Macro utilities

KeyQuencerª, QuicKeysª and OneClickª all allow any application--including non-scriptable applications like Signalyze--to be accessed by script.

  • a comparison chart is available to compare their cost and get a quick idea of their features
  • see QuicKeys' comprehensive comparison chart for a blow-by-blow comparison (assumed to be unbiased in content, if not intent)

Among other things, QuicKeys Version 4.1 now has a batch processing function in its macro scripts. I'll get an example installed here someday, but it only took me about 30 minutes of fiddling with the QuicKeys demo to create a macro that told Signalyze to filter all of the signals in a folder on my desktop.

OneClick users can do the same thing with a little work, using the DragAndDrop script function:

  • open the OneClick Editor
  • click on the Script tab
  • select List from the popup menu
  • click on DragAndDrop to highlite it
  • click on the ? for examples using this function

You can then match your script with the examples to have it process all the files in a folder that you drag-and-drop on the script's button. A bit more complicated than QuicKey's approach, but doable.

If anyone has any more experience with any of these utilities, especially any macros they have written that they would like to install here, please let Linguist Plus know.
