But it doesn’t seem to work when accessed with a FastScripts keyboard shortcut.  (Nor, for that matter, from a Quicksilver trigger, although, again, it works when navigated to using the arrow keys in Quicksilver.)<br /><br />I was just curious if anyone could provide some insight into this situation!<br /><br />For the record, the following script does work when run from a shortcut, so the above problem isn't a show stopper.  But the below does run more slowly:<br /><br /><div class="PreContainer"><pre>tell application \&quot;System Events\&quot;<br />    tell application \&quot;Safari\&quot; to activate<br />    tell process \&quot;Safari\&quot;<br />        try<br />            click menu item \&quot;Hide Bookmarks Bar\&quot; of menu \&quot;View\&quot; of menu bar 1<br />            click menu item \&quot;Hide Toolbar\&quot; of menu \&quot;View\&quot; of menu bar 1<br />        on error<br />            click menu item \&quot;Show Bookmarks Bar\&quot; of menu \&quot;View\&quot; of menu bar 1<br />            click menu item \&quot;Show Toolbar\&quot; of menu \&quot;View\&quot; of menu bar 1<br />        end try<br />    end tell<br />end tell</pre></div><br />Thanks!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I thought I was being really smart here...  I created an alias of my applications folder and placed it into the top level of my script folder so I could access it from FastScripts.  Here’s what happened.<br /><br />First, FS hung up the first time I tried to access it after adding the aliased folder - force quit in Activity Monitor.  So I deleted the folder, restarted FS and unchecked automatically synchronize script folder in preferences.  I added the folder again and manually synchronized.  It took awhile (giving me the rainbow beach ball in the meantime) but it finished and I could now access all my apps from FS.  Cool.<br /><br />However, when I try to access preferences via the drop down menu, FS hangs up - impressively!<br /><br /><img src="http://macmembrane.com/downloads/fs-hang.png" alt="image" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><br />Just wanted to let you know - my applications folder is back in my dock.  I’m on a 2.4 gh MBP with 2 gigs of ram, if that makes any difference.  In any case, I’m really enjoying FastScripts overall!<br /><br />Cheers.]]></description>

I would really prefer using it for this purpose instead of yet another tool because<br /><br />- I already have it running constantly in the background anyway<br />- it uses very little memory and zero CPU when not in use, i.e. it behaves really well<br />- it seems to me that such a feature is very close to the purpose of FastScripts, which is launching scripts<br /><br />I was thinking about special folders, one for each trigger/event type, in ~/Library/Scripts:<br /><br />~/Library/Scripts/Sleep<br />~/Library/Scripts/Wakeup<br /><br />(Or maybe in a common subdirectory of Scripts, for example "Events", that would reduce clutter in the FastScripts global script list)<br /><br />FastScripts could then run all scripts in a particular event folder when appropriate, i.e. when the machine wakes from sleep, FastScripts would run all scripts stored in the "Wakeup" folder.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Normally, scripts run under Apple's Script Menu, will save the properties in the script. Earlier, this also worked with FastScripts I think. However, this does NOT work in version 2.3.6 and Leopard! The reason it took me so long (many months) before I realized this, is because FastScripts keeps the properties in memory, so it appears to work as long as I do not quit FastScripts, but since it does not save the actual script to disk, it will be "forgotten" upon the next restart, or login or restart of FastScripts.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello -<br /><br />I am new to both Applescript and Fastscript so I may be simply doing something silly.<br /><br />I wrote a simple script to keystroke my email address and then using fastscripts linked it to the shortcut option-F2 (Note:  I also tried apple-F2).  The script is<br /><br />set target_app to (path to frontmost application as Unicode text)<br />tell application target_app to activate<br />tell application "System Events"<br />	tell process target_app to keystroke "email@email.com"<br />end tell<br /><br />(I changed the actual string it's sending for privacy :)<br /><br />When I tried to invoke the script while in Firefox (at google.com) with the cursor placed in the search box waiting for input for example, it proceeded to do a very strange series of commands first putting the firefox window in the dock, then bringing up windows of page source for the web page, etc. etc. (that is what option-F2 did, apple-F2 filled in the text box with some alternate character set).  It also did strange things when the cursor was waiting on a "stickies" note, etc. so I don't think it had anything to do with Firefox or google.  I thought that the sequence option-F2 and apple-F2 must already mean something; so I then changed it to activate when I pressed F3 instead.  This is the weird bit - now it works wonderfully on F3, BUT if I press option-F2 or apple-F2 in the exact way I did before - NOTHING happens! I would have expected that if those codes meant something already, it would have had some effect.<br /><br />Also, my script is called "Fam address" and despite having it linked to F3 and it working properly now, it does not show the shortcut (F3) on fastscript's drop down menu on the menu bar at the top of the screen.  