and Bill Cheeseman today announced the release of version 2.0 of their<br />
popular product, PreFab UI Browser. UI Browser is now a Universal Binary<br />
that runs natively both on Power PC Macintosh computers and the new Intel<br />
Mac Pro, Mac mini, iMac, MacBook Pro and MacBook.</p>
<p>UI Browser 2.0 contains many new features and improvements, including an<br />
enhanced Screen Reader that displays all of the actions, attributes and<br />
notifications supported by the UI element currently under the mouse, in real<br />
time, as you move the mouse around the screen over any application.</p>
<p>UI Browser 2.0 requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer, and it supports all of<br />
the new GUI Scripting and Accessibility enhancements introduced by Apple in<br />
Tiger.</p>
<p>UI Browser is the "ultimate assistant" for Apple's GUI Scripting and<br />
Accessibility technologies. It helps you to explore, manipulate and monitor<br />
the user interface of most Mac OS X applications running on your computer.<br />
With the push of a button, it also generates AppleScript statements to<br />
control even non-scriptable applications using GUI Scripting. No other<br />
utility provides all of the information you need in order to write scripts<br />
for GUI Scripting.</p>
<p>Download a free, full-featured 30-day trial version of UI Browser 2.0 now at<br />
<a href="http://prefabsoftware.com/uibrowser/" title="http://prefabsoftware.com/uibrowser/">http://prefabsoftware.com/uibrowser/</a>. This trial version will work even if<br />
you tried an older version of UI Browser more than 30 days ago.</p>
<p>New customers may purchase UI Browser 2.0 for $55, with quantity discounts<br />
available. UI Browser 2.0 is a free upgrade for customers who purchased an<br />
earlier version during 2006. There is a $10 upgrade fee if you purchased UI<br />
Browser before January 1, 2006, to help us continue to support and enhance<br />
UI Browser. (Even a free upgrade requires you to obtain a new registration<br />
key. UI Browser 2.0 will work for 30 days as a full-featured trial version<br />
until you obtain your new key.)</p>
<p>Selected New features and Bug Fixes in UI Browser 2.0:</p>
<p>* UI Browser is now a Universal Binary that runs natively on Intel Macs.</p>
<p>* UI Browser now requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer.</p>
<p>* UI Browser now includes an enhanced Screen Reader that reports on the UI<br />
element currently under the mouse, in real time, as you move the mouse<br />
around the screen over any application. When you switch to the Screen<br />
Reader, it fades slowly into view and all other UI Browser windows fade away<br />
to get out of the way of other applications' UI elements. Click the Screen<br />
Reader's "Auto Motive mode" button to make it semi-transparent and cause it<br />
to move out of your way automatically when you move the mouse over a UI<br />
element behind the Screen Reader. Command-click the Find in Browser button<br />
to close the Screen Reader, and the other UI Browser windows reappear with<br />
the element under the mouse selected in the main browser window.</p>
<p>* UI Browser's description of every UI element now includes its AppleScript<br />
identifier and index in parentheses, as well as its Accessibility role<br />
description and title, if any.</p>
<p>* Double-clicking a UI element in UI Browser's main browser view now<br />
highlights that element on the screen, bringing the target application and<br />
the window containing the element to the front in order to give you an<br />
unimpeded view of the highlighted element.</p>
<p>* UI Browser's highlighting rectangle now snaps to the selected UI element's<br />
new position or size on the screen when the element is moved or resized, so<br />
that the element and the highlighting rectangle remain synchronized.</p>
<p>* UI Browser's AppleScript menu includes a new menu item, "Reference to<br />
Application Process".</p>
<p>* When UI Browser's AppleScript preferences are set to "Send script to<br />
script editor," scripts generated using the AppleScript menu are now sent to<br />
the target script editor using URL Protocol Messaging. The AppleScript URL<br />
Protocol is supported by Script Editor 2, Script Debugger 4 and Smile 2.65<br />
and newer. Because of this change, UI Browser is now able to send generated<br />
scripts to Script Debugger 4.0 even though it is not yet scriptable.</p>
<p>* UI Browser's Attributes drawer now enables users to set the date and time<br />
value of a standard date picker in a target application.</p>
<p>* UI Browser's Attributes drawer now enables users to set the values of<br />
array attributes that are modifiable.</p>
<p>* A new preference has been added to the Notifications pane of UI Browser's<br />
Preferences window to allow you to register to observe any notification from<br />
any UI element. This new preference is intended for application developers<br />
testing their implementations of the Accessibility API and is normally<br />
turned off. It enables a developer to verify exactly what notifications are<br />
issued by a particular UI element.</p>
<p>* Double-clicking a UI element in UI Browser's View Array and Set Array<br />
windows now selects that UI element in UI Browser's main browser view, as a<br />
shortcut for the Find in Browser button.</p>
<p>* UI Browser now reports Accessibility errors by presenting error alert<br />
messages. Error reporting is intended for application developers testing<br />
their implementations of the Accessibility API and is normally turned off.</p>
<p>* The generated AppleScript script for "Click Selected Element by Position"<br />
now works correctly.</p>
<p>* The generated AppleScript reference to a known UI element having no<br />
corresponding property in the System Events dictionary is now assigned the<br />
correct index.</p>
<p>* The values of objects contained in an array attribute are now always<br />
displayed in the view and set array window, even if the objects are not UI<br />
element objects.</p>
<p>* New notifications added in the Notifications pane of the Preferences<br />
window are now listed in the Notifications drawer, and they can now be<br />
registered and observed in the Notification Log window. This feature is<br />
intended for application developers testing their implementations of the<br />
accessibility API. It allows UI Browser to observe notifications that are<br />
not part of the documented Accessibility API.</p>
<p>* UI Browser hot keys are now forwarded to the active application, in case<br />
the active application implements the hot key as a keyboard shortcut.</p>
<p>UI Browser 2.0 includes many other new features and bug fixes. Open Version<br />
History in UI Browser's Help menu for details.</p>
