Get rid of those annoying bracketed font sizes on your whole document. This simple script selects all text boxes that have been scaled and applies the 'Scale text attributes' feature. If you've never used this feature, it keeps the text at the size you've scaled it to and applies the scaling to the point size measurement.

Fri, 27 Apr 2007 07:18:14 -0500 - Make Mail Folders 1.0
I paid a coder to develop this for me and it worked well for me (for hundreds of mailboxes at a time) but YMMV. Steps: 1. Create list of names for mailboxes in Excel. * Avoid using characters that cannot be used in mailbox names (e.g. forward slash). * The script can probably used for lists created in other applications, but i just used Excel. 2. Select the list and copy. 3. Run the script. 4. The script should create a Mail folder called 'New Folders' and then should create the desired subfolders within that folder.

This script is used as a Quicksilver action. All you do is call Quicksilver, type 'a' (for away), tab, type 'im' and hit enter. When you come back, do the same thing but type 'o' (for online). It updates your Skype, iChat, and Adium online status with minimal key strokes.

A collection of simple scripts for beginning scripters. Conveniently, some of them also show off the 'Gee Whiz' factor of a Mac, to impress your Windows-using friends. All scripts are editable and have comments that describe how to use them. Scripts included for iCal, TextEdit, Appleworks, iTunes, and the Finder! Crunch some code!
Tue, 24 Apr 2007 17:56:42 -0500 - Mail Saver 3.5
Mail Saver saves messages from Apple's Mail into any Finder folder as message (.emlx) files. These saved files are Mail document files and reading them still requires Mail, but Mail is no longer required to store and organize them. This avoids cluttering Mail and allows you to save mail with a relevant project and to archive mail. Saved messages can be Replied, Redirected, Forwarded, Bounced and Printed, but cannot be Junked, Deleted or Flagged. Saved messages also retain attachments, if present. When Mail Saver saves a message, it simply makes a copy of the message and does not do any file conversion. The only change Mail Saver may make to Mail is to tell Mail to delete its original copy (into the Trash mailbox) after it has been saved. The saved copy of a message is modified so that: The file name is the header's subject; The modification date is the header's date sent; and The comment is the header's To: address (for sent mail) or From: address (for received mail). Here is a brief summary of Mail Saver's features: Linked User Mailboxes Route messages manually or automatically, using Mail's Rules, to User mailboxes, each linked to a folder. Mail Saver moves the contents of a linked mailbox into its linked folder, opens the folder and labels the moved messages as ready to read. The originals are not immediately erased, but are moved into the Trash mailbox. Mail Saver Menu Gives you instant access to Mail Saver, Help, Mail-Safe, Spot-Mail and to your linked folders via a menu in the Dock or Script Menu. Save Selected Messages Selected messages in the Inbox and Sent mailboxes can be saved to any location. The original message is not moved to the Trash mailbox, so you can save multiple copies to multiple locations. Spot-Mail Spot-Mail uses Spotlight to search the content of .emlx files in the frontmost folder. (Spotlight cannot be used directly to search the content of .emlx files not stored within Mail.) Mail-Safe Creates an archive of every message sent or received by Mail. The Trash mailbox is linked to a 'Mail-Safe' folder of your choice where outdated messages are saved into year-numbered folders containing month-numbered folders. The originals of these messages are erased from Mail. If you have a requirement to maintain an archive of your e-mail, Mail-Safe may meet your needs. This application is fully functional for a period of 30 days following installation, after which continued use requires purchase of an activation key (US$9.95).
Tue, 24 Apr 2007 17:05:44 -0500 - Send todos to iCal 0.9
This script allows you to email yourself action items from remote locations that will automatically appear as an iCal todo item. (Useful, for example, to those of us who are obliged to use Windows at work) It is designed for use with iGTD but can be used alone or with any other productivity program. This script must be attached to a 'Mail' rule in order to work. Go into 'Mail' preferences go to the rule tab and create a new rule. Give it a name, set the drop down box to 'any' and set the contion to 'subject' 'begins with' the signal word -- the default signal word is: todo: All one word, no spaces, with colon. You may -- no, make that ought to -- choose your own signal word. It must be one word, no spaces, and you must alter one line (the fourth line) of the applescript code to accommodate your choice: set signalText to 'todo:' (insert your own word for todo: ) After you have set the 'Mail' rule condition, you must set the action, namely, running this script. Once that is done, any email which begins with the signal word (that presumably you sent yourself) will appear with the email's subject as a todo item in the iCal '@Inbox' calendar with the signal word stripped off, and the email's contents as a note. Alternatively, you may presort it into the right calendar/context, project or priorty, or due date using @ [ ] # or !, the way you would in the iGTD Quicksilver interface. Then, Synchonize iGTD to move all the tasks to iGTD as actions in the appropriate contexts and projects. For those unfamiliar with iGTD, if you follow the signal word with the name of a calendar/context that begins with @, the task is put in that calendar. You may also use any abbreviation or set of initials that will uniquely identify the calendar. You may set task priority by including ! !! or anywhere in the task desciption. <!, !!, not included> ... no priority ................................... low priority ! ...................................... medium priority !! ..................................... high priority In addition, you may set the due date by including # followed by a numerical date such as #5/2 (May 2 '07) or #8-25-2009 (Aug 25 '09) or use natural language such as #tomorrow, #today, #next week, #in 2 months etc. The due date will be stripped out of the task when it is put in iCal. Finally, the iGTD people may put the task in a specific project by including [<project name>] either at the end or the beginning of the task depending on your preference setting in iGTD (if projects are set up to go at the beginning, put them after the calendar/context if that is included.) (Note: project names may not be abbreviated). Don't forget the email contents appears in iCal as a task note. Examples of email subjects: todo: Investigate AppleScript #next week puts task: 'Investigate AppleScript' in calendar: '@InBox' with no priority and a due date of one week from today. todo: @computer-online Investigate AppleScript! #5/23/07 puts task: 'Investigate AppleScript!' in calendar: '@Computer-Online' with medium priority and a due date of May 23, 2007. todo: @compOn Investigate AppleScript! #5-23 same result as above this time where '@Computer-Online' is abbreviated. todo: @Hm Investigate AppleScript!! #in 5 days [MailScript] puts task: 'Investigate AppleScript! [MailScript]' in calendar: '@Home' with high priority and a due date of five days from today. When this is next synched with iGTD will become an action in project 'MailScript'.
Mon, 23 Apr 2007 22:35:05 -0500 - SVN (Subversion) Scripts for Finder 1.0
Scripts for Finder to make the most frequent operations on Subversion repositories easier. Now you don't have to switch from Finder to another application (either terminal or some heavy-weight GUI client) to handle common repository tasks. The following operations are supported for now: Add, Commit, Delete, Revert, Status, Update. Command-line Subversion client is still required, but the scripts don't have to be configured (the path to the binary will be auto-detected). NOTE: The most current version, screenshot and installation instructions available at the project homepage: http://svn-finder.sourceforge.net/
