This is the aeTerminology suite. Created by Thomas A. Creedon <icr...@ya...>. Based on the DuckTape Tool v0.5 by Sean Elfstrom < sel...@im... >. This is a potential replacement for the commercial Suite. The aeTerminology Suite imports AppleEvent Terminology Extension information. Abstract Here is my take on the aeTerminology Suite. Try it out. Make sure you back everything up! This should be considered development stage software. I ended up digging in a bit! :-) This is by no means perfect! I hope that folks will find it a good starting point to work from. If something is broken fix it! :-) If you don't like how I've laid things out, lets work with the community to figure out how to make it better. aeTerminology is available on SourceForge if you want to work with the community on making it better. It is on a branch called "commercial_suite_project-branch". Please see the Frontier Kernel Project CVS webpage < http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=120666 > for more information on how to access this project. It is beyond the scope of this document to explain how to use CVS and SourceForge.

Load an osax into a table at system.extensions. This is an example command to show how aeTerminology can be used by other scripts to import AETE information and have it end up where ever the script writer wants it to go. There currently seems to be a bug in the kernel that prevents the user from being able to open file packages such as newer style OS X osaxen with the open dialog even though osax has been specified as a file type. As a workaround you can hold down the shift key when selecting this command shich will then allow you to select any file. Navigate carefully! Read Me This outline!

Here is an example, when I tried creating a table for Mail.app named Mail, it conflicted with suites.mail. I put a check and warning in to notify the user of this kind of situation. Aug 8 initial version Notes In the data table for the Suite I have a table named DuckTapeRootLeftovers, which contains left overs from Sean's DuckTape Tool. In addition there is a table named commercialSuiteReference, which is a reference copy of the current version of the commercial suite as it exists on SourceForge at this time (Aug 8 2005), just in case you've modified your local copy. Instructions for Read Me.txt file How To Install Please make backups! This software should be considered development stage! Quit Frontier if it is running. Replace your Froniter application with the included version 10.1a3 if you are not already running v10.1a3 or newer. Launch Frontier. Double-click on each of the files in the Replacement Verbs folder. Please note that the replacment rez verbs requires Mac OS X Frontier v10.1a3 or newer. You may want to export your rez table for safe keeping, if you plan to revert to a previous state. Optional. In the Extras folder you will find DropStuff/StuffitExpander.ftds. These are Desktop Script Installers that were created using the aeTerminology Suite and contain apps table items. Please see aeTerminology.readMe for more information. Notes builtins.rez is a new rez verbs table that is compatible with Frontier v10.1a3 and allows the scripter to access resources that are in the data fork of a file fatPages.getFileData is a replacement verb that fixes a bug when importing information, make sure the table path exists. file.creator/type are replacement verbs that attempt to deal with Mac OS X packages and osax. \ No newline at end of file --- 1,3 ---- FrontierVcsFile:1:optx:suites.aeTerminology.readMe !

Instructions for Read Me.txt file How To Install NOTE: This version of aeTerminology requires Frontier v10.1a5 and a Frontier.root file created from the SourceForge CVS repository on or after Nov 11TH 2005. Please make backups! This software should be considered development stage! Quit any versions of Frontier you have running. Open the Frontier folder in the aeTerminology Suite folder. Launch Frontier v10.1a5. This is a virgin Frontier.root so you should be asked to go through the normal setup process. If you just want to test the aeTerminology Suite then you shoudn't have to complete the setup process. Optional. In the Extras folder you will find DropStuff/StuffitExpander.ftds. These are Desktop Script Installers that were created using the aeTerminology Suite and contain apps table items. Please see aeTerminology.readMe for more information. \ No newline at end of file |
