Title: Re: [ANN] Usable Keychain Scripting
Wonderful, Daniel. With very minor changes (generic key --> generic item) my scripts convert easily: e.g.

to getPW(KeyName)
      
tell application "Usable Keychain Scripting" to tell current keychain to tell (some generic item whose name is KeyName) to set PWD to password
end getPW
getPW("theName")

I used to use "generic key" whenever possible because with relatively few of them, finding them was faster than the more crowded kinds.

I got fed up with the insanely slow and persnickety Keychain Scripting, and decided to write my own.  I invite others who are frustrated with Keychain Scripting to try the 1.0b1 version of Usable Keychain Scripting:

It's basically a reimplementation from the ground up, based on the existing dictionary from Keychain Scripting. Read the blog entry for more details, but the long story short is that for at least one measurable operation, my implementation is 260x faster than the standard one.

Enjoy!

Daniel
