Script Monkey @AppleScript4Evr

Apple's built-in macOS script menu appears to be damaged in the latest macOS Ventura beta. Perhaps a good time to remind everybody that the unregistered/free version of @FastScripts offers everything Apple's menu does, and more! redsweater.com/fastscripts/

It's WWDC Friday and AppleScript is still lives.

Just released @FastScripts 3.0, a major upgrade many years in the making. Script searching, parallel execution, progress feedback, and more! redsweater.com/blog/3784/fast…

Wow, that‘s the first time I see @Apple providing example scripts in an AppleScript library. Much appreciated! You can find them in the current app versions of Numbers, Pages & Keynote.

Well isn't that special.

#AppleScript Run this script from FastScripts/Butler/Keyboard Maestro/etc. to apply tags in @OmniFocus without click-click-clicking:

-- #AppleScript Copy from Safari as Markdown Link try tell application "Safari" to tell document 1 set t to (do JavaScript "(''+getSelection())") if t is "" then set t to name set u to URL end tell set the clipboard to "[" & t & "](" & u & ")" end try

#AppleScript Save current Safari window as webloc

Still holds up.

-- #AppleScript Copy File Names tell application "Finder" set s to selection as alias list set n to {} repeat with i in s set end of n to name of i end repeat end tell set text item delimiters to return set the clipboard to n as text display notification "Copied!"

-- #AppleScript Copy File URLs tell application "Finder" set s to selection as alias list set u to {} repeat with i in s set end of u to URL of i end repeat end tell set text item delimiters to return set the clipboard to u as text display notification "Copied!"

-- v1.1 Copy POSIX Paths tell application "Finder" set s to selection as alias list set u to {} repeat with i in s set end of u to POSIX path of i end repeat end tell set text item delimiters to return set the clipboard to u as text display notification "Copied!"

Me too!

@AppleScript4Evr It would make more sense to stick with native AppleScript and harness its abilities over calling out to the shell:

#AppleScript Paste One Line from Clipboard

I find posting my terrible AppleScript on Friday mornings cathartic. Also it's a funny story about how I was still writing automation on my Mac like the internet doesn't exist. Duh.
