ToasterScript reference?

[Liber777]

Pardon me if I missed this somewhere, but where can I find reference documentation and hopefully examples for ToasterScript?

Thanks,
Stivan

Yeah. What he said.

That must be Andrew Cross' only spot on an otherwise briliant effort coordinating the Toaster development. Sadly they have been deaf and blind to all pleas by users to release some sort of TScript documentation so users could develop their own ways around some (many?) of the Toaster's limitations.

don't hold me to this, but I hear tell that Aussie is on the case....there is a tutorial on this site about Tscript.

I can't help beyond that, it's all alphabet soup to me

[RuiFeliciano]

C'mon guys...That example is the same if all that Newtek shipped regarding T2 was the splash screen...not much you could do then uh? ;)
Without a reference guide (at a minimum) there's no one that can guess the commands, what's their purpose, the syntax, what inputs they take, what they output, etc.

I think Faraz (or someone) did some experimentation with the Scripts and from what I remember, it's not brain surgery. I haven't had any personal experience however - so I'm just going on what my old, feeble gray matter is spitting out at this moment.

I have also heard Aussie is on the case and something is coming. But to tell you the truth, I'd prefer VT[3] have a higher priority right now....... ;)

[weaponsInspecto]

I agree with you Jim about the priority issue. But the brain science thing... With out a guide or syntax resource, it would be like trying to write a story in the Russian language, after only reading a few pages of a Russian newspaper.

At a minimum, I just want a reference. I can figure out the rest...!

Most all the keyboard shortcuts are written in Toaster Scipt, if you browse through the skins folder, in each module's folder you'll find a common support folder, the kbd.ToasterScript has most of the keyboard shortcuts.

In the main root folder, for example the "Swithcer folder" there is also a user Scripts folder, in that folder store all your scripts. The read-me in there also has a list of the commands for that module. You can also browse the "Common Support" folder and find more information.
