An AppleScript to quickly launch applications
Authored by: osxpounder on Feb 25, '04 01:22:42PM

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.

My workaround until now has been to create a folder merely for shortcuts [aliases], called "Application Menu", and put THAT on the dock. I can organize my apps into submenus without screwing up Apple's expectation that iMovie or iDVD will be in Apple's chosen folder.

But I do all that because I didn't have the talent or time to write this proposed AppleScript solution. Now that the author has kindly shared the script, I must consider it.
