When creating a script button, you are presented with an open file dialog box where you select the desired AppleScript. Fortunately, there is a fifth type of palette button supported by Sweet P-the script button. Many of these people have favorite AppleScripts they use to automate or augment portions of Mailsmith. These four functions may not be enough to satisfy the power-hungry Mailsmith users out there. As Mailsmith allows you to assign keyboard combinations to any menu item, you can create a button for any item found in a menu. These options alone will be enough to satisfy many people. You can create a new message, check your e-mail, change a message’s label, and pass a menu key combination to Mailsmith. Fortunately, it has functionality to go along with its form.Īt its most basic level Sweet P supports four different functions via palette buttons. If this were all Sweet P did, it would be quite a disappointment. The AppleScript, tell application “Sweet P 1.1" to quit, is included in the help file.īy now, you probably get that Sweet P does an excellent impression of a floating palette. Simply place Sweet P (or an alias to Sweet P) in the startup folder and a one line AppleScript in the shutdown folder. Using the “Mailsmith Startup Items” and “Mailsmith Shutdown Items” folders, you can automate the launch and quit process. Once I downloaded the application, however, I realized my concerns were misplaced. At first, this might make you think twice about using the application after all, what good is Sweet P if I must baby-sit it whenever I want to use Mailsmith? In fact, I passed on Sweet P for a long time for this very reason. I mentioned the need to launch and quit Sweet P.
Aside from these, Sweet P integrates perfectly with Mailsmith. Visually, there are only two things that quickly indicate Sweet P is actually its own application: the aforementioned listing in the application menu and a slightly different look to the title bar when compared to Mailsmith’s floating palette. Typically they float over every window in their application and they disappear when their application is in the background. There are a few traits we’ve come to expect from floating palettes.
