| ScrUITools 1.0 - Use Tk and WxWindows for Ruby
or Perl scripting. ScrUI"
stands for Script User
Interface, and is pronounced
"screwy". ScrUITools help you
use GUI toolkits like Tk and
WxWindows with scripting
languages like Ruby and Perl.
As of Mac OS 10.2.6, scripts
executed from the Terminal are
treated as daemons, and
therefore arent allowed to
display a user interface like
standard applications.
ScrUITools force scripts to
the foreground so they can
display their user interface
correctly. This problem can
also be solved by packaging a
script in an application
bundle, but ScrUITools are
convenient when you want to
run a script without prior
preparation. Currently, there
are two ScrUITools available:
ScrUIRunner and
ScrUIActivator. The source
code and Project Builder files
for both tools are freely
available. |
