one of the Cocoa
dialog that would be quite useful for such a purpose, the dropdown.  I am
however using Bourne shell script to build these little applications rather
than Perl.  Is there an example of a Bourne shell script equivalent to the
perl scrip example provided?

http://cocoadialog.sourceforge.net/examples/dropdown.pl.txt

I would be appreciative of any assistance towards this end.

You need to play around a little.  There are examples provided of  
using CocoaDialog with shell scripts.  Take these, along with the  
documentation for the dropdown function and put together a shell  
script and test it out.

I tossed together the following script that duplicates the function of  
the Perl script that provides a dropdown menu.  Use it as an example.

#!/bin/sh

CD="/Applications/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaDialog"

result=`$CD dropdown \
        --title "Preferred OS" \
        --no-newline \
        --items "Mac OS X"  "GNU/Linux" "Windows" \
        --button1 'That one!' \
        --button2 Nevermind`

return=`echo $result | awk '{print $1}'`
answer=`echo $result | awk '{print $2}'`

if [ $return -eq 1 ]; then
  echo "Answer: $answer"
fi
if [ $return -eq 2 ]; then
  echo "Nevermind"
fi

Please note, I make NO claims that this is a "good" script, nor do I  
like using "awk" in this manner, but it does seem to work.

Hello Bill:

Thank you very much for the Bourne shell script code and concept.  I agree
that it is not necessarily the most elegant approach but the combination of
--no-newline and the awk '{print $X}' code reliably script out the multiple
variables passed back by CocoaDialog.  I have made it work quite well for my
application, wherein I was only really interested in the second variable.

The "--no-newline" really isn't necessary.  I originally included it  
because the original Perl script had it there.  I am using "cut" to  
parse the output rather than "awk".

My complaint with using "awk" is that it is a fairly heavy handed  
approach to a problem.  It is great when you need to do a lot of  
processing of the input but has a tremendous amount of overhead to use  
when the processing is quite simple.

I'm actually very impressed to see that someone is USING this mailing

with CocoaDialog, which I'm glad to see isn't totally correct.

Re: [Cocoadialog-users] Bourne Shell Script Equivalent to Perl Script Sample for CocoaDialog Dropdown

[Thomas P. <tp...@gm...>]

Hello Bill:

Thanks again for the alternate approach.  I see how cut may be much faster
and more lightweight and fast solution.  I just made a syntax error when
trying to implement it last time.  My project is integrating CocoaDialog and
Platypus to create a simple drag and drop run application with the ability
to take graphical user input.  At this point, I am not 100% sure that the
users want so I am just playing with the basics.  You might wan to mention
the synergy between CocoaDialog and Platypus (both are open source) as it
has worked out well for me and might for others as well.

Thanks again for the help.   Once you get the details down, CocoaDialog is a
very simple way to add graphical input to such drag and drop application as
those that I am making.

Cheers,

Thomas

[Cocoadialog-users] Bourne Shell Script Equivalent to Perl Script Sample for CocoaDialog Dropdown

[Cocoadialog-users] Countdown in inputbox

[Manuel D. <man...@pr...>]

I made an inputbox dialog that has a --timeout of 30 seconds, how can I have that timeout countdown in the dialog window?

My --informative text in the dialog window shows "this mac will launch a maintenance routine in 30 seconds", can I update that text so that the number of seconds counts down?

Thanks for you great app

Re: [Cocoadialog-users] Using PHP with Cocoadialog

[Mark A. S. <ma...@sp...>]

Cocoadialog doesn't tie directly with any particular programming  
languages.  It's just a command-line application, so you can run it  
from any application or script with system calls.

Example:
system("/bin/cocoadialog ok-msgbox --text 'Hello, world.'");

$rv = `/bin/cocoadialog ok-msgbox --text 'blah' --string-output`;
echo "User pressed " . $rv;


Hope this helps.

[Cocoadialog-users] Using PHP with Cocoadialog

[Leon L. <leo...@gm...>]

Hello everyone!
Is that possible to use PHP (and Platypus) with Cocoadialog?
If so, where can I get some more information and see some examples on that?
Thanks.

