Inc. Last week's Gadget generated quite a bit of feedback, with folks suggesting other utilities which can help automate common tasks. Fellow Observer Derrick Donnelly pointed us towards T-Minus Ten. Like last week's Gadget, QuickPop , it can map keystrokes to certain tasks. But this is where the similarity ends.
Installation is a snap.
T-Minus Ten Extension will be installed. This is used to activate tasks which are activated by a schedule rather than a keystroke. You can then use the application to start or stop the program, define tasks, view the activity log, and set preferences. You can define a task as either the launching of an application or document, or running an AppleScript. The trigger for the task can be selected from a wide variety of options, including one or more specific times, a certain amount of time after system startup, at system shutdown, after a certain amount of idle time, the pressing of a key, or the mouse pointer entering a certain area of the screen.
