Hi all,
Thanks a bunch for all of your patience with me and help over the
past months. Thanks to the people on this forum who kindly give of
their own time, I finally have the prototype for my application done.
I'll probably throw this version away and start from scratch because
I'm not very happy with the interface, but most of the functionality
is working. The two main things that I have to deal with are the fact
that the undo function doesn't work when you're in the 'Files' tab,
and I have to add search functionality.
Basically, the tool is just a 'scratching my itch' thing to allow me
to manage offline archives. I shoot quite a lot of video and
photographs, and archiving them is a pain. Some stuff is archived to
removable hard drives, some stuff to DVD, etc. So I wrote this to
learn something about cocoa and also to have a useful tool when I was
done.
If anyone is interested in seeing 'My First App', feel free to grab
it from http://www.penguinpowered.org/content/Alexandria.dmg and have
a play.
If you do have a look, I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts on
the following things:
1. What kind of preferences would you like to be able to set in an
app like this ?
2. What parts of the interface feel unwieldy?
3. What behavior of the application doesn't feel 'right' and how
would you like this to behave?
4. Does this seem even remotely useful for media archival ?
If anyone else finds this useful, it will be released under either
the BSD or the GPL license (still deciding on that and trying to find
out if it's even worth releasing :D)
Again - thanks to everyone here for your help - I never would have
thought myself capable of this (no matter how simple / lame it may
appear to you pro's here :D) and I wouldn't have been capable if it
wasn't for the patience and kindness of the people on this list.
Regards,
