RoboFont extension for finding and running scripts

ScriptLauncher

ScriptLauncher is a tool to quickly find and run scripts based on the script file name. Similar to Alfred or OSX's Spotlight Search.

Usage:

Open the window using Control+Option+Command+space (mash the bottom row of your keyboard).

Advanced

Opening Script in the RoboFont Script Window

Open a selected script using Option+Command+o.

Preferences

Open preferences by typing "preferences", or using Option+Command+comma.

• Scripts/Extensions

  If you use custom locations for Scripts and Extensions, you can set the path here.

• Search Near Open Fonts for Scripts

  ScriptLauncher will look for scripts located near your fonts. This is helpful if you keep project-based scripts near your fonts. The default is to move up 3 directories and start searching from there. CAUTION: Expanding the search area too much will cause the script to run slowly. You might need to fiddle with the Search Up setting to find the setting that works best for you.

• Rememember Last Scripts
