This looks great. Will applescript support be coming back? I'm using consular iterm to start and stop projects. https://github.com/achiu/consular-iterm

Can anyone recommend another macro tool that can set up a bunch of processes running in tabs?

Applescript support is improved, not removed, but incompatibly. https://iterm2.com/applescript.html

Applescript is supported, just in a more consistent way now.

This is the new syntax: https://iterm2.com/applescript.html

Edit: I'm not the developer! I'm just a fan.

What you are looking for sounds a lot like TMUX + Bash (scripted tmux setup). Then you can run that inside of iTerm.

Tmux supports tabs and dynamic splits nicely via ncurses.

Also check out tmux ressurect [1] for saving tmux session persistence.

FWIW, I've been running the dev builds for ages now (currently on 2.9.2015111), and it wasn't a big deal to update my (few) scripts. The new AppleScript dictionary is definitely a bit better, and simplified my scripts.

Hey - I wrote one for iTerm called iTermocil:

Yiu can use teamocil style files to configures panes/tabs and starting commands for each pane.

Let me know how you find it! :)