All of my other scripts show their shortcuts on this menu. I have a screen scrape showing this if you would like it.  I don't know if it makes any difference but I am on an 800MHz powerPC G4 iMac running Tiger.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi,<br /><br />With Adobe CS3, they've changed the security model for running user scripts (not AppleScript as such, but extended JavaScript, with the extension "jsx"). If you try to run a script that lives outside of ~/Documents/Adobe Scripts, the app asks if you're sure you want to run it. It's a minor irritation if you're only running a script occasionally, but if you've hooked it up to a keyboard shortcut for frequent use it becomes very inconvenient, very quickly. A workaround is to put your application's scripts into the official Adobe Scripts folder, and make an alias back to ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/ so that FastScripts can see it. <br /><br />This works great. Only problem is: I use <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/">rsync</a> to backup to an offline server nightly, and it doesn't recognise aliases. It works fine with a symlinked folder, but then the menu items don't show up in FastScripts. So my question is...is there any way to get FastScripts to follow symlinks? Or any clever workaround that I've overlooked?<br /><br />Thanks for your help! <br />Ian]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Daniel,<br /><br />Is there a way fastscripts can trigger a script when the frontmost application changes?<br /><br /><br />I am guessing you are getting notifications from the OS to allow you to supply app specific menus, and wondered if it would be possible to trigger something off the back of these notifications?<br /><br />My best solution at the moment polls for the front most app via System Events, which is not very efficient, and in the end appears to kill System Events!<br /><br />Any suggestions?<br /><br />Thanks a lot,<br /><br />David Blishen]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I'm guessing that this is a side-effect of FastScript's Smart Switching.<br /><br />I've got some scripts for EagleFiler that I execute from FastScripts Lite. For certain actions, EagleFiler will ignore scripted commands if you're currently editing the same item in the UI. For most ways of triggering scripts, this is a non-issue, since they take the focus off these fields. However, since FastScripts doesn't take the focus, these fields don't get updated. I'm wondering if you've got any suggestions for working around this at a scripting level (activating Finder then re-activating EagleFiler would probably work, but seems like a rather big hammer).<br /><br />I've already asked Michael about what was going on and he explained to me why EagleFiler operates this way. From his explanation, the effort needed to change this behavior would far outweigh the benefit to resolving this edge case, so I'm looking for ways to fix it at my end.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It would be great if FastScripts supports Control-P and Control-N to move the focus when activated via the main keyboard shortcut. I forgot the default setting but the one you set "Keyboard shortcut for accessing the FastScripts menu".<br /><br />As far as I know, emacs-like stuff work in "Help" in any applications and Spotlight search located in the upper right corner.<br /><br />Thus, we can use FastScripts without using arrow keys. Of course, remembering all the keyboard shortcuts is better...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This is only obliquely a FastScripts question but bear with me.<br /><br />We are looking for a way to have small AppleScript Studio apps run in the "context" of other apps to provide, for example, some workflow interface in InDesign, Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. <br /><br />I know it is possible to set the ASS apps to not have menubars etc so at first sight they seem to belong to whatever app is frontmost but even then the "host" app still thinks it is being un-frontmosted and hides its palettes when the ASS app is activated.<br /><br />I also know Adobe now provides lots of UI tools but we want to use the same code and UI in non-Adobe apps . . .<br /><br />We have looked long and hard at the possibilities of loading the ASS apps as "bundles" which seems the approved way to do this but we can't see how to make the right kind of bundle from an ASS project in XCode.<br /><br />It feels as if what FastScripts does when running app-specific scripts is similar in kind if not in detail to what we are trying to do so I wondered if there is some way it could invoke an ASS app.<br /><br />Or am I barking up quite the wrong tree here?

      <description><![CDATA[I have several scripts that I use to help restart programs I am beta testing (quit the program, collect crashlog and email, restart program, etc.) and I have found that when I install a new version it can make Fastscripts get very confused and the script gives an error -10066 (I think?). If I edit the script as offered it runs fine from Script Editor, but I have to restart FastScripts to get the script to work again.<br /><br />Is there an alternative to tell application "foo" which uses the bundle name or something? AppleScript is way too fond of deciding that "foo" actually means "foo bar" or "foo 1.0.8b46" or something which annoys me!  But in the meantime, is there a way FastScripts can work around or fix this problem?<br /><br />r]]></description>
