This example shows a macOS service that automatically annotates screenshots with the URL of the frontmost browser window. When the user captures a screenshot, the AppleScript checks whether Google Chrome or Safari is active, retrieves the current tab’s or front document’s URL, and then sets that URL as the Finder comment on each selected image file. It uses the System Events, Finder, and browser-specific AppleScript dictionaries, leveraging the `POSIX file` and `alias` conversions to apply the metadata. The script only processes files when a browser is frontmost and skips empty URLs.

Browser Auto Refresh Script - Ruby Watcher

This example shows a Ruby script that monitors a project folder for file changes and automatically refreshes matching browser tabs. It watches specified file types like CSS, HTML, and JavaScript using `Dir.glob` to collect files and compares their modification times with `File.stat().mtime`. When a change is detected, it executes an AppleScript via `osascript` to reload tabs in Google Chrome whose URLs contain a keyword. The script runs an infinite loop with a one-second sleep, and also includes commented-out AppleScript support for Safari and Firefox.

This example demonstrates a command-line tool for capturing full-page screenshots of websites using MacRuby and WebKit. It shows a configurable web capture system that loads a URL, optionally resizes the viewport, waits for a specified delay, and saves the rendered page as a PNG. The code relies on the WebKit framework’s WebView and frame load delegation, alongside NSBitmapImageRep to rasterize the view’s content. Users specify options like width, height, output filename, and delay via Ruby’s OptionParser.

This example uses a Ruby script to capture full-page screenshots of websites by automating a hidden WebView. It first loads a given URL, waits for the page to finish rendering, then saves the rendered content as a PNG file. The code leverages MacRuby’s WebKit framework, specifically `WebView` and `NSBitmapImageRep`, to render and capture the page. It supports optional width, height, delay, and output filename parameters, with a default width of 1024 pixels and a fallback to ruby-lang.org if no URL is provided.

Darkroom is a Ruby script that captures full-page screenshots of websites. It loads a specified URL into an off-screen WebKit view, waits for the page to finish loading, and then saves the rendered content as a PNG file. The code leverages the OSX Cocoa and Webkit frameworks to create and control the browser view, and it uses `NSBitmapImageRep` to capture and encode the final image. The tool accepts command-line options to set the output filename and dimensions.

This example demonstrates how to automate opening a Google Sheets tab in Chrome at user logon and session unlock, using a PowerShell script to register a Windows scheduled task. The task triggers on logon and session unlock events, launching Chrome with an app-mode URL pointing directly to the spreadsheet. The code constructs an XML task definition with the `Register-ScheduledTask` cmdlet, embedding the Chrome executable path and the spreadsheet URL as arguments. It highlights the use of PowerShell’s scheduled task API and XML trigger configuration, showing a practical workflow automation for persistent access to a specific data source without manual intervention.

Make NSTextFIeld clickable and take you to a URL

An NSTextField subclass turns static label text into a clickable hyperlink that opens a specified URL. The example shows how to combine an inspectable URL property with attributed string styling in the `awakeFromNib` method, applying a link attribute, link-colored foreground, and optional transparent underline. It also overrides `resetCursorRects` to display a pointing-hand cursor over the label’s bounds. The implementation uses Cocoa’s `NSAttributedString` and `NSCursor` APIs, with Interface Builder integration via `@IBDesignable` and `@IBInspectable`.

Show hidden files on OSX 10.9

This example visualizes the process of revealing hidden files on OSX 10.9 by executing two shell commands. It shows the terminal commands `defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE` and `killall Finder` as a sequential code snippet, highlighting the system state change from hidden to visible files. The visualization relies on a simple text-based rendering of the shell script, with no external libraries or APIs beyond standard shell execution. The data source is the literal command sequence itself, presented as a static code block to demonstrate the minimal steps required. The rendering approach is a plain code display, not a chart or graph, focusing on command clarity over graphical abstraction.

Add a URL to a text layer

This example shows how to add hyperlinks to text layers in Sketch by assigning URLs directly to selected text or its active text range. When a user selects one or more text layers and runs the script, it prompts for a URL, then applies that link either to the entire layer or to the specific highlighted portion when text is being edited. The code uses the Sketch JavaScript API, specifically `sketch.getSelectedDocument()`, `layer.sketchObject.addAttribute_value()`, and `UI.getInputFromUser()`, along with `NSLinkAttributeName` and the `textStorage.addAttribute_value_range()` method for formatting range selection. After updating, it reloads the inspector to reflect the changes.
