Where is the file with the nicknames? and is it editable?

thanks

[kw123]

you will need to edit the variables directly: use the "column" nick-name
or enter it when a new device is detected (that requires the doNotAsk variable to be "ask" )

Thanks for the reply and the work involved in creating it.

New version 2.1.2
posted on this website http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/fil ... words=fing

New:
-- added Save, Restore, Sort command option in fingscan, see read me.txt
This allows to save ipDevicexx to a file and restore from there. Additional option "Sort" will sort the IpDevicexx variables with increasing IP number.
-- improved listing, much nicer columns ..

THIS WILL BE THE LAST APPLECSRIPT version (just if there are bugs I will fix). The next version should be in PY.


Have a happy new year.

I am also running OSX Mavericks and am getting the following message.

FINGSCAN can not communicate with indigo, please re-start indigo

I have followed your instructions and restarted the server but still no Indigo communications.
Any ideas!

Thanks Randy

I got it working and several times of install. Looks lie the issue is the security setting. The way it worked was with option 2.

Thanks, This is well done and needed!!

[kw123]

it likely works because you have restarted indigo manually, not the password mode.

so the next time you boot you will likely find the same issue.

Yes once I restarted it is not working. Keep getting the "Cannot communicate message"

Any ideas?
Is this just a Maverick issue?

Thanks!

[kw123]

this is mavericks... I have this with several applescripts. only solution that works for me is to restart indigo server within indigo several times.

ps the fingscan.py module is in final testing...

Thanks Karl!

I will wait for the .py module.
Happy to help test if needed.

here the first plugin version.

could some one test it?

steps
1. save your old data: in fingscan.app version 2 set ipDevsCommand to 'Save'
2, download plugin
3. unzip
4. click / install plugin
5. should start immediately
6. go to plugins/fingscan/configure
7. set password to your password
8. save

watch and observe.

in case you want to go back:
1. disable fingscan plugin
3. restart fingscan applescript version
4. set ipDevsCommand to 'Restore'

if you find some issues, please let me know.
