Running AppleScripts from the Special Menu in MacToPic +ｪ
Once you have created a script, you can run it directly from MacToPic +ｪ by selecting "Run AppleScript" from the Special Menu. Only scripts that have been saved from the Script Editor as an Application can be run from this menu. Most of the sample scripts provided by Carnation Software cannot be run from this menu since they have not been compiled into an application yet (since they are waiting to be customized by you).
"Run AppleScript" looks inside of a folder called "AppleScripts" for compiled scripts to run. This folder is inside of the MacToPic +ｪ folder. Make sure you put all of your compiled scripts into this folder for easy access. Also, to make sure that this is the default folder, the option in the General Control Panel for opening documents needs to be set to "Folder that is set by the Application"
There are some scripts provided that have been compiled into an application:
The "Carnation Time Zone" script. is a handy script that tells you the difference in time between your location and Carnation Software. Good to know if you want to make a call early in the morning and we are not open yet. Your Map control panel has to be set correctly to your location for this to work properly. The source code for the script is also provided.
"Screen Selection to Excel 5" is a script that takes data that was lassoed from the MacToPic +ｪ screen and copies it into columns and rows of an Excel spreadsheet.
This script uses another script called "CarnationToExcel" that must be located in your System Extensions folder. It will only work with Microsoft Excel version 5 or later.
The "Copy Screen to Clipboard" script copies the entire contents of your MacToPic +ｪ screen to the clipboard.
