MacTF 1.3

[cazlar]

MacTF 1.3 has been released. It has a brand new user interface based around a modifiable toolbar, and is finally multithreaded. A Finnish localization has also been added, and there are also a number of other smaller changes and bugfixes.

Hello Nathan,

thanks, looks really good.

I think you must be a "Mac-Guru".

[macfan]

thanks, looks really good.

In der Tat. Wenn man keinen Film kopieren möchte, hat man jetzt wieder eine gute Alternative zu MPEG Streamclip.

Gruß, Horst

Thank you, Mr Oates, it's marvellous, very Mac-like. Only drawback: After my first try the didn't react to the remote control any longer, but it didn't freeze at my second try.

Bisher hatte mir MacTF nicht so gut gefallen, war etwas holprig in der Bedienung, darum habe ich immer mit MPEG Streamclip gearbeitet. Aber nun ist die Bedienung von MacTF wirklich sehr Mac-like und um Klassen besser als die von MPEG Streamclip:
Drag-and-drop, direktes Ersetzen von TAPs durch neue Versionen ohne Nachfragen, einfaches Löschen ohne x-fache Nervdialoge, Vorschau von Dateien auf dem Topf, wirklich sehr schön. Einziger Wermutstropfen war der oben beschriebene Hänger.

Just to check, did you have turbo on or was it an actual freeze? During turbo mode the remote is disabled (as are timers etc), and in MacTF it is active whenever the green turbo light is on, even if you are not transferring. This works differently to StreamClip where turbo is only on during a transfer, and if I recall correctly it does some nifty stuff like toggling it on the fly during transfers so that your remote codes still get through, so it acts sort of like non-turbo mode anyway. Hopefully I'll be able to add something like this to MacTF in the future.

Yes, turbo was on.

During turbo mode the remote is disabled

Oh, so I know the reason!

(as are timers etc)

That is dangerous! I see that you wrote that in the "read me". (RTFM ops , but you should better give a distinct warning!

Hopefully I'll be able to add something like this to MacTF in the future.

That would be very fine! But nevertheless, your new user interface is really great. I'll use MGEG Streamclip only for converting movies from now on, TAP installation is so much better with the new MacTF 1.3. Thanks!

Greetings, Horst

It is nice to have a preview from the .ini

If you want even easier updating of TAPs, you can do what I do and use applescript. I'm not sure if this is part of my examples, but I definitely posted it at some stage. Save this code in Script Editor as an application, then command-Drag it to your Finder toolbar for access anywhere. Change the upload folder to just ProgramFiles if you want (or make 2!). Then you can just drag any file to the script and it will lauch MacTF, upload and quit.

Code: Alles auswählen

on open my_items
	tell application "MacTF"
		connect
		if result is false then -- no connection available
			error number -128
		end if
	end tell
	
	set the upload_folder to "\\ProgramFiles\\Auto Start\\"
	repeat with counter from 1 to the count of my_items
		tell application "MacTF"
			uploadFile at (item counter of my_items) to (the upload_folder & (item counter of my_items))
		end tell
	end repeat
	
	tell application "MacTF"
		disconnect
		quit
	end tell
	
end open

It seems my little "What's new" script broke the links in firefox (but not Safari or IE). I've disabled them temporarily, so the links should now work.

Jetzt geht's auch bei mir. Gestern war nur "Virtual Remote" anklickbar...
