The application formerly known as Hydra (TAFKAH)
Somehow my influence has apparantly had an effect on Sam. Not only did he finally get a 17” PowerBook, but he subsequently switched to Interarchy and BBEdit for his FTP client and text editor. Since we work together, many times on the same project, we’ve been trying for the past couple of days to set up the application formerly known as Hydra (now SubEthaEdit) to work with Interarchy the same way, via AppleScript.
We finally got frustrated at Hydra’s lack of AppleScript support, and moved on to other things. But I wrote to Peter N Lewis, Interarchy’s author, via the discussion list (a first for me), and he pointed out that if I were to set Internet Config’s ftp-editor value to SubEthaEdit, intelligent FTP clients (Interarchy, Transmit, NetFinder) would use it exactly the same way as BBEdit. Hooray for AppleEvents, and kudos to Bare Bones for opening their ODB Editor Suite.
