I'm using the opensource GUI frontend for rsync called "arRsync". It works great, but there's no way to automate it.
What I'm trying to do is use Applescript to run a preset (which you define in the Application) using the following simple script:
tell application "arRsync" to runPreset "presetTest1"
The problem is Applescript thinks "runPreset" is a variable, not a command. I've also tried a tell/end-tell variation of the above, no dice. The 'runPreset' command is part of arRsync.sdef
You can find the arRsync project here
I've tried opening up both Info.plist files inside the app and ticking the 'Scriptable' box (or setting it to 'true' for those of you without Property List Editor) but I'm still stuck.
I'm a scripting noob when it comes to Cocoa :p help would be greatly appreciated
The arRsync binary is missing a scripting dictionary. Build from source, first making the following changes:
Edit Info.plist in the project, setting the "Scriptable" option to true.
Fix the project's script dictionary, arRsync.sdef. The code for the runPreset command has one letter too few (command codes must be two FourCCs, or eight characters, long). Add a character to runPreset's code attribute; just about any character will work. If you want, the file can be shortened and simplified by replacing the Standard and Text suites with an include. Back up the orignal file and make a new arRsync.sdef containing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE dictionary SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/sdef.dtd">
<dictionary title="arRsync Terminology"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude">
<xi:include href="file:///System/Library/ScriptingDefinitions/CocoaStandard.sdef"
xpointer="xpointer(/dictionary/suite)"/>
<suite name="arRsync Suite" code="arRs">
<command name="runPreset" code="runPPrst">
<cocoa name="runPreset" class="scriptController"/>
<direct-parameter type="any"/>
</command>
</suite>
</dictionary>
Alternatively, you could just replace the runPreset command element with the one from above.
Add arRsync.sdef to the "Copy Bundle Resources" phase of the arRsync target
Switch to a Release build ("Blackbeard" is the name for the debug build).
Build it.
That should produce a scriptable version of arRsync. As you've already figured out, you also might need to play with the target SDK.

I am building a distribution package for xnec2c and I want .nec files to associate with xnec2c and also display the associated icon.
(This question is different than the many xdg-utils answers out there because it asks about packaging and whether xdg-* calls are actually necessary.)
I know I can register them with these:
xdg-mime install --mode system x-nec2c.xml
xdg-icon-resource install --mode system --context mimetypes --size 256 xnec2c.png application-x-nec2
xdg-mime default xnec2c.desktop # but `man` says not as root?
Should it be sufficient just to drop the .xml and .desktop and .png in the right place on the filesystem?
Does the post-install in the package need to run some or all of these commands?
I read here that the icon would be application-x-nec2 and not application/x-nec2. Is this correct?
I would like the files to work by placing them in the right spot without running the xdg-* tools if supported.
(The package is a .rpm, but type and distro shouldn't matter since xdg is a standard. I want the same basic process to work for .deb, too.)
Everything should associate as the mime type application/x-nec2 since "nec2" is the file format for ".nec" files. This is reflected in the .desktop and .xml definitions below unless I have an error. Please correct me if I have something out of place!
Here are the relevant files that deploy:
/usr/share/applications/xnec2c.desktop (see below)
/usr/share/mime/packages/x-nec2.xml (see below)
/usr/share/pixmaps/xnec2c.svg
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/xnec2c.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/xnec2c.svg
and here are is the content:
==> /usr/share/applications/xnec2c.desktop <==
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Xnec2c
GenericName=NEC2 Simulator
Comment=Numerical Electromagnetics Code software
Exec=xnec2c
Icon=xnec2c
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Science;
Keywords=nec2;em;simulator;
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.22
MimeType=application/x-nec2;
==> /usr/share/mime/packages/x-nec2.xml <==
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>
<mime-type type="application/x-nec2">
<comment>NEC2 Antenna Simulation File</comment>
<icon name="application-x-nec2"/>
<glob-deleteall/>
<glob pattern="*.nec"/>
</mime-type>
</mime-info>
You don't need to run the mime-* tools, but you do need to update the desktop and icon associations for the freedesktop environment after install like so:
update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
update-desktop-database
gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor
These should be run after uninstall, too, to cleanup after removal. In RPMs this is the %postun section.
Substitute /usr/share with whatever deployment variable you might use like %{_datadir} for RPM .spec's.
