Comment on Ultimate proof that the Finder is now a Cocoa application by Philippe Mougin

Hi Cesar,

You can inject F-Script into the new Quicktime player (it tends to make it somewhat prone to crash, for some reason…) and then manipulate it with F-Script.
You’ll have to try and find out if what you want to achieve is doable.

Hi, there! woooww!
Is it possible change the new toolbar of the new QT player in SL with F-Script object browser as you changed the colors of the finder?

thanks in advance!

[...] Philippe Mougin uses F-Script 2.0’s object browser to inspect the new Cocoa Finder. [...]

Comment on Switching in F-Script by Doug Ransom

My POV has always been (i.e. for about 25 years) that switch syntax in most languages is a workaround for languages that don’t have code blocks or something similar.

i think double dispatching should be the way to go, instead of using too many ifTrue:ifFalse:’s or even dictionaries with blocks

@Dave

Yeah, I couldn’t malloc to save my butt… if that’s the best rebuttal you have your pretty lame. I’ve work with many many languages/scripts/etc (basic, c/c++, java, C#, python, objc, squirrel, lua, psql/tsql, etc) and many platforms (dos, windows, mac, linux, unix, iphone, embedded, etc ) and by far, the slowest development platform is ObjC. Because, 1) the language is not intuitive, 2) the main IDE (Xcode) is subpar for debugging & developing, 3) errors happens mainly at runtime.

Not sure what your argument is about COM. Sure, COM was before .net, and a lot of .net and windows still deal with COM. I don’t think COM is nice, but it is still used for many of Windows components. And wtf about pinvoking? Not sure where that ties in at all in this conversation. Pinvoke is useful, just like Java’s JNI is useful – or any other C linkage interop.

Comment on F-Script anywhere on Snowie by Philippe Mougin

Jay,

Thanks for the pointer. Snow Leopard is somewhat redefining the injection scene. F-Script Anywhere might someday reappear based on one of these new approaches. In the meantime, we have the gdb injection workaround, which works well.

Philippe,

Kevin Ballard has done some spelunking into how 1Password may be loading its extension into Safari on Snow Leopard. I’m wondering if this or a similar technique might be a suitable mechanism for enabling F-Script Anywhere on arbitrary Cocoa apps.

Take a look at http://kevin.sb.org/2009/09/02/1password-extension-loading-in-snow-leopard/

The new Snow Leopard lets you create your own services VERY easily. If you’d like to get the couple I made so far just email me at:
j-m15(at)hotmail(dot)com and I’d be glad to send them to any and all Snow Leopard users, free of charge!
