I would like the scripts to be displayed on the Palette menu which is pretty short right now. So I could run a script without having to bring up the command window, scroll all the way to the bottom.
Maybe I am missing something, but if someone has a script they want it front and center?
No problem, I assume that developers WANT feature requests, it shows user interest! I have no expectations on requests… it can’t hurt to ask and may make it into a future product!
Yes, and thanks! Sorry if I didn’t make that clear.
A bit more on this idea …
In the past I have supported running scripts from app menu items. I don’t remember if I ever did this with TaskPaper, but it used to be pretty standard for Mac apps to support a dedicated script menu, and I know some of mine did!
I don’t support this in TaskPaper for a number of reasons:
This doesn’t seem to be something many apps do now days.
Instead I think Apple wants people to use the system wide script menu instead. I guess that’s probably what killed the convention of apps providing their own… though I understand that for a number of cases this isn’t ideal. In particular I don’t think you can assign keyboard shortcuts.
There are also many tools like FastScripts or Keyboard Maestro or Alfred that can run scripts and assign keyboard shortcuts, and I think most people who use a lot of scripts already use one of those tools.
The end result being that for now I don’t see much value in adding yet another way to run scripts, even if it would make some things easier.
My opinion/circumstances may change again. In particular when I add scripting to the new app “Bike” that I’m working on I might change my mind again.
