Quick Status |
| Submitted By Diatribe |
DescriptionQuick Away is now Quick StatusIt's for all those situations where you need to quickly set an away, brb or available status. It also gives you the possibility to have the status returned to the person(s) you're chatting with. Commands: /brb - will set your away to "be right back" and will write the same to the person you're speaking to /otp - the same just with "on the phone" /b - this will set your status to available again and will write back Adding a space and an all to the commands will return the message to every open message window. Like: /brb all The following are a bit different: /aw {text} - will set your away to the text in the parentheses /aw re {text} - will set your away to the text in the parentheses and return the text to the current person you are chatting with /aw all {text} - will set your away to the text in the parentheses and return the text to all open message windows /av {text} - will set your available message to the text in the parentheses I hope you like it. If you have any suggestions for improvement or more messages let me know. ChangesQuick Away is now Quick StatusAdded custom away/available settings. If you have an earlier version of Quick Away installed you should go in your library/application support/adium 2.0/scripts folder and delete that version upon installing this one.

# by arisa on 10/28/05 at 00:17:49I'm downloading the script now, but I'd love to see some room for user customization -- putting in your own shortcuts and the like. Just a thought. Interesting script, and definitely handy in theory, though. ^_^ Thanks!
# by superpants312 on 11/08/05 at 12:36:11I loaded it, but I don't think it's working for me. If I /brb, all that shows up to the other person is "/brb"
# by Diatribe on 11/08/05 at 14:17:11Hmmm, I had similar problems during development of the script. Did you have an earlier version installed? For me reinstalling Adium fixed it. I don't know why but it worked. The script itself should be fine. Just to make sure I'll redownload it later today and try this version although I am pretty sure I am using the same version at home. Let me know if it still doesn't work for you after reinstalling and re-adding the script.
# by michael on 11/14/05 at 17:26:29/b is too easy to do by accident IMO but this is nice don't get me wrong. what if i were to write about my "co-axial/bicord extention" lead. (yes i did just make that up, but look the point is it would trigger the script, and people dont generally remember to type spaces and other accurate punctuation during IMs) /back isn't too taxing as an alternative... or you could use the %_foobar type script that many others use...
# by Darkmaster on 11/29/05 at 18:36:26But it doesn't work :(, my status doesn't change
# by Diatribe on 11/29/05 at 20:18:27Hmm, that's weird I have tested it on two Macs and just again on mine. All of the commands work. Which ones are not working for you? Do you have another script installed that uses the same function (brb script, quick away, or others)?
# by Diatribe on 11/29/05 at 20:22:56The accounts in the EMD show me as away too, but if I put myself on my buddy list or check via iChat or ask friends, my status does in fact change. The new status has in fact a check mark in the general status in the EMD but the separate statuses show the old status. Seems to be a bug in Adium but shouldn't affect the functionality of this script.
# by Diatribe on 12/09/05 at 12:29:31I am currently working on version 2.0 which will set the msn status too, let you insert a countdown to let people know when you'll be back and other nifty things. I hope to finish it this year, so stay tuned.
# by Diatribe on 02/22/07 at 15:41:16Thanks for the kind words. Just to let everyone know, the scripting functionality in Adium is rocky at best right now and v2.0 will have to wait until this is fixed. Sorry for creating false anticipation. I still plan on updating this script but it is dependent on the scripting support in Adium.
# by HuoMaKe on 04/01/07 at 23:18:52I put up a new script derived from this, want to thank the developer for the code and point you all to it, it's called Show Status.
# by ndgreer on 08/28/08 at 15:10:28I just installed this and it doesn't work for me. I'm using version 1.3 and I don't have any other applescripts installed. Any idea why it doesn't work?
