PreFab UI Browser 1.0.1
UI Browser helps scripters explore, control and monitor the user interface of most Mac OS X applications. It lets you navigate the user interface hierarchy then generate useful AppleScript statements with a single click. Release notes: Fixes several minor problems, improves speed and stability, and adds many new features.
New features include keyboard shortcuts to generate commonly used AppleScript commands, preference options to send generated scripts directly to Script Editor 2.0, Script Debugger or Smile in a single step, option to target background applications such as the Dock, and improvements which take advantage of Accessibility enhancements in Mac OS X 10.2.4. Update: The press release is now available and includes more details on the changes.
