DescriptionThis little scripty will allow you to actively select any extra you currently have installed* and send it via file transfer to your buddy. We'll hope that your buddy is using adium as well so it will have some meaning for them. This one took me a lot of research and debugging. I think I am finally starting to understand AppleScript! W00T!Currently, it leaves the compressed .zip file on your deskop. there is a line of code in the script file that commented out that will automatically delete the .zip file. but I ran in to some problems with that feature enabled. you may simply delete the desktop file after you are done transfering the file to your friend. Warm fuzzies and happiness go to evands and Hypercube for their excellent help in the forum. *does not work if the xtra name contains an ' READ THE KNOWN ISSUES FOR ADIUM BEFORE YOU GRIPE! Here is the section I refer to: - (AIM / Jabber) File transfers often fail to navigate firewalls and routers - (Yahoo) Files over 1 MB in size fail to send - (AIM) Contacts can get incorrectly tagged as being on an AOL Mobile Device - (AIM) Group Chat : Japanese (and probably other charsets) doesn't get sent properly, but can be received - only with certain default languages. English default language works fine for these charactersets... so the default C encoding must be being used (incorrectly) somewhere in libgaim? - (ICQ) Broken ICQ clients send HTML. Should we try to correct for this? - (All) Gaim's proxy support is unreliable at best That pretty much sums it up for me. Yahoo works under 1 MB and AIM rarely works at all, if ever. However, when these bugs get fixed, in theory I believe this script should ROCK!

Couldn't find any documentation on this, sadly... I'll gladly revise my rating to 5 stars once I figure this out, but as it stands it's kind of annoying to have a script installed that I can't trigger...

[ipi37]: add "tell app "adium" to" to all of your choose from lists and display dialogs. # by ccsgraphic on 05/22/07 at 22:53:13This script was simply not working for me. I did a bit of poking around and found that user dialog interaction didn't work unless they were contained within a "tell" block. I added "tell application 'Adium'" and "end tell" around the choose dialogs to get them to work for me.
Oh, and because of another tip given for an Xtra, I used the "/tmp/" directory instead of the Desktop for storing the files to be transferred as they are out of sight and will be deleted at logoff. I thought I'd share this here as I don't want to repost the script in my own name considering how much work Jay(?) put into it. Post a New CommentYou must be logged in to post comments. |
