Better iDisk sync using Transmit
Authored by: neilio on Mar 04, '05 01:12:43PM
There's a small problem with the script - all of the ¬ symbols are being rendered as Â.

Pretty neat, though - I haven't had a chance to really play with this, but I can see it being very handy.

Script2TinyURL
Authored by: Krioni on Mar 04, '05 04:42:25PM
I was going to suggest using Script2TinyURL to share the original poster's AppleScript, but it is too long for TinyURL. For an example of what Script2TinyURL can do for scripts below a certain length (I forget what but it works on a script that is 1729 characters), click this link : Script2TinyURL. It will open a copy of the script in your Script Editor. Save it, and then you can use it to generate TinyURLs that will give people your entire script in just a short URL. For example, the link above was just "http://tinyurl.com/57gl2" and it gave you the entire 1729 character Script2TinyURL script.

Fun.

Script2TinyURL
Authored by: mark hunte on Mar 04, '05 07:34:46PM
I didn't even know transmit was in v3, but will down load and try Thanks for the iDisk hint.

P.s The tiny script gave me an idea. I have two scripts that copy and paste scripts into script editor or a shell script from the front most app.

in the tiny Url script I noticed there is a url call for script editor. Which if used in my script might work much better. the line is

 applescript://com.apple.scripteditor?action=new&script=
so I set it in to my script and cut out all the tell script editor do this and that stuff. Which seems to work ok
set front_app to (path to frontmost application as Unicode text)
set name_ to name of (info for (path to frontmost application))
tell application front_app
	activate
	tell application "System Events"
		keystroke "c" using {command down}
		delay 1
		set this_text to (get the clipboard) as string
		open location "applescript://com.apple.scripteditor?action=new&script=" & this_text
	end tell
end tell
