So close to a release

One obstacle is in the way and it involves AppleScript and do shell script.

The screenshot (StrawHousePig - iTunesDSremote_screen2.png) is the current visual state of the project.


Features
  • Album art display
  • Refresh at track change
  • (semi) Faithful iTunes like interface *
  • Included AppleScript for extracting artwork


to do
  • Playlist "browser" **
  • Sort by (track, artist, album) **
  • Search **
  • EQ selection **


* The play button turns to a pause button depending on the state of iTunes, just as iTunes. The volume "slider" displays current volume. Though a method to change volume is included, actual sliding of the slider is not. It is for display purposes, only.

** These features have not been tested or even written. Osascript's ability to execute such AppleScript commands without the approval of windowmanager or loginwindow is unknown (and unlikely) at this time.

Once a solution or decision regarding the check for existence of already extracted artwork is reached, a pre-release will be made.
