Mekkablue scripts: major update

mekkablue · July 27, 2019, 9:53am

Many of you are using the mekkablue scripts. Please be aware that starting today, over the coming weeks, the repository will undergo a major cleanup and update.

The changes are for the better, I hope. There will be a couple of cases where a single GUI will replace a bunch of scripts. But many outdated or too-specialised scripts will be kicked out.

So, if you are missing functionality, please let me know here and we will find a solution.

Rainer, I just wanted to thank you for all the amazing scripts you’ve developed. I’ve seen a video of some conference where you giggled at the sight of people using your scripts — there are far more than you think Thanks so much for your great work!

George_Thomas · July 27, 2019, 7:30pm

Rainer’s scripts are some of the most useful for me. I depend on them. Happy to see they are being updated.

mekkablue · July 27, 2019, 9:05pm

Thanks!

Most new scripts are in place now, I am still going through them, updating and unifying the names. Will update the readme soon.

If you are missing a script you have been using a lot:

Let me know here.
Most removed scripts found a new home in my ‘GitHub gists’: https://gist.github.com/mekkablue

Unless you have other plans for it, please put Select Same Color back. It’s one I use often.

mekkablue · July 28, 2019, 9:12am

I moved the Select scripts to the GitHub gist, they are now available here:

Personally, I have smart filters in the sidebar corresponding to each color label… It’s usually quicker to click that than find the script.

robkeller · July 29, 2019, 7:32am

Thank you Rainer!!! This is awesome!

ammazzarella · July 29, 2019, 11:12am

Thanks Rainer, that’s great! Any chances Find and replace in Instance parameters will be ported to the new repo too?

mekkablue · July 29, 2019, 11:15am

It is now in the Font Info submenu.

ammazzarella · July 29, 2019, 11:20am

Thanks! Is it there already? I can only see three scripts and none of them is the Find and replace one

mekkablue · July 29, 2019, 11:40am

It is there:

Did you update the scripts? And you are in the mekkablue scripts, right? (Not the schriftlabor scripts.)

ammazzarella · July 29, 2019, 11:52am

It is! I updated but then forgot to reload scripts.

Johannes · July 30, 2019, 4:30pm

Amazing Rainer, thank you!!

anodpixels · August 5, 2019, 8:10pm

Simply amazing @mekkablue !!! Thank you in so so so many ways man!!

Hi Rainer, can you check and verify if the Hinting/Remove PS Hints script is working on Glyphs 3.
It’s not for me so I’m using it in G2 and get the pop up dialogue box – which isn’t appearing in G3.

Cormullion · November 27, 2020, 4:15pm

I think he’s fixed that one:

Did you do a git fetch/pull in the Scripts folder?

JeremyTankard · November 27, 2020, 4:45pm

and you get the pop up dialogue now?

I’ve refreshed the scripts via Plugin/Scripyts and GitHub. Restarted, still no luck.
I’ve done the work, so I’m not overly concerned.

Cormullion · November 27, 2020, 4:58pm

This one works well, for me.

OK. I don’t get that. At least I know it’s my set up then.
