Quick Access to Your Favorite OO Docs

Menu, and such topics may make your eyes glaze over, please don't give

OK, now:

Hi,

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could have a customizable list of your 
favorite OO documents that you could access right from OO and you 
didn't have to pay for and/or install any third-party software to make 
it happen?

Well, let me welcome you to this brave new world. If you run Panther, 
it's just a couple clicks away.

Fairly recently, Apple upgraded the system Script Menu which comes 
bundled with OS X. It's not installed by default, but you can turn it 
on by running the installer located in:

/Applications/AppleScript/

Now, some of you have probably already drunk the Script Menu kool-aid, 
and that's great. But for others, you may not realize that the new 
Script Menu isn't your daddy's Oldsmobile. You see, it's not just for 
scripts anymore--it can launch documents too.

Combined with another feature of Script Menu, namely context-sensitive 
menu items, we have a recipe for success![1] Simply create a folder 
here:

/Users/formido/Library/Scripts/Applications/OmniOutliner/

and any items placed inside will show up under the scroll in the main 
menubar, whenever OO is the frontmost application.

This is nice for me, and other people who aren't me but think like me, 
because we don't put our AppleScripts there anyway. Now we don't have 
to miss out on the fun.

And this is nice for everyone else, because now they have a 
customizable, contextual document launcher, a sort of favorites menu 
for OO.


It's a win/win situation people,
Mike
