ScriptMenu

ScriptMenu is a C module which builds a "Scripts" menu. The menu is built from the contents of a folder called "Scripts" within your application's folder. This folder should contain compiled Applescripts (not applets or droplets). The user can then execute a script by choosing it from the menu.

To use it is laughably simple -- see ScriptMenu.h for all you need to know. Note that the code is in C, but I've used C++ style comments. If you're using CodeWarrior, that's not a problem; if it bugs you, let me know and I'll change it.

New! ScriptMenu will now use a color icon for the menu title rather than the word "Scripts", if your application's resource fork has an 'ics#' resource named "Script Menu Icon" (as defined in ScriptMenu.c). If this resource is not found, the word "Scripts" is used, just like before. Here is a Script Menu icon resource file for your use. (Updated 08/25/97.)

If you have any questions or comments about the code or its use, please write to me at joe@strout.net. Improvements (such as using the script icon rather than the word "Scripts" for the menu title) are also welcome!
