FastScripts 2.2.7 and FastScripts Lite

fastscriptsFastScripts is an AppleScript management utility that offers several nifty improvements over the way OS X manages AppleScripts.

The developer Daniel Jalkut has released a new, improved version of FastScripts. It sports a redesigned icon and improved handling of the “close” AppleScript command.

FastScripts is an excellent way to manage and launch the many AppleScripts that make Mail.app faster and better to use.

It offers customisable keyboard shortcuts for launching scripts, smarter switching between apps as a script demands it, configurable menu organisation, better menu shortcuts and more.

All of this for USD 15.

Daniel has also released a slimmed-down freeware version of the app called “FastScripts Lite”. It is missing some features that owners of the shareware version enjoy.

Both are available on his Red Sweater Blog.

Perhaps it’s not too late to point out that FastScripts is Number Eleven on the list of Top Ten Things every Mail.app user should have, even higher if you use AppleScripts a lot.

    Is the comment previewing that’s active here included with WP 2.0?

    No. It’s a plugin called Live Comment Preview.

    It does work with WP 2.0 though as you can see.

    Thanks, Tim. Filosofo Comments Preview reportedly works with WP 2.0 and has more features except for the live updating which I might prefer.

    I’ve been hoping WP would bundle post previewing so more weblogs would be encouraged to use it. It’s an ongoing frustration of mine to submit stylized comments on weblogs without being able to preview them, especially when you don’t know what’s supported.

    Anyway, sorry for off-topic hijacking your post.

    I agree. I’ve been caught out a few times like that on other blogs.

    And no need to apologise. I’m still not sure what this blog’s topic is anyway ;-)
