FastScripts 2.3.3
FastScripts - Menu item quickly runs AppleScripts more>>
FastScripts is a utility for quickly and elegantly running scripts from whichever application you happen to be running at the moment.
Main features:
Global and Application-Specific Keyboard Shortcuts
- Execute scripts from anywhere on your Mac, without leaving the keyboard! Anything that FastScripts can execute from its menu can be configured to run quickly in response to your desired key combination. Keyboard shortcuts defined for your application-specific scripts are only effective while that application is active, so you can define the same shortcut to do different things in different applications. Total customization!
FastScripts also supports a keyboard shortcut for accessing the menu. Any script in the FastScripts menu can be selected by keyboard navigation. Hold down the option or shift key to edit or reveal the script instead of executing it.
Convenient menu-modifier shortcuts
- When you get an inclination to edit a script or reveal it in the finder, you no longer have to go digging through folders in the Finder. FastScripts makes it super-easy to edit and reveal script files: just hold down a modifier key as you select menu items. Shift key to reveal an item and option key to edit it.
Smart Switching
- When you execute a script, FastScripts switches the application context only when appropriate. Other launcher utilities switch context regardless of the scripts functionality, and usually neglect to switch back when the script is finished running! With FastScripts, focus remains on the application youre working on. If the executed script needs to put up a window, the context is switched to the script. When you dismiss the dialog, FastScripts switches you back to the application you were working in!
Elegant application-specific script support
- FastScripts is designed to display your scripts in as convenient and "natural" a form as possible. Apples application-specific script support puts the scripts for the current app all the way at the bottom of the menu, making it harder to navigate to than any of the other scripts! In FastScripts, the application--specific scripts are displayed prominently at the top of the menu, right where you would expect to find them. Starting in FastScripts 2.1, application-specific functionality extends to keyboard shortcuts, as well!
Custom Menu Organization
- Starting in version 2.2.5, FastScripts will arrange menu items in a user-specified order based on a common convention followed by BBEdit and others. If the file or folder name starts with any two characters and a ), then the characters are used to control the relative placement of the item. For instance, a script named "AA)Zounds" will show up as "Zounds" in the menu but be placed above an item named "Apples". FastScripts will also respect the "menu separator" convention - when a folders name ends in "-***", its contents are ignored and a menu separator line is inserted where its name would ordinarily appear.
Version restrictions:
- 1 month or 100 script executions trial.
Enhancements:
- Allow return, tab, escape as keyboard shortcuts - the only key not supported is "delete"
- Fix a weird "only works every other time" bug with scripts that use UI Scripting for keystrokes
- Allow dragging of FastScripts note windows by holding command while clicking

Clipboard Scripts 1.0
Clipboard Scripts - A group of AppleScripts designed to automate small tasks that users perform frequently more>>
Clipboard Scripts use the clipboard as the basis for the tasks they perform. The clipboard is a part of the Mac OS which holds data when copying and pasting in different applications. When you select text in a document, and choose "Copy" from the "Edit" menu, the text is copied to the clipboard. The AppleScripts that make up "Clipboard Scripts" are built to perform various tasks to text data on the clipboard.
Clipboard Scripts are intended to be triggered from the Apple "Script Menu", which is included with Mac OS X. You may need to "activate" the script menu, if you havent done so already. This can be done by double clicking on the "Script Menu.menu" item in the "Applications > AppleScript" folder on your Mac OS X computer. Once you have done this, a script icon should appear in your menu bar at the top of the screen.
Scripts used in the scripts menu may be triggered from within any application.
Youll notice that a fairly wide range of scripts are installed by default. "Clipboard Scripts" help to extend that base set by providing additional useful functionality.
This solution includes the following scripts:
Add Prefix - Prompts for a prefix, and adds that prefix to the beginning of each paragraph on the clipboard. The modified text is then placed back on the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Add Suffix - Prompts for a suffix, and adds that suffix to the end of each paragraph on the clipboard. The modified text is then placed back on the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Convert to Lowercase - Converts the text on the clipboard to lowercase format. The converted text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Convert to Sentence Case - Converts the text on the clipboard to sentence case format. The converted text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Convert to Title Case - Converts the text on the clipboard to title case format. The converted text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Convert to Uppercase - Converts the text on the clipboard to upper case format. The converted text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Display Length - Counts the characters or paragraphs of the text on the clipboard, and displays the count to the user.
Extract URLs - Attempts to extract any URLs from the text on the clipboard, including URLs beginning with "www", "http://", "ftp", as well as email addresses. The list of URLs is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Format Number - Formats a number on the clipboard in a specified manner, adding a prefix, commas or other delimiters, and more. The formatted number is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location. For example, this script could be used for format the number "1995.75" as "$1,995.75".
