Hi Jason, Dennis, glad I could be of help!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
I have been struggling with this problem for quite a while, well, since squarespace messed things up! I thought I was having problems on my end… I’d given up and just started using their clunky utility to blog on my site. I would try my MarsEdit now and then and give up again… I should have came here a long time ago! Everything works perfect now!
Thanks again!
Dennis

Thanks, Nik! I have also run into a few other issues since I posted this. In particular there are some issues with scripts that rely upon environment variables being passed through to scripts, and I’ve seen some issues with scripts that work with “the clipboard” from AppleScript. I’m looking into fixes for both of these issues in the next update to FastScripts.

Glad the new support is useful on the whole to you!

After running with this for a little more than a week, I would just like to say that it is a tremendous improvement and I love it. The only problem is those error notifications. If I put in a try/on error handler to post an alert, it works all right, but otherwise there’s no feedback when something fails. This has already bitten me a couple of times.

Thank you for this! I was running in circles trying to figure out why MarsEdit wasn’t working. Great job!

A few comments:

1. I am typically running uncompiled scripts, so if anything would take a performance hit, I’d think that’d be it. These scripts are running without any noticeable delay.

2. It’s very nice to have my longer scripts “get out of the way” for other scripts to run. It ensures that my quick and frequently used keyboard shortcuts are always available.

3. I am not receiving any notifications when script processes have errors. Usually I get an error dialog of some sort. It would be nice to push these errors to Growl or Notification Center. (Preferably Growl — I’m still running Snow Leopard on one of my Macs.)

Wow! I have a commonly used script that takes a web page and sends it via email. The significant thing is adding a word count to the subject line. Anyway, I enabled the separate process and my email message pops up, ready to send seemingly much faster than before. No issues with any of my scripts. Will watch behavior for oddness.

Hi Chris – interesting stuff. Yeah, it sounds like it would be a multi-phase scripting challenge. I’m guessing it could be done but would require some careful experimentation with how to script the various UI elements.

Daniel, There is a Calendars folder on older iPods. One can Export from Calendar.app to that folder (or anywhere for that matter). In Calendar, you select the calendar you want to export, then select File->Export->Export… Finally you get a standard Save dialog. I haven’t a clue how to use System Events to do all that.

Chris – Unfortunately I don’t know anything about the export to iPod features of iTunes or Calendar.

Sergesouszero – glad to hear it works well for you!
