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

• Usage
  Example: Archive this!
  • Select the files you want to archive, in this case "Miscellaneous Scripts", and select Archive this! in FastScripts menu...
    
  • ...and you get this:
