Nice to see first try how to solve this situation, thank you visionmill.visionmill wrote:I've created an applescript to open the server and client and then start it. On the clients it will always select the first server in the list. Just add the script to your log in items.
Open applescript editor and copy the following code for the client into it:
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before but auto-start and auto-connect are two things I'm definitely writing into the next version of ArraySync. The problem before was changing our company name at Apple, but now the big problem is continued delays over at Real Studio, with which ArraySync is created. They've been promising reworked QuickTime APIs for over a year now, and while I've seen alpha builds of it, it isn't ready for primetime yet. For awhile we've been expecting this to be in March, but now it's looking more like May. It's extremely frustrating.nausus wrote:Is there any similar way to dot on Windows based system?
If you're on windows you may be able to do it with a macro recorder. If I get 5 minutes I'll knock one up but try autohotkey. You may need to put a delay in the script to ensure that it has time to detect the master. I've found that the more machines you add the longer it can take!nausus wrote:

(I'm not a developer at all...)Automator was first released with Mac OS X Tiger so you should be able to recreate them yourself in your iMac G3's copy of Automator. Fair warning though, the next ArraySync update will definitely not support PowerPC systems.steve wrote:the applescript / automator solution provided for autostart doesn't work on PPC+OSX.4 platform (imacs G3). Well too bad, the app look very nice. (Installation have to startup automatically every morning)
The next version is a complete rewrite, not an incremental improvement. The clients and servers won't sync. I won't be writing for PowerPC anymore because all the tools and utilities I use to create the program have dropped PowerPC support since the last version of ArraySync was released.steve wrote:Thank you for your quick answer Turbo.
- The automator files provided doesn't run on PPC. I guess I should try to recreate them on a PPC/Tiger computer in automator. I have no PPC computer right now to try it, but I'll do asap.
- Would a 0.95 client on PPC be sync'ed with the next release running on Intel or PC ? can't wait to test the next release...
Why running on PPC machines ?...
--> They are cheap. (massive multi program at low cost.)
--> They look cool.
--> Nobody stole them
--> in some occasions, they can be mixed with modern displays for a very pleasant effect.
congratulations for your work !
So.... Not trying to stir up trouble but WOW. Over a year and a half on auto start and it's still not working? What a basic concept to just leave out and worst of all, it's been over a year and a half and still no progress?? Damn, might as well give up on this one.Turboladdade wrote:In the current version it's by hand unfortunately. Auto-starting is a glaring omission on my part, and will be in the next update I swear!

Autostart actually works just fine using Automator. You can use my scripts here or create your own.SlowMoDevTime wrote:So.... Not trying to stir up trouble but WOW.

So there is no solution for WIN platform? You have mentioned and an upgrade long time ago and there is still version 1.03 with no changes?? I bought ArraySync and I have used it on one installation of the large video wall. From this time I have after any power-down or system crash to remotely login to computer and start everything manually.Turboladdade wrote:Autostart actually works just fine using Automator.
