Settings
Controlling Scenario is quite simple. You can turn it On or Off and select which events trigger specific scripts.
Turning Scenario On or Off
When turned On, Scenario adds itself to your login items. Turning it off removes it.
Most of the triggers are self-explanatory.
Log-out scripts
Because of the way applications get notified by Mac OS X when they are asked to Quit when the user logs-out, Scenario must make its icon visible if you select to run scripts at that moment.
Important
Writing AppleScripts for use with Scenario required some special care in some cases. We strongly recommend you consult the Scenario Programming Guide before undertaking your programming endeavours.
