If the file was quarantined, it will sometimes log the quarantine message to the console, and return userCanceledErr. Using LSOpenCFURLRef() to open the script app intermittently works. Unfortunately I hit what seem to be a few bugs in Launch Services. app bundles saved from AppleScript Editor aren't quarantined (also reasonable, as it's an explicit user action). app bundles to be quarantined (as expected / desired). app output going into Library/Scripts/Applications/Delicious Library 2/ (inside our container). When the user turns them on, we run osacompile to app-ify them, with the. We also ship some sample scripts, which we include inside our app bundle (as. app bundles, and run them by having our app call Launch Services (which can then do quarantine checks and whatever). Currently the least-bad solution is to have users save their scripts as. Previously we ran those scripts in our app directly via NSAppleScript, but that approach is too limiting when our app runs in a sandbox. You may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but this feature makes that much easier to find.Our app (Delicious Library 2) provides users the ability to run scripts. You can of course search by keyword, but there’s also a color view: Choose a color, and the items you own that contain that color (on, say, their cover) will pop into view. Delicious Library 3 also makes your collection searchable. You can save these items to a wish list, or click one to be whisked to to make the purchase straightaway. First, Delicious Library 3 generates a list of “recommended” items you might enjoy based on what you already own. Delicious Library 3 makes recommendations based on the contents of your library.Ī couple of other features are worth noting.

If you’re selling your books, for example, the Chart view acts as a sort of Blue Book that helps you set the price just right. But does the app’s skeumorphism make sense in 2013, when designers seem to be shifting away from that sensibility? I still like it, and it’s essentially the app’s trademark, but if you don’t like seeing your collection of items arrayed on a shelf, you can switch to a List view, or to the Chart view, which breaks down your collection into key analytics, including the resale value of the items you own. When Delicious Library made its debut eight years ago, its bookshelf motif was well received. You must enter all that information manually, or enter the Amazon version of each item and then edit the info. And if you live outside the Apple-Amazon universe-say, if you have a Barnes & Noble Nook-Delicious Library doesn’t seem equipped to easily help you.

But if there’s a way to directly import and sync all of that information for dozens of titles at a time-the way there is with iTunes-it’s not readily apparent. In fact, you can even sell items from your collection on directly from within the app. I say “strange” because Delicious Library 3 is tightly integrated with Amazon: If you own a Kindle book, you can type in the name of that book and Delicious Library will furnish the precise edition you own same thing with albums and videos. Strangely, adding e-books, digital movies, and music collections from Amazon isn’t quite so easy. Also, your digital media doesn’t integrate with the rest of your library-each medium gets its own shelf. Your shelves will not, however, include apps, even if you’ve synced your iPhone or iPad with your computer’s iTunes account. You can sync the program with your iTunes account, letting Apple aficionados automatically list any audio files, iBooks, and videos stored in or synced with iTunes. The developer does recognize this challenge. Delicious Library 3 can tap into your iTunes library. If you’re wanting one list to rule them all, and for that list to be compiled as easily as Delicious Library’s predecessors swallowed up information about your “real world” collections, you’ll be mildly frustrated with version 3.

Delicious Library 3 offers an analysis of your collection and its value.īut when it comes to media, much has changed in the five years since Delicious Library 2: Many of the items that commonly used physical media in 2008-movies, books, and even software-now exist only in digital bits, and sometimes only in the cloud.
