Script Editor

From Mac Guides

Jump to: navigation, search

The Script Editor is an application included with Mac OS X and prior versions of Mac OS that allows editing and creating scripts using AppleScript. Scripts can be saved as plain text, scripts that open in Script Editor, or standalone applications (including droplets).

In Mac OS X, the Script Editor is located at /Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.

Features

  • Write, compile and run AppleScript code
  • View other applications' scripting dictionaries
  • Customizable code formatting
  • An optional "Script Assistant" for code autocompletion
  • An event log
  • The ability to "Record" scripts without writing any code. This involves the actions that you do being automatically converted into code. Unfortunately, this feature works in very few applications, such as Finder.
