Load multiple AppleScript dictionaries in Script Editor
There are a couple of other methods of opening the AppleScript dictionaries that work really well. Check these threads over at MacScripter.net.
Load multiple AppleScript dictionaries in Script Editor
Any way you could paraphrase - sez you have to have acct to view. I would rather not at this time...
Load multiple AppleScript dictionaries in Script Editor
The second link has a post with this delightful script that will present a dialog box with all running apps, command-click on the ones you want to opent the dictionaries of (with acknowledgements to the authors):
tell application "Finder"
  set {theFiles, theNames} to {file, name} of application processes
  set eligibleNames to {}
  repeat with i from 1 to (count theFiles)
    try
      if has scripting terminology of item i of theFiles then
        set the end of eligibleNames to item i of theNames
      end if
    on error -- just skip anything that errors
    end try
  end repeat
  activate
  set chosenNames to (choose from list eligibleNames with prompt ¬
    "Select the currently running application(s) whose " & ¬
    "dictionaries you wish to open:" default items {"Finder"} with multiple selections allowed)
  if the result is false then return
  repeat with i from 1 to (count chosenNames)
    open (get application file of process (item i of chosenNames)) using application file id "ToyS"
  end repeat
end tell
Just drag 'n' drop
I was also getting annoyed with the length of time it took to open the dictionary list...so I tried dragging and dropping the app whose dictionary I needed on to Script Editor. And it opened the dictionary! *really fast*! Is that really obvious? Anyway - it sure saves me a lot of time (esp in conjunction with LaunchBar; command-return reveals the app).
