Configuration

The workflow comes with a default set of directories. These are defined in a settings file that you can edit yourself. Use the Edit Script Directories option in the configuration (keyword appscripts) to open the file in your editor.

These are the default directories. {app_name} will be replaced with the name of the currently active application, e.g. BBEdit or OmniFocus, and {bundle_id} with the application's bundle ID, e.g. com.barebones.bbedit or com.omnigroup.OmniFocus2:

• ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/{app_name}
• ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/{bundle_id}
• ~/Library/Application Scripts/{app_name}
• ~/Library/Application Scripts/{bundle_id}
• ~/Library/Application Support/{app_name}/Scripts
• ~/Library/Application Support/{bundle_id}/Scripts
• ~/Library/Containers/{bundle_id}/Data/Library/Application Support/{app_name}/Scripts

Any *.scpt, *.applescript, *.scptd (script bundle) or *.js (JXA) files found within the above directories will be shown.

If you add a directory path that doesn't contain {app_name} or {bundle_id}, it will match every application and the scripts will always be shown. See the settings file (AppScript Directories.txt) for more information.
