ScriptRunner script for CS2, neat way to launch scripts

Do you feel that the File/Scripts menu access to the Scripts is deep
down and far away. And in case there are tens of scripts do you feel it
is messy. I do. The other way to launch Scripts (and to have them
decently organized) is to record an Action Button for each. Very time
consuming.

So I wrote the ScriptRunner.jsx script. It is started from an Action
Button and provides a dialog with a list in alphabetic order of all
those JSX scripts in that folder where the ScriptRunner.jsx resides. A
click on an entry on the list will run that script. So, two click access
to a set of your scripts, very rapid in the use. Very simple to install.
Scripts can be organized into many folders with a copy of
ScriptRunner.jsx in each. Download here:

Also the ActionSetChanger is updated, now much more easy to set up.

Yep, clicking on File > Scripts is just too much. What the hell was Adobe
thinking making this time consuming, difficult and confusing. We all need to
boycott Adobe until they fix this unworkable mess.
