210 CHAPTER 12 Options Menu - Edit View • Scripts that work on a highlighted selection. This type requires a highlighted selection to be made. All actions in the script pertain only to the portion that is highlighted, leaving the rest of the waveform untouched. Script Collections This text area displays the title of the currently opened script collection. If the collection in use hasn't been named, New Collection will be displayed. To name a script collection, press the Edit Script File button. The Windows Notepad applet will be launched with the script file loaded. Look for the Collection: entry (it's on the first line of the script file) and overwrite New Collection with your new title. Then, save the file. Note: The text in the Script Collections field will not reflect the name change until you reload the script. Scripts List This area lists the names of all scripts in the currently opened collection. Highlight a script in the list before you edit or run it. Open/New Collection Pressing this button brings up a standard Open dialog with which you can browse your system's folders for script (*.scp) files. Double-click an existing .scp file to open that script collection. To create a new script collection, navigate through the dialog to the folder that you would like to save the .scp file, and enter a name for it in the File Name: field. Next, press Open to save the script file. It will then be ready for use in a new script collection. To name a script collection, press the Edit Script File button. The Windows Notepad applet will be launched with the script file loaded. Look for the Collection: entry (it's on the first line of the script file) and overwrite New Collection with your new title. Then, save the file. Note: The text in the Script Collections field will not reflect the name change until you reload the script. Run Script Click on this button to run the currently selected script. If the script type isn't compatible with Adobe Audition's current state (i.e., trying to a Script Starts from Scratch script with a file open), the script won't run until Adobe Audition's condition matches the requirements (in this case, closing all open files). Batch Run A single script can be run repeatedly over a group of source files. The script must have been recorded in a Works on Current Wave mode - that is, before the script was recorded, there must have been an open waveform (perhaps blank) and no highlighted selection. The Batch Run button is only selectable if a script of this type is selected from the Scripts List. Note: For more information, see the section on Batch Processing later in this chapter. Pause at Dialogs Check this option to have the script stop at each dialog, allowing you to modify the values of that function. Pressing Cancel in any dialog will stop the script. Pressing OK will continue it. Alert when complete If this option is checked, a dialog will signal the completion of the script. Execute Relative to Cursor When using Works on Current Wave types of scripts, check this option to have all script operations performed relative to the original positioning, as opposed to at the original position.
