oh ya.. I love easy questions, makes me feel smart

You want to change the xml hot keys to be something like this:




Either add it to the current hotkeys or replace them.

Sweet... Tried it out and voila! Bye, bye 3mb of ram eating MacSound...

I'm curious by the way, is there any way to bind a sound to the VolumeUp and VolumeDown action, for instance, a simple beep to indicate just how loud four bars on the indicator sounds like... Just curious is it can be done...

Again, thanks a million!

[pcm]

Yes it can be done to bind a sound.

I didn't do it, since I needed to find a "good" sound. But you can by just

add the following in the updatedisplay() function.

desklet.MultiMedia('tick.wav',1);

tick.wav is the filename of the wave file, you could use the clock tick, it works

[cysco]

Wonderful!! Thanx a lot!!

[Zxian]

Wow... this thing just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the great work pcm.

[Eiraku]

Woah, nice... Thanks dude...

About the sound thing, what file do i need to modify again? The VBS script or the XML file? And where should i place the "tick.wav" (or whatever else) file? In the desklet directory?

Now i'm starting to sound pushy... Man, sorry dude...

Again, congrats on the creation of one of the most useful avescripter desklet on earth!

[Zxian]

You place the code in the updatedisplay() function in the .js script.

The tick.wav file - I put it in the desklet folder, but I'm guessing that you might be able to put it anywhere listed by PATH. pcm - am I right on this?

[pcm]

yes...

If no path is supplied, avescripter will autofill the path with the resource directory of the desklet. So if you put a hardcoded path it will work. You can also use variable paths, example %MYDOCUMENTS% etc..

[Eiraku]

Sweetness... Thanks people...

Hey PCM thanx for supplying the adding a sound to the desklet code, ive added it and it works a treat. As before it still loads the desklet with avedesk at the start for a split second, since i added the sound code, it also produces the sound aswell when the desklet appears, have u figured out a away i can sort this out?

Anyone interested in a sound to add to the desklet can use this one, its has a cool blip sound ideal for this desklet

I've updated the OSX Volume desklet with the following.

I think I got all the "suggested" features.

1.02

Will not be displayed on startup.
Always popup even if the volume is at 0
When you right click on the desklet (when its visible) it will not fade away, allowing you to select bar or ticks.
Added Sound to it.
Default hotkeys are the multimedia keys.
If you want to do Ctrl Up and Down just edit the xml file and uncomment in the hotkey sections the two other keys.


May the 4th be with you.

[verbalhijacker]

Outstanding PCM, thankyou:)

[pcm]

Np problem.

Also if anyone is getting problems with hotkeys, you might have another software that is binding the hot key. You can just remove all the hotkey reference in the xml code

hi. just updated to 1.02 and the desklet isn't working. here's the log:

[pcm]

Oh... that would mean you don't have the latest version of the avescripter beta.

I added 1 line of code to put the desklet always ontop. you could just comment that line if you don't want to download it.

[shmengie]

ah so...thx. i'll check it out when i get back home.

[Zxian]

I'm running the latest AveScripter Beta (1.0.5.7) and I'm still getting script errors.

Any ideas pcm?

I also tried out the bar setting, and it seems like there's some "tearing" at certain volume levels. I'll try to get a screenshot up later, but has anyone else noticed this?

[pcm]

Yes I know exactly what that is.. That's me being a total @#$@. Sorry about that. I hate it when I do rookie mistakes.

I had started to add something. Then ran out of time and just deleted what I started but forgot to delete 1 line.

I'll be uploading in a few mins a better version. I've delete 1 line of code that wasn't used. You can delete that line too if you want to avoid the download time.

Just delete line 28 as the message states:
Menus(0).SubMenu(3).Checked = Parameters('AlwaysPopup').Value;


if your hearing some tearing or "double" clicks of sound.. make sure its not actually doing 2 updates. IE another software that is also uploading the volume on those same exact hotkeys. And also, (it happened to me, don't laugh ) you don't have 2 osxvolumes that overlap each other exactly and each playing the sound.

[Zxian]

Ok. Sounds good about the coding error.

As for the tearing, I wasn't referring to the sound produced, but the line that was showed in place of the ticks. Bah... girlfriend is calling. I'll post a screenie of what I mean tomorrow....

[pcm]

I used the sound that verbalhijacker gave me.. Didn't want to use same tick sound. I'm hoping to get the sound like osx.
