Tools
Building on the power of AppleScript, AppleScript Studio in Xcode allows script writers to create Mac OS X applications that use AppleScript scripts to control complex user interfaces. Additional scripting tools for Mac OS X are available from various open source groups. For anyone wishing to automate repetitive procedures in Mac OS X, the Automator application's visual development environment offers a simple drag-and-drop process of selecting and connecting individual workflow actions, which can include shell scripts and AppleScript scripts. |
