During October 2006, Mr. CodeBoy migrated from plain AppleScript to generating miniature applications using the AppleScript Studio module of XCode. Many of these mini-apps are still relevant, and are all here.
For a few project ideas, Mr. CodeBoy could not devise efficient code within the confines of AppleScript, or the execution was just too darn slow. As a result, he earnestly pointed his energies toward learning Objective-C and Cocoa in March of 2008.
Ward leaders within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have a heavy task keeping up with all the individual members of their congregations. Since worship services involve all members, it can become burdensome to keep track of who has participated most recently, and who still needs an opportunity to do so. iClerk simplifies the tracking of which members have prayed or spoken during Sacrament meeting, and keeps the data in an SQLite database. Leaders need to simply access the membership.csv file from the ward computer to keep the database current. Reports can be generated as often as necessary. The disk image contains all the various programs and information needed to use this utility immediately.
iClerk is a Cocoa application, and needs no particular plug-ins or third party software to function. Minimal installation is necessary and is explained in the documentation.
Not all schools are created equally, and therefore, neither are their calendars. Even families whose children are in the same school district can have different dates for early dismissal days, vacation dates, etc., depending on the school. iCal School Dates helps to simplify the creation of an iCal calendar for each school, or person, whatever you wish. The interface is intuitive, and there is a help file.
iCal School Dates is an AppleScript Studio application, created in XCode. It will download as .zip file. Once expanded (simply double-click), dropping it into your Applications Folder will complete the installation.
iPhoto continues to evolve as a tremendous application to organize and edit digital images. One thing it continues to lack, however, is the opportunity for the user to sort images by file size. Although not necessary every single day, this can come in handy from time to time.
iPhotos By Size is an AppleScript Studio application, created in XCode. It will download as .zip file. Once expanded (simply double-click), dropping it into your Applications Folder will complete the installation.
Since this is AppleScript-based, be patient; on large libraries, you may need to go make a sandwich while you are waiting for it to complete the analysis.
Many organizations and private individuals provide iCal calendars to download. In a number of cases, there are more events than you need, or want. iCal Filter allows you to select the events you want and ONLY import those into the calendar of your choice.
iCal Filter is an AppleScript Studio application, created in XCode. It will download as .zip file. Once expanded (simply double-click), dropping it into your Applications Folder will complete the installation.
There is no Help section, nor are there any instructions. Mr. CodeBoy whipped this app up in about 45 minutes to filter the events of a single calendar. If you have any difficulties, or questions about this project, please contact him any time; you are guaranteed a response.
