Heikos Little Helpers
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
- MacOS X 10.0 or better :-)
- FastScripts, see http://www.red-sweater.com/fastscripts/ (If you don't care for keyboard shortcuts you can also use MacOS X' built-in tech: Video showing how to enable)
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:
- Select the files you want to archive, in this case "Miscellaneous Scripts", and select Archive this! in FastScripts menu...
What it can do for you!
| Script | Function |
|---|---|
| Paste Timestamp.scpt | Pastes a timestamp like "2009-12-22 16:29" into the current text editor. |
| Paste Log Timestamp.scpt | Pastes timestamp like this: "2009-12-22, 16:32, hk: ". This is my favourite. I don't remember what it was like before I used this! |
| Archive Selected File/Folder.scpt | You'll gonna love this: Creates an archive from your selected file/folder and adds an timestamp to the filename. That's sooo handy for my source backups. |
| Leo Selected Text.scpt | Looks up selected text in http://www.leo.org . |
| Look Up Selected Text In Dictionary.scpt | Looks up selected text in MacOS X's Dictionary. |
| Google Selected Text.scpt | Looks up selected text in Google |

| Google Lyrics Of Current Track.scpt | Guess what. |
| Google Lyrics Of Selected Track.scpt | Guess what. |
| Paste iTunes Current Track.scpt | Pastes the current iTunes track like this: "The Beez - Die Warteschleife - Die Warteschleife (Radio Edit)". |

Ever wondered how you can play a single track? Think of it: You navigate to a track in your music library, and you want to play it. Just this one.
Yes: iTunes offers no method of doing this (except creating a new playlist, adding the track, playing the track und deleting the playlist afterwards. Yes, this sucks).
The bad news: I have no better solution.
Now the good news: You don't have to do it yourself! Here's the script that does it all for you: (place into ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts/ or ~/Library/Scripts/)
