An AppleScript to quickly launch applications
Is this quicker or easier than opening your applications folder (which is two clicks away)? Really? I know it's cool to write scripts, but this seems fairly labor intensive when two clicks will get you to the applications folder...

The problem with the Applications folder is that some of us like to wear many hats. I am a professional software developer and graphic designer, and an amateur video editor, sound editor, music arranger, genealogist, web developer, etc.

Bingo! That's why I wrote this script - because it's much faster than right-clicking the Applications folder for me ... I tried moving the applications into task specific categories - but that almost certainly break apple apps when you try to upgrade them. It's just not worth it. Plus I'm used to being able to type in the application to launch it in linux (and even in the dark days when I still used Windows via the shortcut WindowsKey-R).

Yes, it is quicker. Many of who use our Macs in production environments, or use so many applications that the notion of using the Applications folder directly as our menu becomes laughably unsuitable. In fact, the tendency of Apple to insist on placing certain apps in the Applications folder is, itself, wholly unsuitable for my needs.

I just click on the small piece of the desktop on the side of the Dock to activate the Finder, then press COMMAND-SHIFT-A to open the Apps folder. |
