It can be convenient to be able to quickly run scripts or access menu commands as you work, without having to search through the menus or remember a keyboard command. You can create script bars for this purpose, which are small floating windows with a column of buttons, one for each script or menu item you would like to quickly access. Use the Script Bar Manager to create and modify the script bars, and the Script bar submenu of the Scripts menu to open them.
Script bars are automatically re-opened and re-positioned each time you start SynthEyes, if they were open when SynthEyes last closed.
Important : Script bars are stored and deployed as small text files. When you create a new script bar, you must store it in either one of the system-wide script folders or your user script folder. To see the proper locations, use the Script/User script folder or Script/System script folder menu items to open the File Explorer or Finder to the corresponding folder.
The Camera and Perspective views have their own kind of floating toolbars as well, though they are limited to existing built-in operations and there is no manager for them (they are controlled by the user-changable XML file camtool14.xml and pertool14.xml). You can save your placements, and whether toolbars are open or not, using the Save as Defaults item on the respective right-click/Toolbars menu.
