OS X AppleScripts

My collection of AppleScripts.

Installation

• Run rake compile to compile the plain-text scripts into .scpt files.

• Copy the compiled script(s) to your ~/Library/Scripts folder, or add the build directory to the FastScripts search path:

    defaults write com.red-sweater.FastScripts ScriptTreePathsKey -array-add "~/path/to/AppleScripts/build"
  

About the Scripts

• Mail/Deselect All

  • Deselects all messages and mailboxes in your current message viewer.

• Safari/Open Page With Google Chrome

  • A better version of Safari's Develop → Open Page With → Google Chrome.app (…) menu-item.
  • You can assign a shortcut key in FastScripts. This isn't possible with Safari's built-in menu-item, as the text includes the version number (which often changes).
  • Doesn't needlessly create new tabs if the frontmost one is empty.
  • If the URL is already open in Chrome, then it activates that tab and reloads the page.

• Safari/New Tab

  • Better New Tab functionality, via Daring Fireball & Jeff Johnson
