Open .scptd in Editor, but want it to run.

When I opened an AppleScript file for the first time I remember getting a dialog that asked if I should run it by default or open by default. I chose open. But I really want run. Now I can't find the option to change it to run a script by default.

Okay, not really sure how you saved it originally but (depending on exactly what you want to do) there are a couple options, the most common probably this:
Open the script in the editor on the desktop
Go to file > save as (which gets you a save window)
Specify a location to save to (say, Desktop)
As "File Format" choose "Application"
As "Options," leave boxes unchecked. If you check "Run Only," that will make the script itself inaccessible to you and others -- so, unless you want that, don't check it.
(These are what you'll find if you're using the usual "Script Editor," but if you're using another editor (e.g., Script Debugger) the choices may have different names but will be similar.)
You will get a script application icon on the desktop. Double-clicking that will run the script without again showing the script editor window. This app may also be entered into Startup Items (System Preferences), in which case it will run each time the computer is started. Finally, regrding the desktop icon, there ways to customize the icon itself.

  • I used to be able to open Earthlink through a desktop icon but the icon now opens through Internet Explorer. I can open it through foxfire but want separate ic

    A friend used my computer to access his gmail account. I had to sign out of my gmail account but am now back. In the course of trying to help him access his account I opened Internet access.
    After it appeared that my gmail account was ok I opened my Earthlink account through the desktop icon as usual. However, my password was not longer there and it was not opening in Foxfire. When I clicked on Foxfire my Earthlink account was there as was my password (hidden of course but saved) I want to be able to have a separate icon for Earthlink that includes my password. How do I do that? And I want to delete the one that appreas to go through Internet Explorer.

    Was the shortcut created with Firefox, or Win IE?
    Type '''about:preferences#general'''<enter> in the address bar.
    Turn on '''Always Check Firefox Default Browser.'''

    It's almost certainly too late.
    The time to create a backup is before a catastrophe.  After a catastrophe, it's too late.

  • Want to start PSE 12 in photo editor but it will only start in Orgaizer, can't get to welcome screen and the .exe file that Adobe said to look for does not exist on my files

    Have tried to start PSE 12 in photo editor but it continues to start in Organizer.  I do not want my pictures loaded in Organizer at all.  Saw a page on the web that said to click on an .exe editor file but that is not on my files.  Also cannot get a welcome screen to come up, only an organizer even though I checked it the first time to come up in photo editor.  I'm now having Organizer crammed down my throat.  Tried online chat but was cut off with the statement that no support is offered for v12 any longer.

    Hi,
    You failed to say which operating system you are running on so I'm assuming it is Windows of some type.
    You should be able to find the following files, using explorer, depending on your system.
    64bit system: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    32bit system: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Double clicking on that should start the editor - suggest to create a shortcut to it.
    If you can't find one of those files, then you either installed it somewhere else or you need to re-install elements.

  • I got a divorce and my ex took the ITunes account! Ineed to open a new one but i dont want to loose all my apps! HELP

    My exwife took the ITunes acount! i need to open a new one but i dont want to loose all my apps

    Sorry, but the apps are tied to the former iTunes Store account, and if your ex wife was granted ownership, you no longer have a legal right to the apps and will have to purchase them again through your own new iTunes Store account.

    == This happened ==
    A few times a week

    Firefox is shutting down windows I want to remain open. Example: I am done viewing one window. I click the X to shut the window and it shuts two windows. Every single time, attempt to close one windows, two windows close. Lately, I have been opening several windows with nothing but google search, just so it will shut that window and not something else I want to remain open. I could understand this if I was using tabs, but I am not. This has been going on for over two weeks. I don't like going back to history to open a window, I did not want closed in the first place. Isn't that what 'Windows' is all about? Any ideas?

    My iTunes and App store are opening in chinese language but I want to convert it into English... How to do that???

    As far as I know the language of the two stores on the iPad (iTunes and the App Store) can't be changed - they should be in the language of the country where your account is based (if they aren't correct then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in).

  • After snapshot it says copied, but to where? How do i open a screenshot? I want to enlarge a ss

    Hi, After snapshot it says copied, but to where? How do i open a screenshot? I want to enlarge a screenshot and have paid a subscription to adobe thinking i couldn't open any saved screenshot, but still there is nowhere to open anything? Maybe i,m being stupid but i have You Tubed the problem and nothing is available. I am logged in and i am past myself trying for hours to open a screenshot as i need to enlarge it.
    PLEASE help, many thanks in advance, Tony.

    I don't have word, i am not bothered about any quality, i just need my diagram bigger.
    I can't believe in 2015 it is so difficult, i have been trying all day:(
    Surely there must be some quick software where you paste a pdf document, make it bigger or smaller and save.
    Ohhh just so you know,,, i DON'T want to use my printer to make it bigger, that's too hit and miss, too trial and error, i need to make it a size and keep it that size in a doc.
    PLEASEEEEEEE help, i am going crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • Urgent my site don't want to open on Internet Explorer but is ok on Safari

    Urgent my site don't want to open on Internet Explorer but is ok on Safari
    This is a site I made for my client http://www.ajanatransportation.com/ everything was ok until I instal the text effect on the top (It's an XML flash text)
    I didn't see it before tonight... My client didn't say anything but I'm sure is not very happy!
    Well can anybody tell me what do I need to do to fix that problem Please>>>>
    To me it's like a missing div or something like that...

    Hi JP,
    my IE 8 shows your website correctly in my oppinion (hope I understood your concern in the right way), please have a look here:
    First phase:
    Second phase:
    Third phase:
    By the way, your "automatic srolling news on the top" starting with "Welcome to Ajana Transportation" also works fine.
    Hans-G.
    P.S.
    If you would come closer to the rotate idea, we should use for the required time segments simply the same images and call them in a multiple manner in the list.

  • Premiere 8.0 Welcome Screen will load the editor, but will not open a project...

    Hi all, this is a small issue but annoying to me... After the welcome screen comes up, I click on "Open Project" and then on a name of my project I would like to work with. After a few seconds, the welcome screen loads the project editor, but the screen stays green, no matter how long I wait, and the projcet I selected does not open. Then I have to go to Files->Open Project and load the project again. Shouldn't the project load automatically if I selected this option from a welcome screeen? I have the 8.0.1 update installed...

    Thanks for you post Steve, you're right. But even if I select a specific project name
    from the Open drop down menu, it still opens a blank screen. Can live with that, but they should fix
    it... The same thing happens when you click on "New Project" in Welcoem Screen: blank screen opens and then you have to go to File -> New project. But if the editor is already open, the problem does not exist, it will do the right thing right away (i.e. open a project or start a new one from the Welcome Screen command)...
