If there was ever a language that needed object introspection, it’d be AppleScript. Also, screw what the ad copy says, this thing is confusing as fuck. Part of it is that it’s just so haphazardly documented. It took me 20 minutes of searching to finally find that GUI Scripting can only be done via the System Events object. The other part is that it’s bass-ackward… and the examples suck and don’t have any comments. (Come on, I want to know simple things, like file loading and file properties)
- UI Browser – GUI Scripting tips – no easy way to navigate Panther file dialog w/o Default Folder X?
- Apple: Scriptable Applications: Bluetooth Devices – example w/ right arrow key
- Better iTunes handling of M3U playlists – what I want to try to improve upon, in theory, easy, just call the Import M3U menu item on the file…
Hmm, a recipe-book wiki would be quite cool. Can I invoke the lazyweb?
