Hi,

I've programmed a Mac App which turns your Mac into a development assistent,
alerting you when you'll have to switch the chemicals.
It's somewhat tailored to my use cases with the Jobo CPE2 (E6 processing).
Note that the display is huge because I'm using it from a distance.

You can easily add your own process times by simply adding a CSV file.

I'm giving this program away for free as an open source program,
so you can even make your own changes if needed.
If you find it somewhat useful, donations are welcome.

Good idea, Martin.

Any chance to see the application written in C rather than Objective C? I'm running linux in an old pc and don't have Cocoa...

Sorry, that would mean a complete rewrite from scratch...

Hi Martin,
Really nice app!
Something that might enhance it, for it to roll over to the next item and start it automatically.
In the preferences, you can put an offset that user defines for the amount of time it takes them to load and unload the chemistry.
That way it can act like the Jobo ATLs do.

Thanks again for your time in this!

Thanks for the idea, I'll add that in a future version!

Really nice and useful app. I'll go with the Ian Mazursky idea and add the possibility to open several timers to allow process different film simultaneously.

Thanks

Thanks for the input, Jose!

New version, with a more tolerant parser (for the CSV process files),
allowing ISO8859 character encoding (in addition to default UTF8),
and DOS-style line endings (CR LF).
