PreFab UI Actions 1.2.1
"Universal Attachability" for AppleScript
SUMMARY: PreFab Software releases UI Actions 1.2.1, a minor update to UI Actions, bringing "universal attachability" to AppleScript. Download it at http://PreFabSoftware.com/uiactions/.
NORTH ANDOVER, Massachusetts -- July 3, 2007 -- PreFab Software, Inc. and Bill Cheeseman today announced the release of version 1.2.1 of PreFab UI Actions. UI Actions is a Universal Binary that runs natively both on Power PC Macintosh computers and the new Intel Macs.
UI Actions 1.2.1 fixes a bug introduced in UI Actions 1.2 where UI Actions Setup crashed if a script was attached to a target application and the target application subsequently quit, or if UI Actions Setup was relaunched and the target application was no longer running. UI Actions Setup now once again correctly lists target applications that are not running in orange text.
UI Actions implements "universal attachability" for AppleScript. With UI Actions, you attach an AppleScript script to a native Mac OS X application. From then on, the script will be triggered automatically every time the user performs the actions you specify in the target application. A UI Action script can respond to all manner of user actions, such as opening or closing a window, selecting a menu item, editing a text field and many others.
PreFab UI Actions is universal. While Apple's Folder Actions and Digital Hub Actions are specialized tools that let your scripts respond when the user performs narrowly defined tasks, UI Actions goes much further. It allows any accessible user interface element in any application to trigger a script in response to any supported user action. UI Actions opens up whole new worlds of possibilities.
Download a free, full-featured 30-day trial version of UI Actions 1.2.1 now at PreFabSoftware.com/uiactions/. This trial version will work even if you tried an older version of UI Actions more than 30 days ago.
UI Actions 1.2.1 is a free upgrade for licensed users. The price for new users is $35, with quantity discounts available.
PreFab Software, Inc. has unmatched experience controlling the GUI via scripts, releasing PreFab Player in 1994 with continued sales and support today for Mac OS 9 and earlier. In 2003, PreFab entered the world of Mac OS X with PreFab UI Browser, a popular utility to support Apple's new GUI Scripting technology. PreFab UI Actions, implementing "universal attachability" for AppleScript, followed in 2004. Download fully-functional 30-day trial versions at http://PreFabSoftware.com/. UI Browser and UI Actions are based on Bill Cheeseman's Cocoa framework for working with Apple's accessibility API.
