Again with man pages and BBEdit - All this

#.archive #.blogit #applescript #bbedit #man #shell | Really nice trick for Terminal junkies who use BBEdit. I have a similar trick for sublime, and one that opens man pages in Preview, but this one provides additional navigation that none of mine have.

#.blogit #applescript #hook #macos #productivity #scripting #scripts | I've started a collection of scripts for Hook. It's small right now, but should grow in the future. Worth a bookmark or a star if you're a Hook user.

Hey, I sped up Apple Mail Rules

#.blogit #applescript #email #macos #mail | AppleScripting the creation of Mail.app Rules is a great tip. (Yes, I use [MailMate](https://freron.com/), and my [SaneBox](http://mbsy.co/sanebox/18846293) @SaneBlackHole covers this particular use case for me, but it’s still a great tip. Also, yes, the persistent emails Dr. Drang describes are a bane of my existence, too.)

Pixelmator Pro gets AppleScript support - Pixelmator Blog

#.blogit #applescript | In a collaboration with Sal Soghoian himself, Pixelmator has released a very full-featured AppleScript library for their top-shelf photo editing app. As far as I know, only Acorn has ever paid this much attention to automation, and it's really refreshing to see.

MacScripter / GUI scripting information

#.blogit #applescript #gui #scripting | I know AppleScript is slowly dying, and GUI scripting is, like, the worst part of automation with AS, but this script is a godsend even if you're using JSX. It takes any running app and creates a hierarchical list of every menu item in it, making it easy to [script choosing them](http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html).

10.8: AppleScript to close iCal Alerts - Mac OS X Hints

#applescript #blogit #notificationcenter | I have been meaning to figure this out. When you get a slew of notifications in OS X 10.8+, you have to dismiss them one at a time by clicking "Close." I miss Growl's Opt-click-dismiss-all... This solves the problem perfectly. Add a hotkey with FastScripts or run it from a launcher for instant notification clearing.

taskpaperparser - TaskPaper Document Parser in AppleScript - Google Project Hosting

#applescript #taskpaper | This is an AppleScript script that was created in response to a bounty on the official forums for Hog Bay Software's TaskPaper. It parses a TaskPaper document into AppleScript data structures suitable for programmatic manipulation. When you are done manipulating the data, the script can reassemble the data into a TaskPaper document.
