Folder Action: MisMatch 1.2

Folder Action: MisMatch 1.2 04/14/2004 10:26 PM
Mismatch is a folder action that will search files to see if they contain the MAC.Amphimix [Symantec] virus - Also known as MP3Virus.Gen [Intego], MAC_MP3CONCEPT.A [Trend]. Mismatch will check any files, or files contained inside folders, to see if a file's name-extension corresponds to the file's file type and kind. If it does not meet this criteria, the script asks the user what they want to do - Either quarantine the file or Trash the file.

script for easier zip compression 12/02/2003 01:47 AM
Anonymous: "While Panther's Finder's contextual menu allows Zip compression of files with its 'Create Archive of ...' this still requires bringing up the contextual menu, selecting the option .. and then 'cleaning up' the original file and newly created archive.zip. As Panther has the attached Folder Actions, I figured this could be used to shortcut the process and consolidate the file/archive within one place. Luckily 'Sal from Cupertino' picked up on my query in this regard, and provided the following script to compile with the AppleScript Script Editor."

FunkDaddy: "I wanted to look at the code of an AppleScript in the Scripts Menu. Normally, I would have to do this by navigating to the script in the Finder and opening it in Script Editor. But I took a wild guess and Option-clicked on the script in the menu, and it opened in Script Editor directly! This makes tweaking my frequently-used scripts really easy."

Replacing Perl Scripts with PHP Scripts

Replacing Perl Scripts with PHP Scripts 11/26/2002 05:12 AM
With the introduction of version 4.2, PHP has started supporting a new SAPI (Server Application Programming Interface) called CLI (Command Line Interface). This facility was introduced to help developers create small shell applications (scripts) with PHP. So, now you can kiss Perl goodbye forever. -- Jayesh Jain

Hear hear. Thanks to my influence, other developers at Natsoft are using PHP for their batch scripts too. Hmm maybe it is because they report to me...

Are PDFs all that bad?

Are PDFs all that bad? 10/29/2003 01:15 AM
Jakob Nielsen is Mr. Unequivocal again on his latest alertbox: PDF: Unfit for Human Consumption. Despite that, I'm cautiously optimistic about the promised next column about making PDFs work better. One technique I like is opening PDFs in their own window, using one usability sin to cover another, since users often end up closing the browser window and thus their whole browser when a PDF file is opened. And I don't buy the Adode myth that everyone has the PDF plugin. Having done field usability tests, I've noticed more users than you might expect simply don't have the plug-in. I have no hard numbers, but keep in mind that Internet Explorer has come built into Windows for some time now, while on many computers, PDFs are still a separate download. Try telling a user to go download 8.7 Megabytes over a dialup connection. Another PDF annoyance: on Windows 2000 using roaming profiles, you have to accept the license agreement the first time you open a PDF file each session if that setting isn't saved between sessions. Occasionally, the window asking you to accept the agreement gets lost and appears to crash your browser....

CC metadata in PDFs, images with XMP 02/13/2004 06:42 PM

You can now add Creative Commons license metadata to PDFs and image files, enabled by XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform). XMP is an open, RDF/XML-based format developed by Adobe for managing metadata embedded in files.

Please see information about Creative Commons metadata in XMP, instructions for marking files with Creative Commons metadata for users of Adobe's Creative Suite, and a "custom panel" to enhance viewing of Creative Commons metadata within Adobe apps.

We've also posted a related technology challenge: add XMP and Creative Commons licensing support to open source apps, including Open Office.

I picked up the phone, and the voice at the other end said, "Rob, can you help me with a PDF file? I can't read it." It was my Beverly Hills attorney brother, who had received a 1MB PDF file via his Web-based email client and didn't know how to download it and read it, especially since he had no Acrobot reader installed. After some mutual grumbling about Acrobat being an unnecessary step in the document-reading process, I discovered a fairly painless solution to the whole mess, thanks to a little-known program called pdftohtml.

If you want to connect an Acrobat batch sequence to another program, you have to use platform-specific scripting languages. In Windows, you can use Visual Basic to control Acrobat, and use batch sequences to run operations inside of Acrobat. In MacOS, you would use AppleScript instead of Visual Basic.
