I had an applescript idea that I think could be very useful. What if
applescripts could provide their own third pane items items?
Right now an applescript can indicate a subset of the global catalog by
indicating the indirect types. But that is filtering against the global
catalog without any awareness of the first pane object.
Instead, what if we added a "indirect choices" handler that allowed the
applescript to indicate a list of third pane choices for the user. The
script could build and return the third pane choices based on the first
pane object. QS would show them in the third pane, allow the user to pick,
then call the open handler normally with the items and selected indirect
items.
For example, a script could allow copying text to a particular header
inside a word document:
get indirect choices _items_
-- cool applescript here that looks at _items_ to build a text list of
choices
return { "text list of headers in document" }
end get indirect choices
Or it could be used to handle variations on the action, for example for a
"copy to server" script:
get indirect choices _items_
return { "normal", "force" }
end get indirect choices
Or the script could filter the third/indirect items to the ones that
mattered for the first pane object.
get indirect choices _items_
return { "only folders/servers/URLs than make sense for _items_" }
end get indirect choices
