Fast thinking

English:

Well this is an utility that I made yesterday when here at lifehacker I was introduced to an app that let’s you create folders with a hotkey combination. I tried the app but I was out of luck because it only runs on 2k/XP/2k3 the problem is because I run Vista so no easy creation of folders to me.

After reading the comments thread I decided to do some fast app to allow me to do that and that this app runs in all windows versions.

I went for the task with AutoIt v3.

The app is HERE TO DOWNLOAD

What does this app does, it simply expects you to call the Hotkeys and then launches a dialog box asking for the new folders name, after that it looks where are you, if you are on an explorer window it gets the address of that window and then it uses that address to create the folder there. If no address is found it creates the folder on your Desktop.

Español:

Bueno esta es un utilitario que hice ayer luego de ser introducido aqui por lifehacker a una aplicación que te permite crear folders con una simple combinación de teclas. Descarge el programa lo corri solo para darme cuenta que no corria mas que en XP/2K y 2003 y pues como mi laptop es Vista, no corrio.

Luego de leer los comentarios me decidí a hacer una version que corriera en todas las versiones de Windows asi que decidí hacerlo en AutoIt v3.

La aplicación esta acá para DESCARGAR

Lo que hace esta applicación es que espera a que se presione la combinación de teclas para lanzar un cuadro de dialogo que pregunta por el nombre del nuevo folder que se desea crear. Luego ve en donde estás, si estas en una ventana de Explorador de Windows o no, si estas en una ventana busca la dirección actual de la ventana para crear ahí la nueva carpeta, si no estas en una ventana de Explorador de Windows simplemente crea la carpeta en tu Escritorio.

Well long time since the last news of iTuny, so here we are with some minor changes and some fixes to the installer.

First the new additions:

• Albumart display ( iTunes album )
• Track Info with Albumart (iTunes info)

The installer got some issues with the place it put the links in some machines (kindda weird) but not it’s fixed. I Hope to got this version out before Christmas. :D

As i said before, this is on the works and the shots are just previews.
Your comments are welcomed.

Have a nice day and i hope you could get your hands on 0.4 before christmas :D

Well here you have the latest version of iTuny, the Launchy companion to control iTunes.

This versions comes with a lot of improvements and some bug fixes, but this release took another approach, it returned to amadawn’s original AutoIt version.

I had to almost rewrite the entire plugin from scratch, add all the vbScript features and some extras to deliver this little monster. :)

This version comes with:

Fixed Bugs:

• Prev Bug fixed

New Features:

• Installation GUI (Beta)
• Create Playlists
• Add current song to a Playlist

Older Features (but new to Amadawn’s version):

• Search Songs
• Rate Songs
• More Info from the current song, including Rate, Play Count, Song Length
• Toggle MiniPlayer
• Toggle Visualizations
• Toggle EQ Window
• Search a playlist

To install just dobleclick the iTunes Control EXE and the Install GUI will appear, choose your locations and press install.

I’m still having issues on Vista running the exe and installing the links, so if you are using Windows Vista install the controller and links in another location outside “Program Files”.

I’m working in displaying the albumart on a splash screen to make the info more eyecandy.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Well, i’ve finished the last bug fixes and new features added to iTuny.

What is iTuny?? iTuny is a vbscript that allows you control iTunes from any interface that permits sending parameters to the script. This script is actually thought for launchy, so the main idea is to control iTunes from Launchy.

So what’s new on this release??

• Added the playlist focus function, this works like this:
  iTuny | pl “Name of the playlist” (if the playlist has a name with spaces)
  iTuny | pl Nameoftheplaylist (if the name has no spaces)
• New references in the help function, so it’s easy to get the commands list.

What’s fixed??

• The Show and Hide function had a bug where if you call the eq window and then hide it and call the show function the eq appear instead of the main iTunes window.

What is Launchy?? Launchy is an App launcher, but not just another app launcher, is a lightweight, fast, multifunctional app launcher, it can launch applications, open files, launch mp3’s, search the web, create gcal entries, create todoist entries, and much more.

With this first release of the script, you can do this:

• Play, Pause, Stop, Next, Prev a song
• Rate a song
• See the Track info without leaving what are you doing
• Change the Volume level on iTunes
• Toggle the MiniPlayer
• Toggle the Visualization window
• Toggle the EQ Window
• Quite iTunes

These are some usefull things that make my life with iTunes much more easy to handle.
Hope you like it.
