Okay there is one last release for today of this tool. In this new release 0.5 there is a bug fixed which was introduced in version 0.3. This bug caused the problem that you did not get any app found as a question. So some apps were added to your profile without asking you.

Also there are some feature improvements:

• You don’t have to edit the script itself any longer to set your username and password. This option is removed by now. Instead the script will ask you for this information.
• The script will not longer ask for already added applications whether you want to add it. Already added applications will be marked as not to add automatically.
• The messages the script passes out while problems occur are now more user-friendly.[/note]

Thanks to Marcus for passing the feature requests to me.
[note]The new version of the script is available using the already known link:

Changelog: GitHub[/note]

Just a hour after the last update there is something new again at this script. The search time is decreased to only a few seconds on my system. Also with this improvement the CPU load has decreased while the search is running. The second improvement made in version 0.4 is to search more directories. This will recognize more applications, widgets and preferencePanes installed on your system.

The new version of the script is available using the already known link:

Script: GitHub
Changelog: GitHub

Today I added support for preference panes to the iUseThis_Profiler. As a second point the progress is displayed while asking the user which applications to add to iUseThis so there is a feedback how many questions will follow.

Additional there is now a changelog for the iUseThis_Profiler available in the GitHub-Repository. The new version of the script is available using the already known link:

Script: GitHub
Changelog: GitHub

Thanks to Andrew Turner there is a new version of the iUseThis_Profiler available. The new version has an improvement to ask the user whether to send an application or not. After collecting the applications and widgets the user is asked to confirm on every application if he wants to send it to his profile. Also he can answer ‘a’ to send all applications and get rid of the ~200 following questions

The script is available at the same place again: GitHub

…für dieses Jahr sind geschrieben. Endlich ist das Drama mit dem Lernen für Klausuren vorbei und morgen ist der letzte Schultag für dieses Jahr. Zumindest bei uns in der Berufsschule ist das der Fall. Dann habe ich noch eine Woche Arbeit vor mir und am 19.12. kann ich um 17:00 Uhr endlich sagen: Ich habe Urlaub!

Ich zähle echt schon die Zeit bis da hin. Endlich mal wieder mehr als eine Woche Urlaub und die Möglichkeit auszuspannen und nichts zu tun. Naja nichts tun wird wohl bei mir nichts so wie ich mich kenne aber zumindest nichts geschäftliches sondern nur ein wenig Hobby-Programmierung an meinen Open-Source-Projekten. Allerdings wohl nicht gleich in der ersten Woche sondern erst später. Irgendwann will ich da ja auch mal ein neues Release fertig bekommen.

Auf jeden Fall möchte ich allen, die über Weihnachten keinen Urlaub bekommen haben – egal warum – mein Beileid aussprechen, obwohl mir ein Kollege vorhin schon sagte: “Das ist doch die beste Zeit zum arbeiten. Kein Telefon, Ruhe im Büro und endlich die Möglichkeit den ganzen liegen gebliebenen Kram abzuarbeiten.”
