A scriptable program is one that can respond to Apple Events. A recordable program is one that generates those events for you as you use it - just like recording a macro. ScriptMaster XT™ now makes QuarkXPress recordable by generating scripting events while you work. With ScriptMaster you don't need to learn how to write scripts because it generates the proper scripting syntax automatically. You just record your actions as you work and then play the script back!
Features
• Record directly to memory or to a script editor
• Hot links to your favorite scripting program for instant editing
• Run scripts from within QuarkXPress using ScriptMaster’s handy palette
• The fully navigable palette makes moving between script folders easy
• Box labels help you write scripts by showing you how boxes are named
• The ScriptMaster Suite: our own events to enhance the QuarkXPress scripting dictionary
• A set of useful example scripts to get you started
ScriptMaster XT can make you more productive with QuarkXPress today. Using ScriptMaster you can turn those repetitive, routine tasks of document creation into powerful scripts which you can run again and again, each doing their job quickly and accurately and helping you get from design to production faster than ever before.
Differences Between the Full Version and the Demo Version:
The demo version of ScriptMaster XT causes QuarkXPress to run in demo mode. Any documents that you save while in demo mode will not be readable by QuarkXPress while in its normal mode.
Most of the event recording has been disabled, except for:
• The View menu
• The tool palettes
• Window resizing
The ScriptMaster Suite is visible with the QuarkXPress dictionary but all calls to it return error messages:
“This event is not implemented in the ScriptMaster XT Demo”.
