Application Icon   DEVONagent Pro's Scripts menu

The internal scripts menu of DEVONagent Pro, located to the left of the Help menu, gives you access to pre-made scripts that extend DEVONagent Pro with additional, more specialized commands and functions. They are only visible from inside DEVONagent Pro.

${Software}'s Script menu

Of course, you can easily modify all these scripts using AppleScript Editor, and the workflows using Automator. And you can add your own scripts and workflows--located in '~/Library/Application Support/DEVONagent Pro/Scripts'--to the menu. You can open this folder in the Finder using Scripts > Open Scripts Folder.

Keyboard shortcuts: If you want to add keyboard shortcuts to scripts in this menu, either use the System Preferences or add the shortcut description to the file name of the script in "~/Library/Application Support/DEVONagent Pro/Scripts" or "~/Library/Scripts". Example: "eMail Current URL (Mail)___Cmd-Alt-M.scpt". The naming convention is three underline characters followed by the shortcut description. "Cmd" stands for the ⌘Command, "Alt" for the ⌥Option, "Ctrl" for the ⌃Control, and "Shift" for the ⇧Shift keys.

Caching: All scripts in this menu are cached and therefore their properties are persistent until you quit and relaunch the application or DEVONagent Pro automatically updates the menu, e.g. after adding or removing scripts.

Note: If you have modified the contents of the script menu and want to go back to the default set, delete the Scripts folder in "~/Library/Application Support/DEVONagent/". DEVONagent Pro will recreate this folder, including it's content, the next time you launch the application.
