I personally recommend FastScripts - a little menubar utility for running AppleScripts, but you can also choose to use QuickSilver or Launchbar. First, we need an app to invoke our AppleScript using a global shortcut. As a rule probably most if not all of the “features” for FastScripts are in fact distinctions from Apple’s script menu.To put simply, it’s a scripting language with a syntax that very closely resembles the English language that lets you control most applications on your Mac. Off the top of my head two big differences are that FastScripts supports keyboard shortcuts, and makes an effort when running scripts to “put you back” in the app you were in when the script is done running. Over the years FastScripts has been more of a product of passion than something I’m really pitching as an alternative to the Apple script menu: I think you should use whichever you like better, and try them both. I don’t really have a feature comparison. But do you have a comparison page? Thanks. ![]() The “Automation” menu approach leaves a lot to be desired.Īnother question: I’m looking for a summary of all FastScripts advantages over the Script Menu. I prefer how Progress Bar looks in applets anyway. Although you’ll lose some of the benefits of FastScripts (namely, keeping the script real streamlined and in memory), you’ll gain the standard behavior of the system’s script running behavior because it’s all handled inside the applet. If it’s important to have a script display progress, I would recommend saving it as an applet, which FastScripts can also open and run for you. #Fastscripts application scripts folder how toI’ve asked Apple about the possibility of getting access to this information and so far I haven’t heard anything about how to do it. Hi – unfortunately it doesn’t handle the progress bar information that scripts in Yosemite can now convey. How does it handle the Progress Bar in Yosemite? With the “Automation” menu as in the default Script menu?
