This is probably a dumb question, but has anyone around here used
TickleServices from the NeXTStep days?
I was starting to play with services, and finally got them working for the
wget GUI shell I'm working on. (Mental note, remember to make my
controller the delegate of my NSApplication.) So I was having fun with
being able to highlight URLs, hit Command-Shift-G, and download in other
apps.
Then I was thinking, it would be nice to run a perl script or something on
that pasteboard data. So I thought I might make a lil standalone service
that did that... then I ran into a reference to TickleServices which
basically does the same thing as what I'm thinking, only in TCL. Oh, and
the other difference, if I understand it right, is that the TCL scripts
themselves have access to a few native things like popping up file
selection boxen and other things. Seems like a really neat idea, allowing
the quick development of little tool services usable in the GUI. (Now if
only Finder could use the services...)
So.... has anyone used TickleServices? What was it like? Did you hit a
hotkey, pop up a script panel? Or was it all in the services menu? How
did the scripts work?
