About
Heiko's Little Helpers are a bunch of AppleScripts I wrote to do frequently needed jobs for me...
Originally I programmed an application named Sake to do that, but it became more complex than I anticipated...that's why I decided to discontinue Sake and switch to FastScripts.
What?
There are some things I often to by hand - this really bothered me. Therefore I sought a way to do this more efficiently.
System Requirements
- MacOS X 10.0 or better :-)
- FastScripts, see http://www.red-sweater.com/fastscripts/
Setup and usage
- Setup
- Install FastScripts
- Download this scripts (link below), unpack and move them either into...
- ~/Library/Scripts (usable for your own user only)
- /Library/Scripts (usable for all users of your Mac)
- Usage
Example: Archive this!- Select the files you want to archive, in this case "Miscellaneous Scripts", and select Archive this! in FastScripts menu...
- ...and you get this:
- Select the files you want to archive, in this case "Miscellaneous Scripts", and select Archive this! in FastScripts menu...
