![]() ![]() ![]() When I pressed the return/enter key the bookmark was activiated and did its thing. Next I used the right arrow key to move to the Bookmarks drop-down menu, and then the down arrow key to move to the mirror bookmark I had created earlier to use manually. Then I activated Interarchy and clicked on the apple menu. I opened the Script Editor and selected the option to record a script. I tried something different and it appears to work. Can someone help an old dog learn a new trick? I tried a couple of things, but the script editor quickly told me I didn’t know what I was doing. I just don’t understand how to write the script to do this. Local: “Macintosh HD:Users:myname:Desktop:folder1:folder2” Path: /home/myname/folder1/folder2/folder3/ Now, when I do a manual mirror upload Interarchy asks for the following for which I have given fake info to use for our purposes: : execute mirror in dry run simulation mode : user password (defaults to your Email address) Mirrorupload‚v : mirror a local folder to an FTP site, destroying all remote contents. The Interarchy dictionary gives this information for mirrorupload: You can see the full set a bit larger on the Nolobe Blog here.īy the way, Nolobe (makers of Interarchy) are having an awesome Fire Sale right now, which is worth checking out.Okay, I’ll try again. Matthew was awesome to work with, and we were both very happy with how the icons turned out. In the end we settled with the current, beautiful yet unassuming icon for the application, and with a few revisions and emails back and forth we arrived at an equally satisfying set of supporting icons for the application itself. And how about a cabinet resembling a Mac Pro? I did mockups of a thin-edge ‘full black’ cabinet and a pure aluminium one. I won’t bore you too much with the process of all the icons, but some of the concepts of the application icon are interesting to see. Interarchy is a powerful and feature-rich application, and making the icons beautiful, but also appealing to the target user base is a great bonus. This makes the icons appear very modern and advanced, very much in line with what we wanted to represent with the Interarchy icons. It’s also the set of colors and materials we consider typical of Apple’s latest generation of hardware. I think this could be a great theme: not too outspoken like icons that are bright blue and black, but a subtle kind of consistency that gives the icons an extra quality when used together. While I am not a huge fan of outspoken themes in icons for an application, the stylistic direction Matthew envisioned of aluminium / silver, black, and perhaps subtle desaturated colors summoned beautiful visions of icons in my head. Changing the icon now would mean neglecting its long history and evolution. Matthew also expressed his desire to maintain the filing cabinet metaphor in the application icon, and I agreed. Like several other FTP clients, Interarchy has always been known and discerned by its icon. This was no small release, so it had to be worth it. Matthew contacted me with a request for new icons for the big upcoming version 10. Interarchy is a Mac app that’s almost as old as I am: it was first created in 1993 as one of the first FTP clients for the Mac, and in 2007 it was sold to its current owner and long-time developer of Interarchy, Matthew Drayton of Nolobe. ![]()