Record Path - Copies paths to selected files or folders in the Finder to the clipboard. You might use this script to record a path to a folder on your company server. Then, you could email this folder path to your boss, who can trigger the "Open Path" Clipboard script to automatically navigate to it.
Open Path - Opens file or folder paths that have been copied to the clipboard. This script could be used if someone emailed you the path to a file or folder on your company server. Simply copy the path from the email, and trigger this script to navigate to it instantly!
Open URL - Opens URLs that have been copied to the clipboard.
Record Date - Copies the current date to the clipboard, in virtually any format you might need. I.e., "01.01.2003... 01.01.03... Jan 1, 2003... January 1, 2003... etc."
Remove HTML Tags - Removes HTML tags from text on the clipboard, leaving only the actual text. The cleaned up text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Remove Prefix - Removes a prefix from the beginning of each paragraph of text on the clipboard. The cleaned up text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Remove Suffix - Removes a suffix from the end of each paragraph of text on the clipboard. The cleaned up text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Replace Text - Allows the user to perform a find and replace in the text on the clipboard. Removes a prefix from each paragraph of text on the clipboard. The updated text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Sort Paragraphs - Sorts the paragraphs on the clipboard alphabetically. The sorted text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Trim Text - Trims the text on the clipboard to a specified length. The trimmed text is then placed back onto the clipboard to be pasted into the desired location.
Write To File - Saves the text on the clipboard to a specified file.

Script Timer X 2.6.1
Script Timer lets you schedule the execution of AppleScript, perl, and shell scripts, as well as Automator workflows and applications more>>
Script Timer lets you schedule the execution of AppleScript, perl, and shell scripts, as well as Automator workflows and applications. Scheduling options include specific times of the day, week, month, or year, regular intervals ranging from one second to any number of weeks, when the computer enters or leaves an idle state, just before the computer goes to sleep or just after it wakes up, when you log into or out of your account, and when a specified application launches or quits. Using a feature called Dynamic Scheduling, you can also arrange for an AppleScript script to schedule on the fly one or more additional scripts, applications, or workflows at a time of its choice.
Script Timer consists of three separate modules, Script Timer itself, used to create and manipulate scheduling data files, a background scheduling engine that reads the data files and does the actual scheduling work, and an optional scheduling engine status monitor whose icon appears in the system status bar to show you the current status of the scheduling engine and to allow you to control it, and to open Script Timer. The scheduling engine runs in the user domain, which allows it to be easily controlled by the status monitors menu or a Start/Stop button in a data file window, and provides for greater security. A log file records each action, including error messages and optional messages returned from a script, allowing for easy troubleshooting and script results recording. The application comes with more than half a dozen sample scripts that illustrate its use. Also included is Track Timer, a script that provides an interface between Script Timer and iTunes for automated media play.Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

FmPro Script Diff 1.0
FmPro Script Diff compares, edits, searches and stores FileMaker ScriptMaker scripts more>>
Search & Replace may be performed on variable names, Tablename::Fieldnames, Table Occurrences and text strings throughout an entire group of scripts. Updated scripts can then be pasted directly into the ScriptMaker window within FileMaker Advanced.
Transferring scripts between FileMaker Advanced and FmPro Script Diff is done by copying & pasting the scripts via the clipboard. No DDR Export is required. Even large numbers of scripts are transferred to/from FileMaker within seconds.
Main features:
- Colorized Line by Line Diff Results - Identically named but differing scripts are analyzed on a line-by-line basis. Changes are highlighted in color to make it easy to see whether individual lines have been Added, Deleted or Changed. Changed text within each line is also highlighted.
- High Performance Diff Feature - A checksum is calculated for the text of each script as it is transferred from the clipboard into FmPro Script Diff. The Diff process first compares the checksums between scripts having the same name. If the checksums match, the scripts are considered to be identical, thus a line-by-line comparison is not required. This technique improves the performance of the Diff process because typically only a few scripts within an entire database will be modified between revisions. The line-by-line comparison functionality processes the output results from the UNIX diff utility, which only requires about 200mSec to complete for a typical script.
- Easily Find Changed Scripts - Quickly display only the modified scripts within a large group of scripts by using the Diff screen menu item Changed Scripts. If you have dozens or even hundreds of scripts, it can be a significant time saver to filter the Diff results to display only the Changed, New, Deleted or Unchanged scripts.
