Scripts

[sao]

Some scripts I find useful:


Open Terminal Here *-* 1.1
When clicked on in the toolbar of a Finder directory window, this script will open up a new terminal session in that directory. Very useful if you're often switching between manipulating files and directories graphically and with the command line. More information about recommended usage etc. can be found on the program's page.

rsFinderScripts *-* 1.0
* mail attachments: opens a new mail window in Mail.app with the Finder selection as attachment
* move to...: Let's you select a folder in a standard open dialog and moves the Finder selection to this new location
* open with... (browse): Let's you select an application or an alias to an application in a standard open dialog. The Finder selection will then be opened in the chosen application
* open with... (pick app): Let's you select an application from a list of all installed applications. The Finder selection will then be opened in the chosen application

iPhoto Librarian *-* 1.0
<<I found a method on Mac OS X Hints for doing this, but it required going into Terminal or editing the preferences file by hand. This is an easy to use Scriptlet the does the same job, but doesn't require knowing the messy details. Simply click iPhoto Librarian instead of starting iPhoto directly. It allows you to choose to run iPhoto from the default library or a library of your choosing.>>

Does anyone know if System Prefs are scriptable? I'd like to write some simple scripts tht I had in 9 that do things like change the location and change the startup disk. Any suggestions?

1. At least I'm not a dirty hippy :)
2. No, system prefs are not scriptable, at least not yet.

Hi,
if been looking for something as open terminal here:
But, when I use that one, I get this error in my terminal. Is there a newer version?:

Here is the author's (Mark Liyanage) page for his scripts:

The version you have should be the latest version. Perhaps he should know about the bug into which you are running.

Soon, probably with 10.3, you won't need System Preferences to be scriptable.

I plan on writing an ISP setup script for the dial-up service the university here provides. Woot, AppleScript!

:-D
