!alabout
What it does:
Shows the About dialog
The about dialog tells you who wrote Audiator Live! (which would be me), who I thanked for helping me write it, and most importantly for you, what version of Audiator Live! you currently have installed.
!alconfig
What it does:
Shows the main configuration dialog (defaulting to the Sounds tab)
This command launches the main configuration dialog where you can control everything about Audiator Live!.
!alsounds
What it does:
Shows the main configuration dialog, open at the Sounds tab
The sounds tab is where you can check out all the sounds you currently have installed, preview them, and send them to your contacts.
!aloptions
What it does:
Shows the main configuration dialog, open at the Options tab
The options tab is where you can control how Audiator Live! behaves, such as whether sounds will be played while you are busy, and how much detail the log records.
!alaccesslist
What it does:
Shows the main configuration dialog, open at the Access List tab
The Access List tab allows you to define who can and who cannot send you Audiator Live! sounds. You can either list specific users who are allowed to send you sounds, or list all the users who cannot send you sounds.
!aldatabase
What it does:
Shows the main configuration dialog, open to the Database tab
The Database tab is where you can manage the list of installed sounds in your Audiator Live! database. You can create/rename/remove/import/export SoundPacks, or add/edit/delete individual sounds.
!alother
What it does:
Shows the main configuration dialog, open to the Other tab
The Other tab holds miscellaneous odds and sods. The log viewer can be found here, as well as links to the Audiator homepage, help files, and SoundPacks database.
!alrehash
What it does:
Forces a reload of the internal database
This command mainly exists for myself, but I'm far too lazy to remove it for every release version, so here it is. Ordinarily Audiator Live! will read and write to its database file every time you interact with the configuration, or start/stop the script. Any changes you make to the database file while the script is running will be ignored and deleted. This command forces a change to be recognised by the script.
!aldebug
What it does:
Toggles the visibility of the Plus! debug window
If you are a developer, and have the Debugging options enabled in Plus!, then this command will make the Debug window for Audiator Live! visibile if it was previously hidden, or hidden if it was previously visible. It saves you having to open the contact list window and reaching for the menu just to show the debug window.
