This tip is very cool. It allows me to simplify the script menu in such a way that it shows only the most relevant scripts for a particular application. All without limiting access to scripts for other applications. Also, if there are scripts that you'd like to be consistently available, you can still keep them in the Applescript folder.

Is there anyway to make the script menu come up for Safari? As iTunes has, where you drop scripts in ~/Library/[Application Name]/Scripts/

I'd much prefer this as I look for the script menu there as part of the application rather than an extension of my entire operating system.

Doesn't work for me, even after trying Scott's workaround.

Any suggestions?

What about the Scripts folder at root?

~/Library/Scripts/Applications/ NSLog();: "If you create the folder ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Safari/ and drop AppleScripts into it, they'll appear as I've illustrated to the right. This is a great way to clean up your AppleScript system menu (y'all have one, right?). No longer ...

Be sure you update to the latest ScriptMenu.menu v1.1 for this to work (replace in ~/Library/Bundles).

Personally, I find this new trick intollerable, as it forces a rescan of all scripts in all subdirectories on the path each time you switch apps; I have several hundred scripts on that path and it takes about 20-22 seconds each time you switch apps and reaccess the menu.

Sorry. It is working, after a kill -HUP of the SystemUIServer.

Doesn't seem to work for me. I'm running 10.2.4, with System Events 1.2b though (for gui scripting). Is it possible that this is in the new 10.2.4 System Events?
