AIR applications and Flash ignore horizontal scrolling in OS X.

In OS X, there is system-wide support for multidirectional (horizontal and vertical) scrolling. On laptops, this is accessed by moving two fingers together on the touchpad. On any mac, this is accessible through the 2-dimensional scroll ball on the mighty mouse.

Flash/AIR recognizes the vertical component of this motion just fine, but completely ignores the horizontal component, even when interacting with a UI element that has both a horizontal and a vertical scroll bar.

I've trashed the file and restarted RescueTime. However, it's still spitting that error message into its log every two seconds.

Also, I've occasionally gotten an 'AppleScript Error' popup reading "Finder got an error: Can't continue log_error. (-1708)" that repeats until I restart RescueTime.

As for the CPU usage, it seems that the per-scan cpu usage is simply growing linearly with the size of the error log. (Appending the error message to the log, I would presume.)

1410: Error: -1700. Can’t make "Sleep Results" into type integer.

The following message keeps repeating in my error log (every two seconds, my scan interval):

2007-12-18 17:16:56
1410: Error: -1700. Can’t make "Sleep Results" into type integer.

The collector is also continuously burning at least 3% cpu, and I've occasionally observed it using 80+% for extended periods of time.

Please add support for OmniWeb

I use OmniWeb almost exclusively for my day-to-day browsing, and would really like to see support for it added to the mac data collector.

Here's the basic code needed to get the url of the current tab from OmniWeb:

tell application "OmniWeb"
set currentWorkspace to active workspace
set currentBrowser to browser 1 of currentWorkspace
set currentURL to address of currentBrowser
end tell

Limiting window_title on a per-application basis would be the most useful.

Erik Swanson replied on November 28, 2007 14:03 to the question "privacy : limit the data uploaded to your server" in RescueTime:

I definitely second this. There is absolutely no reason the os username needs to be known to RescueTime, and full window titles can fall under the the umbrella of "extremely sensitive information".

I use OmniWeb, a WebKit derivative with its own additions. It has a pretty extensive Applescript dictionary, so adding support for it shouldn't be too hard, and I'd really like to see that happen. :)
