Well,
It's exciting that our Application Enhancer technology is getting used more widely by the fellow Mac developers. Two new tools that use APE, one very small and one much bigger were released recently:
PullTab 1.0 allows you to reclaim the Command-Tab and Command-Shift-Tab keystrokes from the MacOS X Dock. This allows you to have the best of both worlds, you can use the Dock alongside whatever third party application switcher best suits your needs. Small, but useful none the less.
The bigger thing is another tool released just today, Audio Hijack Pro.
Audio Hijack does just what it says - "hijacks" audio from any running application, allowing you to save it as an AIFF or even MP3, set alarm timers that will start timed recording of any audio output from any application (record your favorite streaming shows? real audio/wma anyone?), and apply a wide variety of VST and AU plugins to the hijacked audio. The latter means you can apply equalizers to DVD Player audio playback, or distort that Britney Spears song coming from your iTunes... whatever. An impressive use of Mac OS X technologies in general and APE in particular. Check it out.

AH Pro is awesome! Watch out guys, or Rogue Amoeba will take over for Unsanity as my new favorite software company!
Posted by: Paul on March 3, 2003 2:17 PMWow... and so things come full circle...
And yes, most of you probably won't understand that line =).
OK, so its small. Less than 10 lines of code. I just got tired of waiting for you guys to write it :-)

Posted by: Basilisk on March 3, 2003 10:51 PMJust in case (someone pointed out to me that my first comment could be misconstrued), that "all-powerful" thing is praise for FruitMenu. I love it. Basically I can't thank you guys enough for making APE available.
Posted by: Basilisk on March 4, 2003 12:10 AMIs there a "PullTab" for Mac OS 9.2.2? I am one of those sufferers who must switch between OS 10.2.8 and the "Classic Environment" where I use a music program (Composer's Mosaic) in which I need command-tab to switch between measures of music. MOTU, who makes Composer's Mosaic, doesn't have an answer, and I had used a fix in AppleScript with the command:
tell application "Application Switcher" set keyboard cycling active to false end tell
- but lately that brings up a syntax error:
expected end of line but found "set"
- so it seems I have run out of fixes... Can anyone help?
