EudorAttacheMulti droplet 1.0

Since my internet provider won't allow me to send email messages with lots of (big) attachements, I searched for an AppleScript that would automatically create a new message for each attached file. As I could't find such, I made this one. I based this script losely upon the 'Stuff and Mail' droplet by Thomas Johannes Matthias Kuehner, and I also used the 'Get File Name and Container 1.0' script line by David Lloyd (find it at http://scriptbuilders.net/file...'.) What it does: you drop a bunch of files on it (no folders), and the applet will ask you to type or paste a delivery email address, and then tell Eudora to create several new outgoing email messages with the address you just gave, with one of the dropped files attached to each one, and with the subject set to the attached file name. It will work with Eudora, and should be easily adaptable for other email clients.

Refocus 1.0

Drop a volume icon on the Refocus application icon and you'll be prompted to enter your password. After entering the password, if the dropped volume's Spotlight indexing is turned on, you'll be prompted to either turn it off, rebuild it, or cancel. If the dropped volume's indexing was turned off when dropped, you'll be prompted to turn it on or cancel.

Prints Please 1.1

My wife requested this script. We create a new iPhoto library about every 2-3 months, and she got tired of typing in new albums every time. When the script is run, four (4) iPhoto albums are created, each for standard sized prints: 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, and 4x6 duplicates. This script can easily be modified for personal usage. Simply open the script in the Script Editor, and add or delete different album names in the list on the first line (album_list). Please contact the author (craig@macscripter.net) with any questions or comments.

Get_iTunes_Lyrics 1.0

What does it do: It (tries to) puts the lyrics of the current track of iTunes in a window so you can read it as you listen to the song. What does not do: It does not put the lyrics into your iTunes. Why, may be next release if there is demand for it. What do you need: You need Growl, and you can get it here <http://growl.info>. It will *not* work without Growl. You will only get errors. Growl is a cool application anyway and it is free. So just download it and enjoy. Once you install it, make sure that you uncheck 'Limit 2-5 lines' on the 'Display Options'. To dismiss the dialog you have to click on it. This is due to a decision of the developers of Growl, and they hold the upper hand. For this first release everything works fine with English lyrics, it might have problems with lyrics in other languages. Mostly languages that have non-ASCII characters or diacritics. Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Greek, etc are not here thanks to my ignorance. If you want to help me, then, let me know, salary is not that great... :)

ToggleVisibility 1.1

What does this application do: It allows the Finder to see invisible files What does this application does not do: It does not change the files in any way. By running this app, you will make your 'Finder' able to see all invisible files in your HD. You know .DS_Store that you never see, well, now you can see it. It is handy to find files you do not know you have in your HD, or, to look for a particular file there. I use it sparingly, and so should you, but when I need it, it is very convenient. You should not play with invisible files if you do not know what you are doing. They are invisible for a reason... How it works: If the visibility is off, double click on this app and it will turn it on. If the visibility is on, double click on this app and it will turn the it off. That is it!

DisplayMan 1.0

It is sure convenient to be able to choose an iPhoto album to use for your desktop and screensaver, but wouldn't it be nice to have that nifty little option of changing the image at different intervals? Until Apple changes that, Display Man can take care of it for you. Run the script, choose an iPhoto album, and a folder is created in the Pictures folder entitled 'Display Images.' By using hard links, all your photos from the chosen are placed in the folder without using any more hard drive space at all. In addition, any changes you make to the photos in iPhoto will be reflected in the Display Images folder as well. When you get tired of those pictures (or you have added or deleted pictures in the chosen album) run the script again, and all the previous links will be erased, and new ones placed in their stead.
