Subject: [Rubyosa-discuss] Speeding up this rbosa script?
Message-ID: <57518fd10712040300j60302c3cwee8a3c3962066537@mail.gmail.com>

Heya,
I wrote an rbosa script that jumps between my test files and 'real'
files in Xcode - eg hitting ??? to jump between Scheduler.m and
SchedulerTests.m and back again.

Which works nicely, but it's slower than I'd like, taking maybe 0.5
seconds to jump to the other file.  Doesn't sound like much, but it's
enough time to start wondering whether it's going to switch or not...

--

#! /usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'rbosa'

app = OSA.app('Xcode')

selected_window = app.windows.first
file = selected_window.associated_file_name
dir = File.dirname(file)
counterpart_file = nil

if (file =~ /Tests?\./)   #looks like a test file, strip out 'Test'
and look for the real counterpart
 counterpart_file = file.gsub(/Tests?\./, '.')
else # OK, it's a real source file.  Try and find the test counterpart
 ext = File.extname(file)
 basename = file.sub(/#{Regexp.quote(ext)}$/, '')
 counterpart_file = basename+'Test'+ext
 counterpart_file = basename+'Tests'+ext unless
File.exists?(counterpart_file)    #allow 'Test' or 'Tests' suffix
end

if File.exists?(counterpart_file)
 app.open(counterpart_file)
else
 app.merge('StandardAdditions').beep
end

Is there anything I can do that might make this a bit more snappy?
I'm on 10.5.1, and have libxml installed.

Cheers,
Jonathan del Strother

Just for anyone else following this, I ended up switching to
rb-appscript.  Which is actually impressively quick in comparison -
the original code took 0.5s with rbosa, and 0.3s with appscript.
rb-appscript also has a nifty Terminology.dump method which dumps the
parsed osa gubbins to a file, shaving a further 0.1s off, making
things 2.5x faster!

Message-ID: <DFFC677C-5FB6-4E2C-9465-CE5FEE37DFB5@gmail.com>

Hi,

I'm scoping out RubyOSA for automating Word 2008 when it is released.  
I'm testing Word 2004 on an iMac G5.

$ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [powerpc-darwin8.11.0]
$gem list rubyosa
rubyosa (0.4.0)

Word is open and a document loaded. I can't get an application  
reference to Microsoft Word.

With
app = OSA.app('Microsoft Word')  or
app = OSA.app(:path => '/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Microsoft  
Word.app') I get

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubyosa-0.4.0/lib/rbosa.rb:329:in  
`__scripting_info__': Can't locate the target bundle on the file  
system (RuntimeError)

With
app = OSA.app(:bundle_id => 'com.microsoft.Word') I get

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubyosa-0.4.0/lib/rbosa.rb:329:  
[BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24) [powerpc-darwin8.11.0]

Abort trap

Best wishes,
Christopher

Subject: [Rubyosa-discuss] Settings IPTC Data in Aperture
Message-ID: <C51703E3-B921-453E-A195-11F119B9B4A1@carpeaqua.com>

I've run into an issue with a script I'm trying to write for  
Aperture.  I'm trying to write a script that automatically set the  
Copyright notice based on the CaptureYear (as well as a few other  
batch changes).

It looks like calling iptc_tags on an Aperture::ImageVersion only  
returns iptc fields that are populated.  Is there a way to grab all  
the fields, so I can set their values in my script?

Thanks for the help.

I've further refined the problem by checking my ruby installation. I  
am currently running Ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 5000, rbosa 0.4.0 on Mac  
OS X Tiger 10.4.11.

app = OSA.app('Microsoft Word')

produces the following error

RuntimeError: Can't locate the target bundle on the file system

method __scripting_info__	in rbosa.rb at line 329
method app	in rbosa.rb at line 329
at top level	in word-para.rb at line 8

and app = OSA.app(:bundle_id => 'com.microsoft.Word')

produces the following error

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubyosa-0.4.0/lib/rbosa.rb:329:  
[BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-12-17) [powerpc-darwin8.11.0]

for completeness I tried
app = OSA.app(:path => '/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Microsoft  
Word.app')

which produces identical results to the first idiom.

Best wishes,
Christopher
