About

Heiko's Little Helpers are a bunch of AppleScripts I wrote to do frequently needed jobs for me...
Originally I programmed an application named Sake to do that, but it became more complex than I anticipated...that's why I decided to discontinue Sake and switch to FastScripts.

What?

There are some things I often to by hand - this really bothered me. Therefore I sought a way to do this more efficiently.

System Requirements

Setup

  • Install FastScripts
  • Download this scripts (link below), unpack and move them either into...
    • ~/Library/Scripts (usable for your own user only)
    • /Library/Scripts (usable for all users of your Mac)

Usage

  • Example: Archive Selected File/Folder.scpt
    • Select the files you want to archive, in this case "Miscellaneous Scripts", and select Archive this! in FastScripts menu...

    • ...and you get this:
