FastScripts 3 is now available

Hi folks! I know there are some long-time FastScripts fans in the forum so I wanted to make sure you are aware of a major new upgrade to FastScripts which supports new features including parallel execution of scripts, searching the script menu, showing script progress, and more. You can read more about the update here:

Thanks!

Congratulations! Nice upgrade :slight_smile:

Thanks, Shane!!

This looks fantastic. The parallel processing with progress indicators and script stop buttons will be really handy. We’ll try it out and I hope we’ll upgrade all users soon.

Thanks,

Tom.

Ah, I didn’t see it requires 10.15 or newer… we’re mostly on Mojave, so we’ll need to get users past that first.

Is there still a URL to download the last version of Fastscripts 2.x? We’re going to to need to keep installing that until we’re past Mojave.

Thanks.

FastScripts officially requires 10.15 but I left 10.14 support enabled for anybody who wants to give it a try. At some point during 3.0 development I ran into an issue that made me think I didn’t want to fully support 10.14, but unfortunately I can’t remember it right now. Might have been some visual glitch that you could live with if it doesn’t bother you.

Great, thanks Daniel. Appreciate the link.

Fastscripts is mission-critical for us, so I think we’ll wait to go to 3 until we’re past Mojave. We hope to be there soon.
