Sorry it’s been a bit quiet on here recently. I’ve been busy making my final project for uni work propperly.
I’ve also been busy eating toast.
And drinking tea from my apple mug.
I’ve also unfortunately had to read lots…
of pointless…
books.
But, I’ve finally got it working now, and am half way through the report. The end is in sight!
Firstly, I’d like to say this wasn’t my idea. Mat came up with the initial idea, and did most of the leg work (and came up with that oh so trendy name 
). I just provided the applescript that made it work.
Right, now I’ve absolved myself of all responsibility, time for business. On Flickr there’s no way to directly reply to a comment, so the general practise is to show who you are replying to by putting “@username:” before your comment.
What Replyr does is get a list of all usernames on the page currently active in Safari - no other browsers are supported since this uses Automator (usually the people that have commented before you, but there are some odd cases where it pulls other user names. I might fix it in a later release). It then shows you a pop up where you can choose which username you want to reply to and then copies it to the clipboard.
This gets really useful when you bind it to a Quicksilver hot key, so your hands don’t ever need to leave the keyboard.
Included in the zip file is the original Automator workflow so you can see what it’s doing, or there’s a pre packaged application with a nice icon ready to be dropped into your applications folder.
Things that will break this:
I’ve just uploaded a version of TweetIM that should fix any problems you’re having with it not updating your status in Adium. There aren’t any other fixes so it shouldn’t break anything (hopefully!).
Let me know if it doesn’t work in any way. You can get it over at the original post. Enjoy!
