Cocoa Fortune 1.40
Cocoa Fortune - Unix utility, ported to OS X more>>
Cocoa Fortune is a Cocoa wrapper for the infamous UNIX command fortune. Fortune was/is a small utility that can display an interesting, funny or obscene message.
Many UNIX people run it as part of their login sequence so that they each morning are presented with a thought-worthy maxim to consider during the day.
Unfortunately, Apple has chosen to leave fortune out of the standard Mac OS X installation. That is why I chose to make this Cocoa wrapper for the command, so that other people than command-line freaks and programmers can enjoy the interesting comments of fortune.
I also added a few goodies, such as automatic refresh of the quote, and a user-friendly way to select the range of messages displayed.
Enhancements:
- The title bar can be removed
- The shadow can be removed
- The color of the text can be changed
- Enabled copying the current fortune without selecting the text
- Support for speech in Panther
- Can (re)generate .dat index files for fortune files, several at a time
- The fortune list management has been moved to a separate window
- Drag and drop reordering
- Add files by dragging them to the list
- Instead of using the traditional fortune program, fortunes can be retreived from the Internet host with tens of thousands of quotes, described on this page: http://www.update.uu.se/cookie.html
- Bug fixes and minor tweaks:
- Leak that led to resource starvation (file handles) after some time
- Positioning (over/under the menu bar, belove the Dock)
- Minor redraw bug in preferences
- Made it easier to select fonts
- Window fits the text better, even for fortunes that lack a trailing newline
- The window can be locked to the corner of a secondary screen
- (fortune) Better randomization if called multiple times in a short time
- (fortune) Now uses the latest fortune version from the FreeBSD tree
- Added some command key shortcuts for various menu items
- Code cleanups.
