Hi Paul, As Louie stated, AppleScript files can be run by pressing Command-R. However, that mode of running scripts is usually used when you are using the script editor to examine or modify a script. If you have a script that you want to routinely run, you can save it as an application (Command-Shift-S for the "Save As" dialog, then set the name and location, and choose the "File format" as "Application". (The saved "application" just executes when you activate it, so the script format lets you view the contents in the script editor.)
If this is a move script from the Italian Mac VoiceOver users' group, there are usage instructions at their web site in an instructions link just next to the download link. These explain how to save to script so you can set up a Services menu shortcut. I'll give the link to the English version of their AppleScripts web page: http://www.universalaccess.it/script-english/ There is also a commercial product called "MoveAddict" ($7.99) that lets you cut and paste files, and also, optionally merge them when moving to a new destination (something that move scripts don't feature). Some forum members had difficulty initially had problems setting this up, though. Although this app is sold in the App Store, there's a special preferences pane for VoiceOver users that only seems to be available from downloadable version the developer's site. I know that some people who bought the app from the App Store, then downloaded the from the developer's site to get the additional folder and Readme for VoiceOver users did successfully set up this app, but perhaps others could comment on this. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Apr 27, 2011, at 03:34, Paul Erkens wrote: > Hi list, > > Given an s c p t file, like I have here a move file dot s c p t, how do I > execute such a file?
