Monitor multiple devices #6

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Proximity should have an option to monitor more than one device.

Ditto, it would be great to have different scripts for each device that's 
registered.

Same here (and using the star) Here's my use case:
imagine having recognition for > 1 device. I could program Adium to switch 
based on which computer (say a 
desktop w/ large monitor and a small laptop) I wanted to view as priority when 
the two came in range of one 
another and switch to the laptop when the two were out of range of each other. 
Yes, I can do this now, but 
then I don't get the even cooler "log me into/outof computer" automagic when my 
iPhone's in range of my 
computer(s).

agree the UI will be somewhat tricky, but you guys figured this out...I've 
confidence you can do it! :)

And yes, I've donated...will donate more if this can happen.

I agree. For the computer to know not only what device but which devices are in 
proximity allows for a 
slew of fun stuff! 

I would love to see this feature in the next update

I wrote some of this on 
http://code.google.com/p/reduxcomputing-proximity/issues/detail?id=4
this post..

Probably should of read all posts before replying (still havn't). Feel free to 
contact me if you want my version. I hope the most that the developer does it 
himself.. :)

I found a quick workaround for multiple devices... more of a hack but it works

1. duplicate the proximity app and rename the copy proximity2
2. open the package in the finder (control click then show package content)
3. open the info.plist (requires dev tool for the plist editor app)
4. change the CFBundleIdentifier to "com.reduxcomputing.Proximity2" (just add 2 
at the end)

now you can launch the second copy and it will have it's own set of preferences 
that you can pair to a different device with their own (or same) in/out scripts

HTH
