Touch

version 1.0

Touch is a Tracker add-on that updates the modification time of the selected files. It's basically a nice way of doing what touch does in a Terminal window.

Touch also works as a standalone application; drop files on the Touch icon. Double-clicking the Touch icon will display some information about the add-on.

Installation

  1. Drop the Touch file from obj.x86 (for x86 systems) or obj.ppc (for PowerPC systems) onto the Drop Touch here! folder.
  2. Uh, that's it, you're done.

Using Touch

  1. To use Touch, select one or more files in a Tracker window. Then click your secondary mouse and choose "Touch" from the Add-Ons menu.
  2. Uh, that's it, you're done.

You can also drop selected files on the Touch icon.

The source code is distributed under the terms of the included LICENSE file, which is easy to understand.

Credits

I did it all myself, but I looked at the sample code for a Tracker add-on once upon a time. Thanks to whoever at Be, Inc. originally wrote that!

Also thanks to the drifting realtime clock in Fred Fish's CVS server, which prompted me to write this. :-) Nothing like checking out files that make thinks were created in the future.

Shouts out to my wife Lynette for putting up with me, all the cool folks at Be, Inc. and my partners in crime at Next Generation Entertainment.
