Scripting and Recording in ImageAXS

ImageAXS is fully scriptable (meaning that it understands

scripts written in the AppleScript language). Also, most

non–dialog box options, as well as the functions in the Sort

Collection dialog box, are recordable (meaning that when

you use the Record button in the Script Editor application,

the actions you perform with ImageAXS generate

AppleScript statements for performing those actions).

Instructions on recording and editing scripts are beyond the

scope of this manual, but the Apple Computer book Getting

Started with AppleScript provides basic information for

anyone who wants to learn about scripting and recording.

The Scripts menu in ImageAXS contains examples of useful

features that can be created via scripting. In the Finder,

drag the ImageAXS application icon over the Script Editor

icon to open the ImageAXS Script Dictionary. This

dictionary contains a list of commands (grouped by

function) that can be used to generate ImageAXS scripts.
