Hey,
Great work chrome, I installed last night and it is awesome. Although I have one question, is there a way to always be running the app? For example when I turn you mac on...

Great work, it looks like a great way to get your teeth into Cocoa. One thing I noticed was that things didn't work quite right (in fact I got stuck in a weird loop where I couldn't quit without "tricking" the preferences pane) if you run the app and it's not in /Applications.
I would hazard a guess to say that you have hard-wired /Applications/NodeQuota into your code somewhere? Or is there another explanation? It refused to validate my password until I quit (which was actually not that easy since it wouldn't let me close the prefs window!). As soon as I re-opened from /Applications/NodeQuota, then re-entered my password, it worked great.

Anything hack up something similar for TPG even if they have to scrape the page for the info?
So glad I found SpeedSchedule plugin for Azureus. Has helped massively with quota-balancing.

Not meaning to hijack a thread, but Launch!TPG is a start.. not that pretty but a start...
Ration? Ration??

Just made some replacement menubar icons for this great little app.
Click to download
To Install
Right click on the NodeQuota app in your Applications folder. Click Show Package Content. Browse to Contents>Resources and drop in my replacement .tiffs. Overwrite the old files. Enjoy |

Nope, no hardwired paths. I usually run NodeQuota from /Extra myself, and from the project build directory. I've not tested PPC though, so if you're on that, then YMMV
Really not sure what your problem is .. though its my first effort so its not exactly the cleanest design under the hood. Undoubtedly I've screwed something up. Let me know if you are able to replicate it.

Current plan for 1.1, is a little ambitious but should satisfy a bunch of people;
- Redo the dropdown menu to use a custom view that can present the information a little better hopefully.
- Add the capability to display a graph of the last month's usage.
- Multiple account support.
- Multiple provider support.
- Custom provider support.
The custom provider support will allow anyone to write a script in perl/python/whatever that can implement the data scraping and emits the required data on stdout in a set format. I'll supply an example script in perl that people can modify to support their ISP. Once you have a working method for scraping the data, you can then send me the finished script and I'll convert it to Objective-C and support it natively.
No estimates on how long this will take. I'm still experimenting with a few things and trying to get the underlying design right so adding other stuff later on down the road will be easier.
Thoughts?

I installed on a Mac Pro, so it's not a PPC thing. If I get around to it I might try uninstalling then re-installing with fseventer running or something like that to try and work out what happened. Are there any "helper" apps or anything like that that don't reside in the main App bundle? If I remove the app from /Applications, is that everything gone?
It could be some weird permissions thing on my end... who knows. Are you using the standard User Defaults API for storing settings?

No helper apps; its completely self contained. It uses the user defaults API, as you say. Deleting the application will completely remove it (except for the settings & keychain, of course).
Sorry mate, I have no clue. If you're able to reproduce the problem then let me know how you do it and I'll take a look. Someone else had a similar problem (it kept not saving the password to the user defaults) but 1.0.5 fixed it for them (and 1.0.6 moved the password to the keychain).
I'd share the code only its utter shite and I don't want anyone seeing it out of embarrassment. 1.1 will be much cleaner I'm considering open sourcing it.

I've done this, but now when I turn on the laptop this error comes up:
Authentication Failed.
If this is the first time starting NodeQuota, you will need to configure your Internode username and password.
The password that is entered is correct, and the only way I can get passed this, is to delete the password and retype it. |
