When I returned to the Mac in 2005, I used Xee all the time because it was faster and more flexible than Preview and its display of images was larger than you could get in the Finder’s icon view. Xee is a lightweight app for browsing image files. Later in the afternoon James Muspratt reminded me of Do you still use Finder to browse/preview photos? Anything better than Xee? I’m leaving Aperture for files and folders. Pashua, which Jason didn’t know about, could have condensed his four input windows into one. I was reminded of Pashua when I read this post from Jason Snell, in which he wraps Marco Arment’s audio file encoder script in AppleScript and uses AppleScript’s display dialog command to generate a series of windows for collecting input from the user.

Because Pashua has nice defaults, you don’t always have to define every geometric property of every graphical element, but there’s still some trial and error involved in getting the parts exactly where you want them. The results of your interaction with the window are then accessible as items in the dialog dictionary: dialog, dialog, and so on.
Here’s how the window above is defined in Python: python: While Pashua creates a nice GUI, it is itself configured entirely through text, with each element’s position and/or size defined numerically rather than by drawing as it’s done in Xcode. I’ve been using it since 2008 at least, most recently to define the interface to my SnapSCP script for saving and uploading screenshots. File selector sheets for saving or opening.With it, you can define a window that includes
It’s a free Mac application that helps you put GUI front ends on scripts written in Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, Bash, AppleScript, and even Tcl and Rexx. Pashua is Carsten Blüm’s gift to scripters. Today I was reminded of a couple of Mac programs I have a long history with but which aren’t as well known as they deserve to be: Pashua and Xee.
