It's got a few odd bugs, mostly related to listing comments for removal or editing, but nothing that prevents using it.\n\n## Setup\n### Run it as you would any other AppleScript\nThe easiest way to do this is to drop the script file into your _~/Library/Scripts_ folder and run it from the Script menu in the menu bar. To enable the Script menu, open AppleScript Editor (/Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor.app) and  enable the option for \"Show Script menu in menu bar\" in the AppleScript Editor's preferences window.\n\n### Save it as an application\nOpen the script in AppleScript Editor and select \"Application\" from the _Save As_ menu. From there, there are a couple extra steps.\n\n1. **Add the icon file to the Resources folder**  \nRight-click your application file and select \"Show Package Contents\". Open the _Contents/Resources_ folder and drag the included .icns file (or your own, whatever) into this folder. Go ahead and copy the filename to the clipboard.\n3. **Alter the icon file key in the plist to enable the icon file.**  \nIn the _Contents_ folder is your Info.plist file. Open this file in your editor of choice and find the ````CFBundleIconFile```` key. Change the associated ````\u003cstring\u003e```` entry (directly after ````\u003ckey\u003eCFBundleIconFile\u003c/key\u003e````) to reflect the name of your icon file (without the file extension). If you've used the included icon file, your plist file should read:  \n````  \n\u003ckey\u003eCFBundleIconFile\u003c/key\u003e\n\u003cstring\u003eupdate-comments\u003c/string\u003e  \n````  \nKeep that plist file open, dawg...\n2. **Add a key to the plist file so the dock icon will remain hidden.**   \nIn order to keep New File from showing a dock icon (which, IMHO is dumb and pointless for this type of application), you need to _add_ the following to the plist file:  \n````\n\u003ckey\u003eLSUIElement\u003c/key\u003e\n\u003cstring\u003e1\u003c/string\u003e\n````\n\n## Known issues\nSometimes, when listing comments to remove/replace, comments are duplicated or not listed.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgoodguyry%2Fupdate-comments","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgoodguyry%2Fupdate-comments","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgoodguyry%2Fupdate-comments/lists"}
