Did you know that you can right click on a tab and choose “Script Properties” to see information and options for that script? Give it a try! When you right click on a tab and choose “Script Properties” in ASE you’ll see:
- Full script path and filename
- The type of document (as ASE identifies it)
- Word and line count data
- An option to pop up a dialog to collect a change log entry when the script is closed
- An option to automatically create a time-stamped backup when the script is closed
Change log entries are inserted into a dynamically updated region called “Changelog” (which will initially be created at the very top of the script). There are some further settings to control change log entries in ASE options listed under “Formatting > Change log” where you may specify the format of the change log entries including control over what categories are offered and optional use of several variables for entering dynamic data within the entry (dates, domain, user, etc.). Finally there is also the ability to globally pop up change log entries on all scripts, with an additional option to help prevent it from being dismissed (requiring the user enter some kind of detail and not just hit OK or Cancel).
