IPaste: use iSilo with other browsers

[tuhlmann]

Hi,
I would like to announce version 1.0 beta of our new software IPaste which can be found at www.agynamix.com.

IPaste (Intelligent Paste) enables you to work with your beloved Palm faster and more efficient. It is designed as a traybar application waiting for user action. Plugins are registered with the tray menu and allow several features combine under one roof.

At the moment there is a memo plugin, allowing you to paste clipboard text as a memo and insert it into your memo DB with the next hotsync. This works whether you use the Palm Desktop(TM) or MS Outlook(TM) as your notes application.

Another one is the iSilo plugin. It allows you to either quick configure an iSilo grab or use a JavaScriptlet to send an URL from every browser (that understands JavaScript in it's bookmarks) to the plugin and make it grab this page. Whenever you see a page you would like to grab, make sure the IPaste application is running, then click the bookmark. You should see the link and the Title of the page appearing in the iSilo plugin. You can now adjust the properties and then let it do the job. In the background iSiloXC converts your page.

IPaste is in beta stage so please expect bugs. But I would appreciate your feedback about it. At the moment IPaste is written and tested on Windows and uses Palm's hotsync mechanism for the memo plugin but because it's Java/SWT it's fairly easy to port.

To use IPaste you need to have a JRE installed (tested with 1.4.2, a 1.3.1 version should also do). You can get java from the Sun(TM) website.

Tell me what you think and what suggestions you have.

greetings,
Torsten.

hehe, someone suggested a similar concept a while back. I'm glad to see a better clipper was developed (even if by a third party).

Oh yeah. You forgot to tell us where we can try out[1] this new application and what platform it is for[2].

[1] I assumed (correctly) that it was at http://agynamix.com based on your email address. More specifically, it can be found here.

[2] I assumed (correctly) that it was for Microsoft Windows based on its status as the dominant operating system.

Once again, thanks for your work.

[tuhlmann]

Thanks for the hint. I included the missing parts in the announcement.

One thing this lacks is proxy support.

[tuhlmann]

Hi,

yes it's true there is no direct proxy support. I'm gonna incorporate this.
On my setting it works though:
I have isilo.exe and isiloxc.exe installed in the same folder. Using the graphical isilo, I have set the proxy settings there. When I then execute isiloxc it uses the proxy settings from isilo.

But thank you very much for the hint.
Is anyone else testing the program?

I would like to receive feature requests as what you see important for such a tool...

regards,
Torsten.

It was me, I suggested QEX or PDAWave, this was during the great IE scare a couple of months ago.
With Windows completely reinstalled and patched to the hilt, I've stuck with isilo, with QEX as a fallback when using mozilla.
I am playing with AGYPaste at the moment, I'll keep everyone posted.

Looking into the proxy option for AGY Paste. IsiloXC can read and IXS file, example below.

----8<------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<iSiloXSettings>
<Proxy>
<!-- yes or no to Proxy? -->
<UseProxy value="yes"/>
<!-- Set Proxy Address here -->
<Address>123.231.1.100</Address>
<!-- Set Port Number here -->
<Port value="80"/>
</Proxy>
</iSiloXSettings>
----8<------

Could this be read into AGYPaste? - the isiloxc line would be something like
isiloxc -o proxy.ixs -x filename.ixl

[tuhlmann]

Yes. It's in the works. Thing was in the meantime I got a neat Linux Server, Router and WLan AP to set up. Which gives me now a wonderful infrastructure to employ certain software development techniques like continous integration, subversion version control or project control with GForge...

To make it short, it's coming... check back on Monday...

Thanks,
Torsten.

getting an issue with beta4

testing it out with our proxy here at work and have pointed it to isiloxc on a network shared drive.
when I try and grab the site it pops up with
An Error occured executing iSiloXC:
c:\Documents and settings\rmc\.AgyPaste\isilo_settings.vm (system cannot find the file specified).

That file is not there. I presume that it is the config storage file.
Content of folder is isilo_template.vm, isilo_tmp.ixl and agypastecfg.xml.