Also the icon name had an issue. It should have just been named 'xnec2c' not 'application-x-nec2' because the 'xnec2c' icon gets installed with the installer as follows:
%{_datadir}/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/%{name}.svg
%{_datadir}/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/%{name}.png
I have an XNA project that's hosted and shared with another user via a Dropbox account. When I try to build, it fails with this error:
Unable to copy file "D:\Documents\Dropbox\Super Mario Limitless\SuperMarioLimitless\SuperMarioLimitless\bin\x86\Debug\Content\m_norm.xnb" to "bin\x86\Debug\m_norm.xnb". Could not find a part of the path 'D:\Documents\Dropbox\Super Mario Limitless\SuperMarioLimitless\SuperMarioLimitless\bin\x86\Debug\Content\m_norm.xnb'.
It seems to be trying to pull a file out of the other computer's path, which clearly doesn't exist on this computer. I've traced it down (roughly) to a file called ContentPipeline.xml in $(SolutionFolder)\SuperMarioLimitlessContent\obj\x86\Debug\
<Item>
<Source>m_norm.png</Source>
<Name>m_norm</Name>
<Importer>TextureImporter</Importer>
<Processor>TextureProcessor</Processor>
<Options>None</Options>
<Output>D:\Documents\Dropbox\Super Mario Limitless\SuperMarioLimitless\SuperMarioLimitless\bin\x86\Debug\Content\m_norm.xnb</Output>
<Time>2012-12-06T21:47:30-05:00</Time>
</Item>
Now, I can change the paths to my own, and it will work for me but not for him. I tried changing them to relative paths, but it doesn't seem like whatever's loading this file will parse relative paths, nor does it work with $(SolutionFolder) or $(ProjectFolder), instead interpreting them literally.
The two content files in question are both set to "Build Action: Compile" and "Copy to Output Directory: Copy Always".
So, is there a way to fix this, or is this a sign of deeper problems?
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to add the syntax plugin for the Go programming language in Notepad++.
There is a repository for such user-defined languages. I downloaded and unzipped the Go files, which contained a README, a userDefinedLang_Go.xml, and go.xml.
I attempted to follow the instructions at the bottom of the page as follows. Since I am using Windows 7 (x64), my Notepad++ directory is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++".
Having not installed a user defined language before, I didn't have a userDefinedLang.xml file already, so I copied userDefinedLang_Go.xml into the root directory, and renamed it to remove the "_Go", making it userDefinedLang.xml.
I then copied go.xml into C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\
This seems to be all of the steps necessary. However, when I open Notepad++, there is no "Go" near "Lang => User Defined", and there is no syntactic coloring on a .go file. Attempting to import via "View => User-Defined Dialogue => import" gives a "fail to import" error.
What am I doing wrong? I'm using a clean installation of Notepad++, which is version 6.1.8.
I had to put my userDefineLang.xml file in my AppData\Roaming folder:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++
New install of Notepad++ 6.4.5 on Windows 7 64 bit
Download from Notepad++ site:
http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php?title=User_Defined_Language_Files#G
Copy "go.xml" to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs.
The default install doesn't have any user-defined languages, so you can do this:
Copy "userDefineLang_Go.xml" to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++
Remove the "_Go" from the file name, so it's "userDefineLang.xml"
Uncomment the opening and closing "NotepadPlus" tags.
(If you already have a userDefineLang.xml then add the content from the _Go file.)
Restart Notepad++.
I just got it working on my system after some tinkering. Put this at the top of the userDefinedLang.xml file and the go.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
That should do the trick (after reopening Notepad++).
go.xml should be in the plugins/APIs folder, and userDefinedLang.xml goes in the root of Notepad++ as you said.
Something other answers do not discuss: Some older versions of Notepad++ do not appear to work with any of these answers.
I tried pretty much all the solutions before upgrading Notepad++ to version 6.4.2.
xkcd 979
Tested Notepad++ versions:
5.9 - not working - tested by namey
6.4.2 - working - tested by Elysian Fields
6.6.9 - working - tested by namey
For other versions your mileage may vary.
I share the solution I found for Notepad++ 6.5, because I had the same issue than the previous messages.
If not done, do the install steps explained in go\misc\notepadplus\README (userDefineLang.xml,functionList.xml,APIs).
When you don 't have useDefineLang.xml in Notepad++, create one using the file from go\misc\notepadplus\useDefineLang.xml, but don't forget to add the first line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
and uncomment NotepadPlus part to have <NotepadPlus> at the beginning and </NotepadPlus> at the end.
Change in functionList.xml: <association ext=".go" id="go"/> BY <association userDefinedLangName="go" id="go"/>
As I didn't have any userDefineLang.xml file by default in Notepad++, I imported this file using the menu Language → Define your language → *Import.
Then stop/start Notepad++.
Check that Go is in the Language menu at the end of the list.
Open a .go file. If the color doesn't change automatically click on go in /Language menu
All were OK after that for me (indentation, color, autocompletion, etc.).
