Inspired by Ovid's terminal applescript, Chris wrote a Mac::Glue version for iTerm. I've turned that into Mac::iTerm::LaunchPad and given it even more features. It opens a new window with multiple tabs, one for each directory I specify. The arguments can be aliases (nicknames, not the fs type) for directories. Once I had this in came in very handy for developing itself and releasing itself.
---Frontmost finder directory, defaulting to desktop % new-iterm
---Frontmost finder directory, using special alias % new-iterm finder
---Named directory % new-iterm /Users/brian/Dev
---Named directory with ~ % new-iterm ~/Dev
---Multiple tabs % new-iterm ~/Dev ~/Foo ~/Bar
---Aliases, predefined in code % new-iterm music applications
---Aliases, defined in your own ~/.new-iterm-aliases % new-iterm foo bar baz
