Here are my "hacks" for OneClick. Some of these have not been released to the general public.
Apple's Note Pad is a good place to store text, but it isn't always convenient to use. Enter AddNote! With a simple click, you can add selected text to your primary note pad file, and open it with Option-click. AddNote even allows you to have multiple note pad files. Requires the OneClick Extension AddNote (included with this package).
Calculate dates in the past and future. Also set your Macintosh time and date directly!
FileDate is a OneClick extension for getting the creation or modification dates of a file (it does not work for disks). Modification date can also be returned in seconds since1990.
FindFile is a OneClick extension that allows you to search your hard disk for files or for text within files. FindFile will return a list containing the full path names of the filesthat match the search criteria. Carriage returns (char 13) are used as the delimiters between filenames in the list.
To see FindFile in action, check out Gregory C. Townsend's excellent FindFile Palette.
FlushVols is an extension which can tell the Mac OS to write all unwritten data in the disk cache to disk immediately. This can prevent data loss if you crash before the disk cache is written to disk. All mounted disks which have data in the disk cache unwritten to disk will have their unwritten data saved to disk.
IsBlack allows you to query a pixel on the screen and determine whether it is black or white. Allows OneClick to "look" at areas of the screen and determine whether controls or areas have changed.
Allows you to query a list in OneClick easier and more specifically with less code.
Fades the screen.
Modem allows you to send arbitrary strings to your modem and wait for responses. This allows you to see if a number you are dialing is busy so you can redial. It basically gives you 2 way communication with your modem.
Mod gives you the modulo function in Easyscript.
Allows you to calculate resistor values.
Convert from decimal to hex easily.
This widely used extension allows you to query at any time if a key is being pressed.
Allows you to move the cursor using EasyScript.
Play monophonic lines using QuickTime Musical Instruments with Easyscript.
