In AppleScript you can run script from a drop down when you add AppleScript to your menu bar. To activate the script icon in the menu bar open Script Editor. When Script Editor is opened go into Preferences, shortcut cmd+,. In the Preferences panel make sure you are in the General section
. If you're in the General Section
to the bottom you will need to check the checkbox Show Script menu in menu bar
to the right of Script Menu:
. After checking Show Script menu in menu bar
make sure to check Show Computer scripts
, too.
After the script icon is added to the menu bar you can gain access to the scripts directory by clicking the script icon and in the drop down select Open Scripts Folder
click the caret and select Open Computer Scripts Folder
. When that is completed a new window should be created and a directory folder named Scripts
will be highlighted. Double click the Scripts
folder and you now have the location where you can drop your scripts so that when you click the script icon in the menu bar you can select your script from the drop down.
If you're wanting the path to the scripts directory:
