Hey folks! Many of you are already familiar with my scripting utility, FastScripts. I have been working on a pretty substantial 3.0 upgrade to the app.
While I’m not ready to go fully public with the beta yet, I thought it would be good to share it here. I know many of you who do use it are among my most technical users and also push the app to do remarkable things ;p I am hoping you’ll help me by installing the beta and letting me know if anything major is broken. Hopefully you’ll also start to enjoy the new features immediately and get to enjoy them before most of the world.
The main new features of 3.0 are:
-
Scriptlight: quickly search for scripts from right in the FastScripts menu
-
Scripts always run in separate processes, empowering parallel script-running and protecting the main app from issues arising from a badly behaving script.
-
Lots of little fixes such as detecting when a conflicting shortcut is being set, additions to FastScripts’s own scripting dictionary, and more.
If you’d like to give it a spin, please download it here:

As long as you’re running the beta version you should be offered updates to future beta revisions, and to the final release when it’s ready. The beta versions are free for all to use, but the final release will be a paid upgrade for most users.
Thanks for giving it a try, and let me know what you think!
Daniel
