Finder Scripting Toolkit is an alternative to the FinderLib provided with AppleScript. It gives AppleScript access to the full Finder (7.0, 7.1) Apple Events suite, does not require an aete resource for recompilation, and has a very low memory overhead. It is expected that script writers will copy the handlers they need to their own scripts. The handlers are independant of each other, making this easy.
Finder Scripting Toolkit includes :
• Finder Scripting Toolkit, a Script Editor document with full sources, containing the scripts. Look at the comments in there for a full documentation. The scripts may be freely copied and reused.
• fwin coercion osax folder, containing fwin coercion, a scripting addition that is needed by some handlers. The full source in MPW C is provided. The osax may be freely redistributed with scripts that need it.
• View by name, an example of the use of Finder Scripting Toolkit. This droplet changes all folders in a hierarchy to view by name.
