PowerScripts Updates

PowerScripts 3.8.8

Released 2026-10-10

PowerScripts updates itself - choose Update PowerScripts in the panel menu, or click the update bar when a new version is available
Choose PowerScripts Version in the panel menu lets you switch between installed versions, or go back if an update causes problems
A new installer that runs inside Illustrator, needs no administrator rights and works on Apple Silicon Macs

Dropping a file onto the panel by accident no longer replaces PowerScripts with that file
Names, versions and messages now show correctly in every language
PowerScripts sometimes said it failed to start when it hadn't
An unnecessary 'all scripts are up to date' message
Scripts that load Illustrator actions

Your scripts and settings carry over unchanged from PowerScripts 3.7

Plus other minor improvements and bug fixes.

Also includes the changes from 3.8.6, 3.8.4, 3.8.2.

Usually not needed: PowerScripts updates itself from the panel menu (Update PowerScripts).
