- ダウンロード商品¥ 3,000
AppleScript The BASIC Technics is literally a series of basic AppleScript techniques. The "contextual menu" appears when you click the right (secondary) mouse button while a file is selected in the Finder. The ability to display and execute user-prepared AppleScripts here is not provided by default in macOS. In order to display/execute AppleScript there, you need to use some tool together. This is an easy-to-understand book that explains how to create contextual menu scripts with the Automator, Shortcut, and Service Station tools, which appear when you click the right (secondary) mouse button while a file is selected in the Finder.
