new version (1.4.1) of FINGSCAN posted in the download section
http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/filelib/index.php?keywords=fing
bugs fixed:
- When an IP number changes for an existing device, FING sometimes keeps the old one in the data file. FINGSCAN used the wrong one if the new IP number was greater than the old one.That becomes a real problem if you for example replace the router and every things gets a new IPnumber. Half of them would be handled incorrectly. (they always stay in "down" status)
New:
-Variable that indicates that a new IP number was assigned to an existing device it contains the variable Name of the device (e.g. ipDevice15). This can be used to set a trigger that creates email etc. see example in readme
-If a variable has a new IP number "newIPNumber" gets attached to to variable contents.
- FINGSCANINSTALL asks for you password and passes it to FINGSCAN. No need anymore to enter password after reboot etc.
- FINGSCANINSTALL is now an applescript and not and APP: in Mavericks the security schema has become more restrictive. If an application downloaded from the internet is from an unidentified developer (as I am) you have to open up preferences go into security and allow fingscaninstall to run. By using an applescript in uncompiled form that problem does not arise. FINGSCANINSTALL will set a flag to allow FINGSCAN to run without this problem
-Install: download the zip file, open up container (click) and click on FINGSCANINSTALL. Appple script opens up and you press the "run" button.
- added Variable iDevsDebug. Default is 1, if set higher more gets written into the log. This only gets read when ring starts, changing while it is running does not change log file output.
- some more examples on how to use in the readme.txt file in the zip download file.
