Do you ever wanted to open a file while logged in a remote server via ssh on your local TextWrangler/BBEdit? Now that’s possible!

TextWrangler/BBEdit can open files per sftp (via ssh). This set of tools allows it you to launch edit on a remote server, but your local TextWrangler/BBEdit opens the file.

BBEdit: I haven’t tested it, but it should also work. (I do not own BBEdit)

I was wondering whether I should use int, long or NSInteger. It took me a bit but I figured it out!

On OS X and iOS the following table shows you the the size of the types:

char       8 bit
short     16 bit
int       32 bit
long      system size
long long 64 bit

So, on 32bit OS X long is 32 bit, on 64bit OS X it’s 64 bit (unsure for iOS).

NSInteger has always the size of an pointer.

Often asked: “Use int or NSInteger?”. Answer: use NSInteger for pointers, ok usually you should use the pointer type itself, and for everything else use the size you require.

If you want exactly 8 bits, use int8_t for sigend or uint8_t for unsigned, for an integer which has at least those bits, use (u)int_least8_t (analogue for 16/32/64 bits).

Performance: you can use (u)int_fast8_t for the fastest type, which can hold (u)int_8_t. But since (u)int_leastY_t and (u)int_fastY_t are defined as (u)intY_t on OS X and iOS it should make no difference. I use the direct types for when all the bits are used, and the fast types when I don’t use exactly but less bits.

At last: don’t forget the LL or ULL suffix for 64bit constants (you can use (U)INT64_C(num) for always the correct suffix, also for 8/16/32), and the “%lld” in a formatted string for 64bit variables.
(example: NSLog(@"number: %lld", 1LL << 48);)

If you have more information or maybe corrections, please post a comment.

Can you please add also my currency?

The short answer is No.
The reason is that the list is not mine and
that's why I cannot change it. But you can add your own currency.

How do the input work?

Since version 1.2 two different input models are available.

• live input: after each key you've pressed
  the value will be updated. (default since 1.2)
• input box: it's a regular input box, the conversion
  take place after pressing return. (the only existing model below 1.2)

The input model can be selected in the preferences. (Checkmark behind "Old Input")

How do the 'live input' work?

That's simple: just enter a value, and while you're typing the result will be displayed.
By entering a three letter code you can change the current currency. (e.g. EUR)
After RETURN or EQUAL (=) the value will be overweitten with the next input. ESC clears the field immediate.
TAB changes betrween the input fields (do not work correct in a browser)

How do the 'input box' work?

That's simple: just enter a value in a field of your choice and press enter.
All characters, in the number, except digits (0-9) and the decimal point (comma, point or space, depending on your settings) will be ignored.
Additional to the number you can enter one or two three letter codes to change the currencies.
E.g. "10EUR=USD" will calculate how much U.S. Dollars are 10 Euros.
Also possible: "10EUR" and "10=USD" to change only one currency.

How can I add a custom currency?

That's simple: go to the prefs, and scroll in the left box with all the currencies
to the bottom. There you can enter your currency: The name, a three letter code (which must have three
leters and not "XXX") and the ratio to any other known currency.

Is there an auto update?

Easy Currency tries to download the latest rates each day from the server.
It does that only if the Widget is shown. (or if it's running in a browser)
In the file with the rates is also an information, if a new version of EC is available.
(You will be notified - no automatic installation)

What's about security?

Easy Currency do not alter/create/delete any file on your systen.
And it's reading only the files which came with it. There is no access to your system, outside the Widget's directory.

More informations?

Here you'll find more informations, for example how
to use it in a browser...

Easy Currency Widget

It's a currency converter with 60 currencies (including former euro)
Localization: English, German

Calculates the proportion and inverse proportion rule of three. Easy to use.
Localization: English, German

Localization

If you want to localize a Widget, open the Widget with an right click (ctrl click) on the Widget and select "Show Package Contents".
Then open the "defaults.js" with your favorite (UTF-8 capable) Texteditor (I use TextWrangler) and follow the instrunctions.
After finishing (and testing) feel free to mail me the file and I'll publish it with (or as) the next version of that Widget.
