I was surfing the web at home and came across a site that talked about a new applescript front end for a unix program, but it required xml tools as a free download. for the life of me I can't remember what it was...have any of you apple-heads seen what I'm talking about? My brain hurts.

Have you done a boolean on all of the strings above? (applescript, front end, unix, XML tools)?

And have you searched the OSX software archives at Apple?

Yes, I've googled like the wind, but it is too current, and I haven't found a site (yet) that tracks current movements in applescript/os x.

applescript/osx is such a cool combination. Finally there are friendly happy interfaces to some really hairy unix commands. I've gotta learn more applescript. I just discovered (after searching the web off and on for a month) that there are native scripts in os x for batch renaming files and changing the cases of file titles. Totally cool, and much easier than trying to do it in perl.

Oooh! batch resize files from the finder with a free applescript. Cool!
