applescripts in toolbar bug?

Hi,

It seems that after some frustration I've found a little bug.

Trying to get my applescripts to show up in the toolbar, I realized,  
reading the help *very* carefully, that it said ~/Library/Scripts/ 
Applications/OmniOutliner Pro
and not ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/OmniOutliner Professional.

In upgrading to Tiger, I had simply aliased all scripts folders to ~/ 
Library/Scripts/Applications/, so I had named the OO Pro folder  
OmniOutliner Professional. And this worked with the system script  
menu. Up until now, I hadn't wanted scripts in my toolbar. Needless  
to say, not finding these scripts in the Customize toolbar pane  
confounded me to no end.

Finally, I found that OO Pro only looks in ~/Library/Scripts/ 
Applications/OmniOutliner Pro for scripts, whereas the script menu  
will look in either OmniOutliner Professional or OmniOutliner Pro --  
but not both (I'm guessing depending on which was there first).

Also, OO Pro will not take an alias to another folder for finding  
scripts for the toolbar, but the script menu will. Both though work  
with symlinks.

I hope that's clear; I was pretty confused for a while. Fortunately,  
I got it to work correctly by removing both folders, loading OO to  
find no scripts, and making a fresh OmniOutliner Pro folder.

I'm running OO 3.0.4b2 on 10.4.2.
