Script help by Harvester on 03-19-2007 at 02:36 PM

Is there a help file or instructions for the new scripts?  Some are simple and obvious, others are a little... out there.  I'm really surprised you guys don't include a help file.

(One) of my questions is how do I get 'Now Playing' to display my song information for Winamp?  I clicked the PSM tab and checked the box, but it didn't seem to do the job.  Not even sure if that's the procedure.

Any help?

@Sunshine: I think he wants Help File for the Script i.e. Readme or Instructions on how to use the scripts.

Make sure Tools > Options > Personal > Show Song infor mation from Windows Media Player as my personal message is ticked. Yes you need to tick that to let Now Playing script set the now playing psm.

Scipts you install should come with there own help (in the menu for that script under the scripting icon), if not you can search onhere for the thread of that specific script. Also have a look in Scripts Database under that specific script, there's often a link to more information there. Also see Scripts Help.

I did once try to write a chm file to give help for one of my scripts, but it proves a little harder than expected. The most that could be done it to add a text file that explains everything, or a simple HTML page that the user can open from the menu. I think this is something script authors should do if they know people may struggle with some of the functions their script provides. People seem to struggle with some really quite simple scripts