I added pl/sql language syntax to Notepad++. The syntax /language was on the web. Here's how I got it to work ...
Open the XML file using Notepad and added <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?> to the very beginning, as David had suggested. Then save it to userDefinedLang_plsql.xml
Paste the file in the Notepad++ root directory.
I also copied it into C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs\, and navigated to menu Languages → Userdefined, but it did nothing.
So, I then went to menu Languages → Define your language and selected pl/sql from the drop down, renamed it, and saved it in that dialog window.
The new language then it appeared in the language dialog at the end.
userDefineLang resides in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\userDefineLang.xml.
Make sure your Notepad++ is installed under "C:\Program Files(86)", and not under "C:\npp.#.#.#.bin" folder.
And download from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download. Or simply google "Download Notepad++".
Check out a sample Scala language userDefineLang.xml file here: https://github.com/nfang/scala-syntax-highlighter
If you don't have any user languages defined before, then after renaming userDefinedLang_Go.xml to userDefinedLang.xml, also edit the text of file by adding the tags <NotepadPlus></NotepadPlus> around the original content.
How to configure poedit to extract strings from xml file?
I have Zend Framework navigation items in .xml like this:
<entry-i>
<label>Text to translate</label>
<params>
...
<params>
<entry-i>
And I want poedit to read just messages from <label>s.
I have been searching for a solution as well, and I have just gotten it to work!
In Poedit (I have 1.4.2), add a new parser (Edit > Preferences) with the following properties:
Language: XML
List of extensions separated by semicolons (e.g. .cpp;.h): *.xml
Parser command: xgettext --force-po -o %o %C %K %F -L glade
An item in keywords list: -k%k
An item in input files list: %f
Source code charset: --from-code=%c
In your translation project, add label and title to your keyword list and update the catalog.
The above advice to abuse the Glade extractor to parse non-Glade XML files is misguided. It’s never going to work well (case in point: some comments around here). Of course, it was better than nothing back in 2010.
Starting with gettext 0.19.7 (bundled with Poedit since 1.8.7), there’s a better way: there’s now builtin support in gettext for custom XML files via ITS rules.
The best way to extract strings from a custom XML file is to
Add a custom extractor with your extension, specifying standard gettext invocation, without the -L glade bit.
Write ITS rules for your file format.
Put them in the location of other .its and .loc files in Poedit’s installation.
For anyone running into problems with the configuration for Poedit on windows, specifically if you get an error message saying that glade and expat are not available, replace the supplied xgettext.exe with current one from the gnuwin32 project:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gettext.htm
You need to download the binaries and the dependencies. However, only the binary xgettext.exe must be extracted and related files (just run it and it will tell you what is missing)
Looks like PoEdit does not support XML yet.
I have created a little php script, to extract the labels to .php file,
which PoEdit does understand.
$xml = simplexml_load_file("../application/configs/navigation.xml")
or die("Error: Cannot open XML file");
echo '<?';
foreach($xml->xpath('//label') as $label){
echo 'echo _("'.$label.'");'. PHP_EOL;
}
It worked great!! I found the problem about "glade not supported" using Poedit 1.4.6 in Windows 7 but I fixed by downloading last gnuwin32 binaries and dependencies as user496209 said. Don't download the complet package because PoEdit comes with its own gettext library, so just donwload binaries and dependencies and replace the requested files into the poedit folder.
For some reason, I can't seem to get CruiseControl.net to checkout code to anywhere but the starteam working folder for a specificed view.
I've tried both overrideViewWorkingDir and overrideFolderWorkingDir, and neither seem to work.
Has anyone been able to do this?
Are you looking for the project's workingDirectory element instead of the starteam override?
<sourcecontrol type="starteam">
<executable>C:\Program Files\starbase\StarTeam 5.4\stcmd.exe</executable>
<project>ProjectName/ViewName</project>
<username>UserName</username>
<password>Password</password>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>49201</port>
<autoGetSource>true</autoGetSource>
<overrideViewWorkingDir>C:\temp\ProjectName</overrideViewWorkingDir>
</sourcecontrol>
Works fine for me with ccnet 1.4.3 and Startem Cross-Platform Client 2008 R2. Make sure XML is valid. I had overrideViewWorkingDir tag not properly closed and ccnet was ignoring it. Found it by running ccnet.exe from the command line instead of as a service. Also you can use Process Explorer from SysInternals to view command line arguments passed to stcmd.exe
Make sure your working folder properties are set to a relative and not a full path (ex: MyFolder instead of C:\MyProject\MyFolder) or it will override the override. I've seen files checked out to some very odd places in the past when people mistakenly put in full paths when adding a folder to a view.
