File Menu

image

New Script. Creates a new script window according to your saved defaults, if any.

New Script (No Defaults). Creates a new script window ignoring your saved defaults. By default, this menu item is shown as an alternative to New Script when you hold down the Option key.

Open… Brings up a file dialog where you can choose a script file (to open it for editing) or an application (to open its dictionary).

Open Recent. Lists, and lets you open, recently opened scripts.

Open Selection in Viewer or Open XXX Dictionary.

  • Open Selection in Viewer is the same as double-clicking a line in an explorer view. It creates a separate viewer window for the selected line.

  • Open XXX Dictionary is context-sensitive, based on the insertion point in your script window. It opens the dictionary for the application targeted by the current tell block.

Open Dictionary. Presents a hierarchical menu where you can open the dictionary of installed scripting additions, AppleScript, AppleScript Studio, running scriptable applications, and applications in the known applications list. To open the dictionary of an application not listed here, choose Application (the second item in this menu).

Recover Script. Recovers the text of a compiled script file, if possible.

Close, Close All. Attempts to close the frontmost window, or all windows. If a script window is “dirty”, you’ll be offered a chance to save it (or to decline to close it).

Save. Saves the frontmost script. If the frontmost script has never been saved, works like Save As.

Save As… Brings up a file save dialog, for saving the frontmost script as a new file, possibly in a different format.

Save A Copy As… Like Save As, except that afterwards the script window shows the old file, not the newly created file.

Save All. Performs a Save on every “dirty” script window.

Revert To Saved. Opens the frontmost script from its previously saved state, throwing away any changes made since the last save.

Export. Saves a copy of the script as:

Reveal in Finder. Reveals the current document or selection in the Finder:

  • If the current document is a saved script file, reveals that file in the Finder.

  • If the current window is an application’s dictionary, reveals that application in the Finder.

  • If the current selection is in an explorer view and the selected item is a reference to a Finder item (a file or folder), reveals that item in the Finder.

Edit With BBEdit. Actually, might say Edit With TextWrangler or Edit With TextMate instead; it depends which of these applications you have, and which of them is running. Opens the current script document in the target application, initiating an external editing session.

Description… Brings up a dialog for editing the script’s description.

Libraries… Brings up a dialog for editing the script’s libraries.

Manifest… Brings up a dialog displaying the script’s manifest, the applications and scripting additions on which it depends.

Script Format. Lets you set the format in which the script should be saved. Only formats compatible with the script’s present format are enabled; to change to another format, choose File > Save As.

Application Options. If the script is an applet (script application), lets you set its applet options.

Page Setup…, Print… Brings up the usual dialogs for printing the frontmost script or dictionary. You can force a page break in your printed output by including the word !pagebreak! in a comment in your script (in the output, a page break will be substituted for this word).
