Adding a 'Scripts' Menu Item

Hello,


Is it possible to add a ‘Scripts’ menu item for whatever application you choose so as to be able to run scripts in that app?


Thanks.

MacBook Air, macOS Sierra (10.12.3)

You can enable a Scripts menu item on the Finder menu bar via the Script Editor's Preferences : General panel. You then have the choice of whether application scripts appear at the top, or bottom of this menubar menu. This Finder script menubar item remains after Script Editor has quit, and it will not place a script menu on applications.


Not all applications are scriptable with AppleScript as the author chose not to provide AppleScript support.
