BTW, do you know how I could change the footer/header while the animation is playing? Thanks

Ok, I accidently had it all in a progress bar tell, nvm, its good, thanks

Update: Version 1.0.1

Release Notes:

• center / right alignment bug fixed
• code signed

Download: SKProgressBar 1.0.1

the cryptic raw events should compile as

start animation
increment by
stop animation

Of course I tested the application. It works fine on my machine (also 10.8.2).
Have you deleted the 1.0 version?

For me, in Snow Leopard, the script compiled correctly but, when run, hung for several seconds until the system's "application downloaded from the Internet" warning appeared. Since that was OK'd, everything seems to work fine.

PS. If I substitute Adam's and flex20's raw codes for the keywords, they don't compile as keywords in the AppleScript Editor window and the script suffers the same problems when run. Maybe there are terminology clashes on Adam's and flex20's systems causing miscompilations?

PPS. If I save the correctly compiled script, close AppleScript Editor, zap SKProgressBar from my startup disk, and reopen the script in AppleScript Editor, the raw codes are different from those reported by Adam and flex20:

Applescript:

   tell «class cRpB»
       set «class iDtM» to false --> default is true
       
       Â«event pGbRStMn»
       repeat 6 times
           Â«event pGbRIcRm» given «class bYVl»:10.0
           delay 1
       end repeat
       Â«event pGbRSpMn»
       
   end tell

PPPS. What's the betting Script Debugger's involved somehow?

Hi Shane,
I have actually deleted what I think were all traces of v1.0, except for whatever is in the Time Machine.  But just to make sure after your post, I booted on my clean volume I maintain for just such testing.

Then, I ejected my main volume, as well as a scrap volume I have, to make sure that nothing can be accessed on them.

Finally I run my script bundle with the SKProgressBar v1.0.1 in it.  It crashed at the same place with the same message.
So, I really don't think that the cause of the crash has anything to do with a clash of versions.

I also want to point out that I have now two scripts with integrated SKProgressBar v1.0 (I only discovered this app a few days ago) and they work perfectly on my 2010 iMac with 10.8.2.

Cheers, Chris

Hi Stefan,
Will you now release/post a new version?  I checked v1.0.1 you posted at #7 above, but it is still yesterday's version.
It's no rush really, because v1.0 is working just fine.
Regards,
Chris

Ah, I was wondering why you did it

OK, this is what I just did again:
* restored my clean test volume from a "virgin" 10.8.2 disk image with my basic configuration and disabled Spotlight;
* restarted from it and then ejected my main volume to isolate the clean test volume;
* opened a new blank script and copy/pasted the code from my original script and then saved the new script as a bundle with a new name;
* navigated to it's Resources folder and copied the SKProgressBar.app v1.0.1 to it;
* compiled and saved it; (no app v1.0 or a script containing it, were in sight or ever run on that clean volume)
* run it.
It crashed again at the same place, with the same raw codes but, slightly changed script replies:

Applescript:

tell application "SKProgressBar"
   tell progress bar
       activate
       set indeterminate to false
       Â«event PrBrStMn»
       tell current application
           -- do shell script ...
       end tell
       repeat 10 times
           Â«event PrBrIcRm» given «class bYVl»:10.0
           delay 1
       end repeat
       Â«event PrBrSpMn»
   end tell
   quit --> error number 0
end tell
(*Replies
tell application "SKProgressBar"
   activate
   set indeterminate of progress bar to false
   Â«event PrBrStMn» progress bar
       --> error number -1708
Result:
error "SKProgressBar got an error: progress bar doesn’t understand the «event PrBrStMn» message." number -1708 from progress bar*)

While the script was frozen and SKProgressBar was still running, I checked that its version was indeed 1.0.1.
So, I think that shows that v1.0.1 in a clean script, running on a clean volume is still crashing with a reproducible error.

Cheers, Chris

That's never going to solve the problem if the code you're pasting contains the old codes. Either use the new codes, or just rewrite the commands to use the English commands (set current value, increment, etc).

Hi Nigel,

thanks for the suggestion, I did that, same link

Many thanks Stefan,
The new version 1.0.1(3) works perfectly now in 10.8.2
May I suggest to update the link at #1 to always point to the latest version, to make it easier to find.

I had to update 13 instances of SKPB 1.0 code, but hey, the end result is great

Not so great was that I was about half through updates, busily retyping over the three commands, before I finally noticed Nigel's suggestion

Cheers,
Chris
