Run Scripts in Foxel
Foxel can run scripts directly inside the app.
You can either execute a script manually when you need it, or assign it to an Action Bar button for faster repeated use.
Why This Matters
Once a script exists, the next question is how you want to use it.
Foxel supports both occasional manual execution and faster repeated execution through Action Bar buttons.
This gives you two practical options:
- Run a script manually when you only need it sometimes.
- Assign a script to a button when it becomes part of your regular workflow.
Execute Script Action
To run a script manually:
- Click the Execute Script button in the Action Bar.
- Select the script you want to run.
This is useful when:
- You only need the script occasionally.
- You do not want to dedicate a button to it.
- You are still testing the script.
- You want to choose from several scripts as needed.
Manual execution is the simplest way to run a script inside Foxel.
Assigning Scripts To Action Bar Buttons
You can also assign a script directly to a button in the Action Bar.
To assign a script:
- Right-click the button you want to use.
- Select Assign Script.
- Choose the script in the dialog that opens.
Once assigned, click the button to execute the script.
This is useful when:
- The script is part of your regular workflow.
- You want one-click access.
- The same task happens often.
- You want the script to feel like a normal in-app tool.
When To Use Which One
A simple rule is:
- Use Execute Script for occasional scripts.
- Use Assign Script for scripts you run frequently.
This gives you both flexibility and speed inside Foxel.
You can start by running a script manually, then assign it to a button later if you use it often.
What To Remember
- Foxel can run scripts directly inside the app.
- Execute Script runs a script manually from the Action Bar.
- Assign Script binds a script to an Action Bar button.
- Manual execution is good for occasional use and testing.
- Button assignment is good for repeated use.
- Scripts can become one-click workflow actions inside the app.