- Search & Replace Text Within Scripts - How long would it take to manually find and replace a piece of text like a customer name or product name within dozens or even hundreds of scripts? FmPro Script Diff can perform these types of search and replace tasks within a few seconds. Search & Replace can be performed on variable names, Tablename::Fieldnames, Table Occurrences and text strings throughout an entire group of scripts. Updated scripts can then be pasted directly into FileMaker Advanced. All script attributes including Script Name, Script ID and Include in Menu status are retained when transferring scripts via the clipboard.
- TAB to Highlighted Text - When a script is clicked in search mode, the search text is highlighted in yellow in the Script Text display field. Pressing the TAB key automatically advances to the next occurrence of the found text within the field. This timesaving feature is also used for the Script Errors display, which shows script errors highlighted in red. For Diff results, the field automatically scrolls and highlights the first changed line of text, and pressing the TAB key advances to the next changed line.
- Quickly Browse Scripts - Each script is displayed in a format which is similar to the FileMaker script printout format. Script step names and comments are displayed in bold, options are plaintext, and Tablename::Fieldnames are underlined. Disabled instructions are displayed in italic text. Complex script steps with many options are displayed in a multi-line format, without requiring the opening of modal dialog boxes within ScriptMaker. Import and Export field lists are especially easy to read as a list of fields with Match/Import/Export parameters.
- Share Scripts Among Developers - The XML source for any group of selected scripts can be exported and transferred between developers working on a project. This file can be archived for historical purposes or imported by other developers into their own copy of FmPro Script Diff.
- Script Error Check Feature - As each script is copied from the clipboard it is converted from XML into human-readable text and checked for errors. This error checking feature is a straightforward check to verify the existence of tablenames, fieldnames, find requests and export file parameters. Depending upon the programming techniques being used, every missing item which is flagged as an error may not actually require changes to the script. The errors found within the scripts should be considered to be items to review in order to verify script completeness. This review process can be done rather quickly by Tabbing thru each of the errors to review the code. Very little manual scrolling is required to perform this type of code review.
- Edit XML Definition for Scripts - The Script XML field allows developers to browse and modify the XML definition for any ScriptMaker script. Changes are automatically saved to the embedded database when clicking outside the Script XML field. The XML is re-parsed into human-readable text and checked for errors. Every parameter of a script (including Script ID, Script Name etc) or individual script step can be modified by editing the script XML definition. Scripts can also be generated by external tools and pasted into the Script XML field, for pasting back into FileMaker Advanced.
- Script Grouping Feature - ScriptMaker scripts can be pasted into three different screens within FmPro Diff. These three screens (Database1, Database2, Script Repository) enable developers to make comparisons between scripts, have scratchpad work areas and a centralized storage area for commonly used scripts. Diff comparisons are done by pasting groups of scripts into the Database1 and Database2 screens. All scripts located within these two groups are compared to each other and the results are displayed on the Diff screen. The Database1 and Database2 screens can also be used as scratchpad work areas, in order to limit the affect of Search & Replace tasks. Search & Replace tasks only affect the scripts located within the screen where they are performed.
- Script Repository Feature - The Script Repository screen can be considered a longer term storage location where commonly used scripts may be stored in one convenient location. Scripts can be copied between each screen by using the same copy and paste mechanism used to transfer scripts between FmPro Script Diff and FileMaker Advanced.
- Persistent and Robust Storage - FmPro Script Diff utilizes a high performance SQLite3 embedded database for storage of all imported scripts and preferences within the application. This database is capable of storing up to 2TB of data. All changes to the stored scripts are immediately written into this embedded database file. Diff results are also stored in order to provide persistent storage of these results, and to allow filtering of the Diff results list. SQLite database maintenance on the embedded database is automatically performed each time FmPro Script Diff is closed.
- Easily Print Diff Results and Scripts - Colorized Diff results, Script Text and Script Error text can be printed in color or saved as a PDF file on both platforms.
- Copy Whole Scripts or Script Steps to Clipboard - The normal mode for copying scripts onto the clipboard copies the entire script definition with all included script steps. Holding down the Shift key when copying scripts onto the clipboard copies only the individual script steps. This method enables the pasting of script steps into an existing ScriptMaker script. All of the individual script steps for the first script selected in FmPro Script Diff are pasted at once onto the clipboard.
- Paste Whole Scripts or Script Steps into FmPro Script Diff - FmPro Script Diff recognizes the difference between whole scripts or individual script steps located on the clipboard. If individual script steps are found on the clipboard, these script steps get put into a new script named Untitled ?? within FmPro Script Diff, where the ?? is replaced with an incrementing integer.
- Available for Mac OS X and Windows - FmPro Script Diff is licensed for an economical price per developer and both Mac OS X and Windows versions are provided for each license.
