Idle Interval software enhances the responsiveness of AppleScript Studio applications by reducing idle time. The software allows developers to improve user experience by optimizing performance and reducing waiting times.
As a developer, you may have found the idle handler had a limited and inflexible interface. This could lead to inefficiencies in process flow control scripts for your application. Currently, the only way to set the idle interval is by returning a new value from the idle handler. This can cause inflexibility and compromises the efficiency and responsiveness of your application.
The Idle Interval scripting addition solves these problems by providing scriptable timing options for each AppleScript Studio application. Users can adjust settings like the idle interval, idle frequency, next idle interval, next idle date, notification handler, and modify permission.
Users can now get and set the timing options from any handler in their script or even from scripts outside their application. The new feature lets you set the idle interval, idle frequency, and next idle interval using fractions of a second, and even disable the idle handler indefinitely by setting the idle interval to zero.
Also, the Idle Interval Scripting Addition allows scheduling of the idle handler as a one-shot timer that is only invoked once at an arbitrary date and time. Whether you need an idle interval less than one second or an event-driven invocation, this scriptable feature offers a great level of flexibility.
Furthermore, the scripting addition provides notification when anyone modifies the timing options, restricts access to the timing options to only the developer or authorized personnel, and is easily loaded from inside the application.
The latest version of the Idle Interval scripting addition is a Universal Binary built with Xcode 2.4.1 was released. With its incredible features, the Idle Interval scripting addition offers a great way to upgrade your AppleScript Studio applications.
