Find an alternative to polling #3

Closed fpg1503 closed 6 years ago

Use something such as a KAUTH listener to enable real life usage.

KrauseFx commented 7 years ago

Yeah, I agree that would be nice 👍

cesarferreira commented 7 years ago

It looks like polling is overkill

NSWorkspaceWillLaunchApplication also looks like a good alternative

SebastianHeyneman commented 7 years ago

What is wrong with polling? I'm not familiar with this stuff, I just want itunes to stop popping up.

(And, for me, my headphone port is whacky -- so whenever my headphone jack wiggles, it opens up iTunes)

Just to be clear -- it says in the description the repo is a joke. Does that mean that I shouldn't use it?

KrauseFx commented 7 years ago

@SeabassWells No, the code works just fine, you can use it 👍 polling is just not as efficient and clean as subscribing to changes.

Thanks for the sweet Ruby script @KrauseFx!

You inspired me to create a Swift version over my lunch using NSWorkspaceWillLaunchApplication as mentioned by @fpg1503.

If anyone is interested, the source code (and binary) it can be found at: noTunes

Awesome, thank you.

Given what Tom said, is noTunes a bit more efficient?

I think so. I rewrote noTunes into a swift script to quit a different app, and I've been running it in the background and when I take a look at Activity Monitor it doesn't seem to take much CPU at all.

There is something coming very soon for the 1y anniversary, will close the issue for now 👍
