I know I'm a few weeks late on this at this point.

I took notes on this presentation, but maybe I wrote down something wrong. I think the presenter when he was talking about cocoa dialog and terminal notifier mentioned something like pleasewait.app. Does anyone remember that? I can't seem to find anything called pleasewait.app using google or my google powers aren't strong enough.

What I need to do is have something pop up and sort of take up the screen while some processes happens in the back.

Thanks ahead of time!
Bob

Hi guys!

I posted the source code with READ-MEs how to leverage the PleaseWait and ProcessComplete UI applications.

You can find them here: https://github.com/macbrained/User-Interfaces

Hi. Since I wasn't there, I'm speaking a bit blindly, as I have no idea what was presented, but are you sure it wasn't code within the script to do this? Such as using the ampersand (&) to push a process like a dialog into the background?

Hey Everyone,

I believe what @macbrained (Arek) was referring to, was an app he built called "Please Wait," that would be called when a user decided to choose an option that required a progress bar. I will contact him and see if he can shed light on it.

Thanks,
Tom
