Abstracts from files in info-mac/dev/osa as of Sun 13 Mar 2005 #### BINHEX 7-3-xpress-scripts.hqx **** From: bonda@worldnet.fr Subject: 7x3 XPress Scripts 7x3 XPress Scripts is a package of 21 AppleScripts for QuarkXPress (Passport) 4.04. Run-only version is free. Editable version of the package is a $20 shareware. System requirements: * System 8.5x or better For more information, please read the enclosed ReadMe (Tex-Edit Plus) file.

The purpose of these scripts is to deal with some horrible situation where Netscape Communicator/Navgiator doesn't not wrap a 2 byte language sentence with some 2 byte language viewing utilities on PC. Apparently, adding an extra space will solve the problem. #### BINHEX akua-sweets-143.hqx **** From: John Rethorst Subject: Akua Sweets 1.4.3 Over two hundred commands and objects for AppleScript. The largest and most powerful scripting addition (osax) available. Free for personal use. Free distribution permitted by the author.

These are internationalized applications that should work properly in any language. Window align - positions windows of desktop folders and disks at the upper left corner of the main screen, just below the Menu bar; all other folder windows are positioned so that its left edge is aligned with that of its parent and its title bar is just below the title bar of its parent. The width and height of the window conforms to the Width and Height preferences. An Option Key feature lets you position windows for all sub-folders, sub-sub-folders, etc. This version adds a new List Max / List Min preference and corrects a problem with deeply nested folders. (Requires Mac OS 8.0, 8.1 or 8.5) Icon Align - aligns icons in a window with icon view to a grid with 2, 3 or 4 columns and in a list view window sets the View Options to Name only. An Option Key feature lets you copy the View of a window to all of its sub-folders, sub-sub-folders, etc. (Requires Mac OS 8.0 or 8.1. Not compatible with 8.5.) #### BINHEX apperance-osax-111.hqx **** From: HOnza Koudelka Subject: 24U Appearance OSAX 1.1.1 Appearance OSAX is a scripting addition that gives you the features you always missed when writing scripts using AppleScript and wanted to interact with a user. The four features available since version 1.0 let you pop-up Appearance savvy movable non-blocking alerts, floating text messages, floating progress indicators, and post standard system notifications. The 1.1.1 update also adds a brand new command called "display better dialog" which is a powerful replacement for the standard-but-limited "display dialog" command included with every Mac OS installation. However, even with these five powerful features, Appearance OSAX stays almost as easy to understand and easy to use as the original Apple's scripting additions. So unlike other 3rd-party dialog utilities for AppleScript, Appearance OSAX can do its good job for you within only few minutes after you download it. Since the year 2000, 24U s.r.o. is committed to software development, modification and distribution, creating custom software solutions, and providing training and consultations for users of Mac OS and Windows. We offer solutions for people, not for computers. #### BINHEX applescript-utilithing-11.hqx **** From: jimbob@linex.com Subject: AppleScript Utilithingies 1.1, a collection of utility scripts.

Its menu items are scripts: choose an item from the menu and the script will run. Some commands are always available, and some are only available within particular applications. Generally the target of the script is the active application, and scripts that operate on the user selection are particularly useful. Scripts in the OSA Menu act like extensions to the command set of the application." - Leonard Rosenthol, author New in this version: further support for OS 9, bug fixes. The author recommends that all users, on OS 9 or earlier, update to this version. Free.

