User Script Folder. Opens your personal folder of custom scripts in the Explorer or Finder. Handy for making or modifying your own. SynthEyes will mirror the subfolder structure to produce a submenu tree, so you can keep yours separate, for example.
System Script Folder. Opens SynthEyes’s folder of factory scripts. Helpful for quickly installing new script releases. SynthEyes will mirror the subfolder structure to produce a submenu tree, so you can put all the unused scripts into a common folder to simplify the view, for example.
Run Script. Runs a Sizzle, python, or Synthia script, supplying it with information to connect with this SynthEyes instance.
Script bars. Sub-menu allowing you to open script bars, which give you buttons to push to whatever scripts you want.
Script Bar Manager . The Script Bar Manager allows you to create, edit, and delete script bars, which contain buttons that run scripts.
(Most-recent scripts area.) Shows the last few scripts you've run, for quick access including a keyboard accelerator. You can control the number from the Save/Export section of the preferences.
(Tool Scripts). Any tool scripts will appear here; selecting one will execute it. Such scripts can reach into the current scene to act as scripted importers, gather statistics, produce output files, or make changes. Standard scripts include Filter Lens F.O.V., Invert Perspective, Select by type, Motion capture calibrate, Shift constraints, etc. Scripts in the user's area are listed with an asterisk (*) as a prefix. If a user's script has the same name as a system script, thus replacing it, the user's script will be used, and it is prefixed with three asterisks(***) to note this situation.Note that importers and exporters have their own submenus on the File menu. See the Sizzle reference manual for information on writing scripts.
