Thread: how to set a year calendar in Pm QL ?

    how to set a year calendar in Pm QL ?

    For now no way to do it on pixelMAD ,

    But you could use iCal instead .

    How ?

    iCal allow to lunch apple scripts

    So you can set iCal to lunch a specific apple script at some point .

    does PixelMad have a apple script dictionary ?
    No ! Not yet ( may be never )

    How to I use apple scripts to control pixelMad ?
    PixelMAD have a integrated webserver , and it respond to certein specifics url hints like : http://localhost:8080/runPreset/1 ( this run preset one )

    So you could use a shell command to hit the url and make Pm run a preset .

    To do that the siplest way it's to create an apple script like this :



    Code:
    tell application "Pixelmad"
    	activate
    	delay 1
    	do shell script "/usr/bin/curl http://localhost:8080/runPreset/1"
    end tell
    That will run preset one .

    If you save that apple script and load it in to iCal you will be able to control pixelMAD's presets in a infite calendar . not only weekly

    So you could say run preset 100 the 31 dec 2010 .

    is this 100% safe working procedure ?
    I don't know , but since iCal will not crash it will work .

    also you may see that I add :

    tell application "Pixelmad"
    activate

    that will actvate Pm if it's inactive ( crashed )

    Known issue .

    if you want to remotelly controll a PM you will have to set the right path of every single script .

    Also you will have to set the correct name for pixelMad application .
    ( that's because every pixelMad release have it's own unique name )

    I have set a calendar to hit a Pm preset in the year 2010 , as soon I will have a confirm I'll report it

    update

    you can also send calendar via Mail .

    modify at home and send it to customer

    to do that will need to put the script in /Users/Shared

    Why ?

    Bacause iCal will use a absolute path witch mean that if you put the script in a folder like /User/emilianomorgia/pmscripts once you set the calendar then you will be not able to share that calendar with a remote machine .
