Tiger only hintThere are some changes to the script menu in Tiger that threw me for a loop at first.

Gone are the days where applications like Mail had their own separate script menu for application-specific scripts. These scripts are now in their own section of the universal script menu. Also, previously the path to store scripts for some application Foo was ~/Library/Scripts/Foo. Scripts. That has been changed to ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Foo.

[robg adds: The other thing they changed is the method of activating the script menu. To do so in 10.4, go into the AppleScript folder in Applications, and run AppleScript Utility. Check the Show Script Menu in menu bar box, then quit the app.]
