Description

AmScriptsCMX is a contextual menu plugin, which allows you to launch an AppleScript or Automator workflow in the Scripts folders from the contextual menu.

You can launch a script/workflow in "User Scripts Folder" (~/Library/Scripts), "Library Scripts Folder" (/Library/Scripts) and "Application Scripts Folder" (~/Library/Scripts/Applications/app_name). The scripts whose format are Compiled Script or Application (Script Bundle or Application bundle if Mac OS X 10.3 and later, Automator workflow if Mac OS X 10.4 and later) are listed up in the contextual menu.
