OSA Menu Install EULA

OSA Menu 1.0.1 Written by Leonard Rosenthol Copyright ©1992-1994, Leonard Rosenthol. Installation: If you are reading this, you've probably already done half the installation! The only other thing to do is to drag the OSA Menu icon over your System folder. Doing so will cause the Finder to inform you that "Extensions go in the Extensions folder" - this is a good thing, and you should click the "OK" button. Now restart your Mac, and you'll be all ready to use OSA Menu. Description: The OSA Menu is an iconic system menu (like the Help menu) that appears on the right side of the menu bar. Its menu items are scripts: choose an item from the menu and the script will run. Some commands are always available, and some are only available within particular applications. Generally the target of the script is the active application, and scripts that operate on the user selection are particularly useful. Scripts in the OSA Menu act like extensions to the command set of the application. The main advantage to scripts in the menu is that you can call them up with one mouse click without leaving the current application. This is most useful in applications that are scriptable (such as the Finder and Aladdin Systems' StuffIt Deluxe & Lite), but require you to switch to another application. BUT NO MORE!! Now you can just choose the script you want to run from the OSA Menu. The scripts live in a folder called "Scripts" in your System folder, and each application gets its own subfolder of the "Scripts" folder with the scripts specific to that application as well as a "Universal Scripts" folder for scripts that you wish to access in all applications. What's in the Menu: The menu has three parts: * On top are the fixed commands. Right now there’s only one: the "About OSA Menu" command that displays an About box. * Below those are the universal scripts, which always appear. * At the bottom are the scripts for the active application. At the end of each set of scripts is an underlined command that, when chosen, tells the Finder to open the folder for those scripts. For instance, when SITcomm is active there is an "Open SITcomm Scripts Folder" command that opens the "SITcomm Scripts" folder. These folders are like the Apple Menu Items folder: any script files placed in them immediately appear in the scripting menu. (They must be compiled scripts (including Applets and Droplets), not text files.) Command Keys: It is possible to assign a command key to a script by using a special naming convention. If the name of a script ends with a '\' followed by another character, then that character will be used as the command key for the script. For example, the script named "Time Check\T" will have a command key of "T" in the menu. Page 1 Use of option or control characters in a menu name is not officially supported, due to a limitation of the Macintosh Menu Manager. They MAY work, but if they don't, I am sorry and I have no plans …
