You know, of course, about the Scripting Plugin for OmegaT. If you’re a member of OmegaT Yahoo user group, you may know Yu Tang who provided a bunch of nice scripts to open various files and folders of the currently active OmegaT project. His scripts have been included in the most recent version of the Scripting Plugin. The only problem with them was that one needed to edit them if they were used on OS’es other than MS Windows. Generally not a problem, as many OmegaT users are quite computer savvy, but it would be nicer if they could work everywhere “out of box”.
Yu Tang has updated the scripts so now they check which OS they are running on. If you’re willing to test them out and report any possible problems, please do.
The scripts are listed here and posted on the Pastebin.com with the link to each individual script right before the respective listing.

To test, put the scripts to other scripts that come with the Scripting Plugin and run them on a real or testing OmegaT projects. Among the things to check are: ability to run at all, ability to run when the filenames or path to the projects contain spaces and “special” characters.
You can post your findings in comments, or, if you’re so inclined, here (clickable)
UPDATE
Thanks to all who participated in testing, now shiny new scripts got included in a new release of the Scripting Plugin for OmegaT 2.6, and as an integral part of new OmegaT 3.0. Pretty cool, yeah?
