The Script Bar Manager manipulates small text files that describe script bars — a type of toolbar that can quickly launch scripts or commands on the main menu. You can start the script manager from the Scripts menu.
The selector at top left selects the script bar being edited; its file name is shown immediately below the script name, with the list of script buttons listed under that. Use the New button to create a new script bar; you will enter a name for your script bar, then select a file name for it within your personal scripts folder. You can also use the Save As button to duplicate a script with a new name, use Chg. Name to change the human- readable name (not the file name), or you can Delete a script bar, which will delete the script bar’s file from disk (but not any of the scripts).
Each button has a short name, shown in the list, in addition to the longer full script name and file name, both of which are shown when an individual button is selected in the list. You can double-click a button to change the short name, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the order, or click Remove to remove a button from the script bar (this does NOT delete the script from disk).
To add a button to a script bar, select the script name or menu command in the selector at bottom, then click the add button. You will be able to select or adjust the short name as the button is added.
Script Bar Manager Reference
Once you have created a script bar, or even while you are working on it, click Launch to open the script bar.
SynthEyes saves the position of script bars when it closes, and re-opens all open scripts when it next starts. If you have changed monitor configurations, it is possible for a script bar to be restored off-screen. If this should happen, click the Find button and the script bar will appear right there.