Author: Ton Brand Company: Ton's Software License: freeware Abstract: Some applications install an obsolete library 'ObjectSupportLib' (OSL) or an obsolete extension 'Macintosh Drag and Drop' (DD) in the Extensions folder. Since the introduction of Mac OS 8, ObjectSupportLib is integrated in the system software and since system 7.5 Macintosh Drag and Drop is built in also. The obsolete files could lead to strange effects or even crashes. So is would be useful to check after every third-party software install procedure whether ObjectSupportLib and/or Macintosh Drag and Drop was wrongfully added. OSL_DD Watchdog does this for you, after you have put the program or its alias in the Startup Items folder (which is in your System folder). #### BINHEX palm-synch-n-quit-20.hqx **** From: "Joseph C. Slater" Subject: Palm Synch-n-Quit 2.0 This script runs the Palm Serial Port Monitor (SPM), then quits it after a the Conduit Manager quits so you don't have to remember to quit it and get the nasty crash on wake problem. If you follow the instructions, you can then just hit an F-key, hit synch on your Palm, and not worry about remembering to quit or having to go to a menu to select a script that quits it. This script is set for a 15 second delay, meaning you have 15 seconds once you have the SPM running to get the Palm in position and tell it to synch. #### BINHEX quick-dialog-11.hqx **** From: contact@whpress.com Subject: Quick Dialog 1.1 - tool for FaceSpan 3.0 Quick Dialog is a customizable and versatile dialog window for users of FaceSpan.

Unfortunately, all too frequently these devices come with Windows or DOS software only. Until now, if you wanted to communicate with these devices from the Macintosh, you were stuck writing complicated serial port communication code in a language like C or C++. The SerialPort scripting addition makes it possible to send and recieve data over the serial port from AppleScript using very easy to write scripts. This shareware scripting addition comes with a comprehensive manual, several sample scripts, and glue code for using it from Frontier. The SerialPort scripting addition supports all of the communication settings (baud rate, handshaking, etc.) and any Macintosh serial port (including add-in cards). For more information on the SerialPort scripting addition and our other shareware products, please visit our web site: http://www.seracsoftware.com/ This release adds another command to check to see how much data is waiting to be sent. It also updates the user's manual and updates the contact info. #### BINHEX simple-scripts-08.hqx **** From: ilkka.koski@macuutisia.com Subject: Simple Scripts 0.8 Simple Scripts 0.8 Simple Scripts is basically just a test for me, where i'm finding out about my very minimal AppleScript coding skills. I used to do simple scripts like this a couple of years ago, then they were known as Cleaner Package. As a matter a fact, i got pretty much good feedback from those people who used it. It was also my first appearance on the Internet as a script producer. I eaven got my scripts on an issue of MacFormat, an british Mac magazine. Simple Scripts contains 14 very simple scripts, such as "Empty trash", "Quit Finder", "Desktop Pattern to Mac OS face" and "Sleep".

It is scriptable, attachable (its objects have scripts), recordable, and factored (internally scripted). Smile is PPC-only. It uses Navigation Services and Appearance. Thus it requires MacOS 8.5 or later, or Mac OS 8.1 with Navigation Services and the Appearance Extension installed.

An AppleScript script application that tells what version of the file "MRJLib" is resident on your startup disk. Compatibility (as-is) with MacOS versions later than 8.1 is unknown. If the path searched by the script is incorrect, feel free to edit this as appropriate. Thanks for downloading Steve Wright. #### BINHEX traverse-eudora-folder-as.hqx **** From: benjamin@kagi.co> Subject: Traverse Eudora Mailfolder Tree in AppleScript This script contains a handler to traverse the entire Eudora mailfolder tree and build a corresponding hierarchic structure in AppleScript in the course of doing so. Unfortunately scripting support of Eudora is only rudimentary. Eudora does not understand "every" and "whose" which makes it necessary to read complex structures one by one from Eudora. It is obviously possible to do the same thing faster by reading Eudora's mail folders from disk, but that would make your script vulnerable to incompatibility when Qualcomm decides to change the underlying data structure, which they have already done once in the past. Also, Eudora V4.2 supports remote IMAP mailboxes residing on a mail server rather than on your local disk. These folders can only be parsed using Eudora as means of getting the data rather than bypassing it. The script is commented in detail and it can provide a base for an extensible script object. It can also serve as a base to derive a script that performs the same task for Eudora's nickname tree. Use and distribute freely in any non-profit context.

Ever wish your computer could turn on the printer when you want to print a file and then turn it back off when it was finished?

Now you can do all of this and more from your Macintosh using AppleScript! This shareware package provides a collection of scripting commands that let you control appliances, lights, etc. from AppleScript using a very inexpensive CP290 interface and X-10 modules that are available at many electronics stores or via mail order.
