Fruits of my labor: Now to find out why the Finder icon is a mess… and then of course make the program actually do something. thanks

Ah I’m close (and so far away). I’m at the point where I’ve set up all my stuff and can iterate through each process and then get its icon (im sure I’m doing this in a lame inefficient way setting up a PBRecord etc..). In the debugger I can see the bytes that make up the icon data and can tell...

That’s right, I forgot! Well between LSD and the little diamond I thought maybe it was a drug reference or at least a Lucy In the Sky with diamonds thing. But Lightspeed Debugger makes more sense :)

Funny that process signature for the ThinkC debugger is LSD? Anyway thanks for the tips ok process info. I’m getting there… next I’ll pull up the icon and figure how to parse the data and then display it on my little dock!

Thanks! I have never used that but will try it for fun. I didn't do any research on whether something like my project exists mainly because I'm doing it to have a target to exercise what I'm learning in this programming tutorial so things like market acceptance and uniqueness aren't too...

Thanks yes! I was just reading up on this in Inside Macintosh! Had gotten as far as how to produce a list of running processes but hadn’t seen yet the part about PBDTGetIcon to get the icon. Thanks

Also does anyone have a good link to digital copies of Inside Macintosh volumes? Here's a link to Inside Macintosh Volumes: https://archive.org/details/inside-macintosh-1992-1994/1992-macintosh_toolbox_essentials/

Is there a way for my program to query the OS to see what other applications are currently running? And then to access those apps' application icon? My goofball project is to make a very simple likeness to the OS X dock that hovers at the bottom of the screen. --- Playing it real simple for...

Oooohhhh yeeeaaaaaaah.

And I figured it out… I don’t see where in the text I missed this but I have to go in Event *Trigger*’s “Set Project Type..” window and set the HIGH LEVEL EVENT AWARE flag in the SIZE flags. The book def says to do all this for Event*Tracker* but I don’t see where it says to do this for...

I cannot seem to get my EventTracker to respond to the AppleEvent generated by EventTrigger. I made sure to set the Creator code correctly in Tracker and to use ‘Prmr’ as the appSig that is the destination in Trigger… I’m a bit stuck!!

I was going to suggest reflowing the solder pins on all of the muxes if OP felt comfortable doing that. It’s not too hard and it could help. But yes replacing the muxes may be necessary. Really I think the recap is step 1.

This was my first thought

I used a cr2032 cell at 3.5V in my se. I understand the old macs tolerate a wide range of voltages for this purpose and many use 2032. I got this one https://console5.com/store/horizontal-holder-for-2032-coin-cell-batteries.html But many exist. Some with wire leads built in (which I think makes...

What this guy said. Please try again but changing the hda filename so that it is not a signed scsi I’d zero as thst conflicts with your hard drive. Or you could unplug your hard drives’ scsi cable but a lot easier to just rename a file on the sd card.

https://museo.freaknet.org/gallery/apple/stuff/mac/andreas.kann/schemat.html try this. See the video schematic as it has your muxes. Post pic of what your se30 board in the se shows on screen.

Photo of what shows on the SE with the se/30 board plz!?

Ok - I'm game! I was only a little further in using the Macintosh C Programming By Example book but I'll do the study group thing with this C Programming Primer book. It looks good. The timing will encourage me to stay motivated. I'm using either an SE or SE/30. Think C kinda of flipped on...

Just a shout-out to Macintosh C Programming by Example as being a good book to teach yourself C on Macintosh using THINK C 5.0 It came with a disk with some skeleton programs used in the book -- and macintoshrepository has the disk. I've used it to build a very simple program but hope to...
