Re: record/playback of keyboard input

Thanks for the explanation, Chris. Generally, if there was a JS function that I needed--I would certainly write it/
use it--performance be damned! Running on these faster modern machines my concern over JS was probably
slightly silly. Somewhere I'm going to have to write a patch that takes a "log" of keystrokes and produces an
output file of some sort. Strings would be fine. Does your ("kineme") textWrite patch work under Leopard--
I saw a brief comment about that on the kineme web-site.
thanks again.

A more specific question--is all the Java support and overhead present when i use QC, even
if I have no use for it?

The support is there, probably lazily loaded (so not really, unless something makes use of it). memory-wise, the same -- likely not loaded unless something else touches it. Core Image filters do a bit with javascript, so that may cause it to get loaded etc.

As for CPU overhead, none at all -- QC doesn't appear to have any per-frame dependance upon JS aside from the JS patch (a good thing ;). It's loaded via the ExtraPatches.plugin bundle. with CoreImage filters, I'm not sure whether or not that's evaluated by default (I've not profiled/inspected that aspect of filtering) -- but if you make a more elaborate filter function, it's almost certainly evaluated per-frame. :(
