I think it's based on one of the example scripts Rick shared a few years back, although I've expanded it to additional MIF formats. It adds a drop-down to the menu bar that works with both books and individual files, and I can share it. (And yes, I asked Rick about that a couple years back and he was okay with me sharing it.)
