iHook 1.2.0

Hook is a graphical frontend for any commandline executable
Hook is a graphical frontend for any commandline executable. It gives scripts a pleasant Aqua face, and will allow script writers to easily provide graphical feedback without having to learn one of the higher APIs available for Mac OS X.

iHook accomplishes this through its ability to understand a set of directives. When a script writes an iHook Directive to stdout, iHook will modify its own interface based on the content of the Directive. A simple shell script can have an Aqua interface, complete with a progress bar and drawer.

When launched in the Finder, iHook prompts the user to choose a script to run; iHook also accepts file drops on its icon, and will attempt to run the dropped file. iHook is also highly useful as an interface for Mac OS X LogoutHooks.

What's New in This Release:

  • Significantly improved backend code based on NSOperation subclass.
  • Mac OS X 10.5 only.
  • Added new directives, %HIDE and %UNHIDE, to hide and unhide iHook.
  • Improved console user checking.
  • Removed unnecessary locking.
  • Unlock before releasing locks.
