Title: KeyChain ... slow and
restrictive?
Has anybody had any success with scripting the keychain. Often I
forget exactly the name of the keychain (and more and more websites
seem to deliberately change their field names or otherwise prevent the
keychain from recognizing a user name/password entry) so it would be
nice to have a hot key that would prompt for a string and then find
any keychain entries containing it.
However, this is what I've found (on my 800 MHz TiBook):
- (For a single keychain) "every key" takes about 55
seconds to complete.
- Not surprisingly, a repeat loop takes about double the time (but
you'd have to search only half the keys on average, so it would
probably work out to be about the same thing).
- "every key whose name contains..." simply doesn't work
(generates an error)
- "every key whose name = ..." works, but takes longer to
execute than grabbing the entire set at once!
I guess if I had dual 2GHz processors I might be able to get this
time down to about 10 seconds, but it still wouldn't be good
enough.
Has anyone found any tricks to make this acceptably fast?
