To use it, save the .icns file into the resources folder of your skEdit app, then open the info.plist file and duplicate the branch for .cfm, replacing with cfc where neccessary. The final step is too move the skEdit bundle from /Applications to the ~/Desktop and back. Apparently this forces the Launch Services Cache to updates it’s database.
There is also a .tpl icon for those working on projects with .tpl template files.
Came here because I was looking for any tips for integrating Interarchy more closely with QuickSilver and couldn’t help but comment.
In response to Sam’s comments:
So after a week of using QuickSilver I do like it, I can understand why people like it, the extra stuff is wicked cool, but after two weeks I’m going back to LaunchBar. Probably the main reason is speed and learning. LaunchBar is way faster then QuickSilver. For me it is almost always instant, quicksilver is slowing me down (part of this I know is because I am more used to LaunchBar) it takes a while for it to come to the front, it takes a while to list the choices, and it doesn’t seem to learn that ‘int’ is short for interarchy …
First up, while QuickSilver does learn which items are your favorites based on how often you choose them, you can also ‘teach’ Quicksilver which items to list first by typing your letters and then right-clicking on an item and choose ‘Set a default’ or ‘Reduce score’
After having done that with a few of my favorite programs, I can now type RD for ‘Remote Desktop Connection’, V gets me Chicken of the VNC, VL returns Video Lan Player and so on.
Second, Quicksilver is much, much faster if you take the time to setup your Catalogue. I chose my Applications, Download, Music, Documents, Sites, and Pictures folders. It is also very worthwhile to turn off the Actions you don’t use. I actually only have about 20 Actions ticked out of 125.
If you’re really picky you can also choose which filetypes are returned for each Custom Folder in your Catalogue. For the Applications I have ‘application’ .app, and .fold = folders. Sites has .php, .cfm, .html, .gif, .jpg, .swf, etc. Downloads has .zip, .sit, .fold, .img etc. This helps reduce junk matches like xml files in your iTunes catalogue, or html help file from your Applications catalogue. It sounds like a lot of work but these tweaks were done over several months as I started to learn the program and really make it work to my style.
Finally, it is definitely worth taking a look at the Flashlight interface. It looks just like Spotlight, only on the left hand side, and shows how QuickSilver is probably what Spotlight/Snotlight should have been.
Well I’m slowly weaning myself off Dreamweaver 8, and switching to skEdit full time. Dreamweaver is just too un-Mac like.
The following is an skEdit user script. skEdit user scripts are based on the Xcode user script format. This script uploads the current file using the Auto-Upload feature of Interarchy.
Ideally I’d like to map this to command+u or command+option+u (to match Dreamweaver). However these shortcuts are used by other menu commands (Path to File/Underline). I tried the Keyboard & Mouse prefpane, but it doesn’t stick.
#! /bin/sh
#
# Upload.sh - Uploads the current file using Interarchy Auto-upload.
#
# -- PB User Script Info --
# %%%{PBXName=Upload}%%%
# %%%{PBXInput=None}%%%
# %%%{PBXOutput=Discard}%%%
# %%%{PBXKeyEquivalent=@~u}%%%
#
osascript < < eof
set p to "%%%{PBXFilePath}%%%"
set a to POSIX file p
tell application "Interarchy"
open a
end tell
eof
I’ve also upgraded to Interarchy 8.1 since the Stairways team have fixed a lot of bugs between 8.0 and the current version. The UI is now very refined with a 10.4 unified interface and detailed icons enhancing the looks of the application, some cool new features such a Amazon S3 support which I want to look into further, as well as improved mirroring options such as dry-run. The other main factor is that at $19 the upgrade price is a steal. However, the above script should also work with version 7.
Here’s an easy trick for those of you lucky enough to be using Interarchy:
Interarchy was recently updated to version 8, but judging by the issues cropping up on the mailing list, I think I’m gonna wait until the 8.0.1 release comes out.
Those IntelliTxt ads were really starting to piss me off, so to get rid of them I added the following to my AdBlock.css file:
/* IntelliTxt */
#tooltipbox {
display: none !important;
}
.iAs {
text-decoration:none !important;
border-bottom:none !important;
font-style:inherit !important;
color:inherit !important;
cursor:default;
}
