View just checked items

[Brian C.]

In the "Sample AppleScripts" package on our site, there's a "Collapse 
Checked Parents" script that I wrote way, way back in the day. 
Basically, it runs through your document, collapsing anything whose 
children are all checked off, and expanding anything that still has 
unchecked children.

You're left with a document that has most of the junk cleared out of 
the way, making it much easier to focus on remaining tasks that still 
need your attention. I stick it up in the toolbar so I can click on it 
whenever needed. You could easily just put it in the scripts menu an 
call it from there, if you wanted.

Obviously, it's not what some of you are asking for, but it's something 
that I found useful. Sample AppleScripts package is here:

(Caveat: I'm still running 10.2 on my machine, and while the script 
worked just now when I downloaded the package to check, there's a 
non-zero chance that 10.3 did something funky to AppleScript, so YMMV. 
I know the 10.1 -> 10.2 transition certainly did.)
