CHAPTER 2: The ExtendScript Toolkit The Script Editor 18
The favorite script locations that you define are also available to the Find and Replace dialog; see
“
Searching in text” on page 24.
You can also examine and set favorite locations using the Favorites page of the Preferences dialog (Edit >
Preferences). Use the Add, Modify, and Remove buttons to edit the list of folders.
Adobe Scripts folder
On first launch, the Toolkit creates a folder named Adobe Scripts in the user's Documents folder. The
Default favorite in the Scripts panel displays the contents of this folder.
When double-clicking a JSX file, the Toolkit normally acts as an invisible security filter. Before actually
launching the file, a security dialog asks if it is OK to execute the script. The Toolkit treats the user's
Documents/Adobe Scripts folder, however, as a trusted location; when you double-click a JSX file in that
folder, the Toolkit does not display the security alert.
The Script Editor
The Script Editor is a full-featured source code editor for JavaScript. You can open any number of Script
Editor document windows; each displays one Unicode source code document.
The Script Editor offers many useful and powerful text editing and navigation features. Some are intended
specifically for use with JavaScript, while others are useful for all kinds of text editing. Features include:
X Navigation aids and options applicable to any kind of text, and specific code navigation for JavaScript;
see “
Navigation aids” on page 19.
X General editing and coding support such as undo-redo, and specific JavaScript coding support such
as syntax checking; see “
Coding aids” on page 22.