Re: [Cocoadialog-users] Perl?

[Mark A. S. <ma...@sp...>]

Hi Angelo,

That's definitely not a problem with CocoaDialog.
What you need to do is diagnose and fix the script that's being =20
executed by your software, or contact the author of that software.

To save you the hassle of doing so in case it's something simple ... =20
if the error you are getting is "bad interpreter: No such file or =20
directory", then edit the first line of the script to correctly point =20=

to your installation of perl (run 'which perl' at the command line =20
(sans quotes) to find out where it is.  It should be /usr/bin/perl)

Otherwise, like i said, try contacting the author of the software.
Alternatively, paste the exact errors you're getting and *maybe* i =20
can help.

[Cocoadialog-users] Perl?

[<aac...@co...>]

Hello list

I'm trying to use a software that depends on CocoaDialog, but it  
complains that Perl isn't installed. But Perl is correctly installed  
and working. I tried to search the list archives, but the server is  
down for maintenance, since this question must have already been  
posted. I need a help urgently.
Thanx

Angelo

It's been a while, but I just wanted to let you know that the newest =20
release should fix any issues you had with button resizing.
You can download it at http://cocoadialog.sourceforge.net/download.html

Thanks,
Mark

[Mark A. S. <ma...@sp...>]

I know it's been a long time since you wrote this, but I wanted to  
let you know that the newest release, 2.0.0 has support for secure  
inputboxes.

http://cocoadialog.sourceforge.net/download.html

Thanks for the feedback.

Re: [Cocoadialog-users] Cut-off text in popup mode

[Mark A. S. <ma...@sp...>]

Unfortunately, there is no good way to easily resize the buttons=20
intelligently without hacking at the code.  I have it on the TODO list,=20=

but have not yet gotten around to it.

The buttons won't resize properly according to their labels for any of=20=

the dialogs (not just the dropdown).  They just resize themselves=20
proportional to the size of the window.

Two quick and easy (although ugly and definitely not the "right" way to=20=

do it) solutions are:
* run it with a --width option, using a value that makes it wide enough=20=

to accommodate the text in that particular dialog.  The problem with=20
this, though, is that it will look strangely wide and won't be=20
proportional.
* Or, edit the .nib file to make the buttons wider.  This will make the=20=

dialogs with smaller labels look bad.

Sorry I don't have a better answer yet.

[Cocoadialog-users] Cut-off text in popup mode

[Aaron Madlon-K. <am...@ma...>]

Hello.  I use CocoaDialog in an app of mine called iPodBackup=20
(http://www.amake.us/software/ipodbackup.html).  It's been working very=20=

well for me for quite a while, but I recently came across a small=20
problem.

I tried using the dropdown mode for the first time, and I found that=20
the buttons do not resize properly to fit the text.  For an example,=20
see this screenshot:
http://www.amake.us/misc/cutoff.png
The full text of the leftmost button is "=E3=82=AD=E3=83=A3=E3=83=B3=E3=82=
=BB=E3=83=AB".  It doesn't seem to=20
have anything to do with the fact that the text is Japanese.  I use=20
Japanese text in other modes and it always resizes correctly, and it=20
will cut off English text in the same way in dropdown mode.

If there's anything you can think of that I can do on my end to fix=20
this, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks,
Aaron Madlon-Kay=

Not currently, sorry.  It's been on the todo list for a while.  The 
next release of CD will have it though.
If you absolutely need it now, check out the patch (go to 
sf.net/projects/cocoadialog/) that was recently submitted.  I believe 
that was one of the changes that was implemented (the next release will 
basically consist of most/some of the changes in that patch, as well as 
a bug fix).

Bitchin'.  This is exactly what I was looking for. 
Thanks Mark!

One other question for you...

If I'm working with a standard-inputbox, and I want
the entry field to be a password, is there anyway in
CocoaDialog to make the user entry scrambled (so it
just shows a black filled-in circle on the input line
each time the user presses a key)?
