On run and On Open in AppleScript Studio

On run and On Open in AppleScript Studio 12/28/2004 07:41 PM
benlong: "I've got an AppleScript Studio project that currently centers around an on open handler, but I'd like to include an on run handler for instances where people double-click the app instead of dropping something on to it. Though I've done this before using AppleScript without ASS, I can't get it to work now - the on Run handler never seems to get triggered. Is this just me"

The Safari dock icon behavior has always annoyed me. If you have no windows open and click on it, it will open a new Safari window. Great. However, if you have other windows open or minimized to the dock, it will just rest...

What is "delegation" in AppleScript?

What is "delegation" in AppleScript? 06/17/2004 12:59 PM
Delegation in AppleScript is similar to a filter. Using delegation, you can catch events which are not owned by you, then make some operations or let them flow.

Applescript vs. Cocoa

Applescript vs. Cocoa 02/07/2005 01:20 AM
"Ken Ferry mailed me about my iTunes controller, wondering what the overhead was for using Applescript in my Lisp controller. With a little experimentation I found that calling out to the shell added about 350ms to the runtime for each call, plus execution time. To refresh a page which interrogates iTunes for the current track, the current volume, and whether it was set to play on random or not would take well over a second just to call the scripts."

Experiences with AppleScript

Experiences with AppleScript 04/08/2005 12:25 PM
Simon Brown: "If you've not seen AppleScript, it's a cross between a 3rd generation language and english. There's a fairly good language guide on the Apple website, although it's no tutorial. The script editor itself works well and I particularly like the way it auto-indents when you save or compile."

AppleScript Documentation

AppleScript Documentation 10/29/2003 12:13 AM
AppleScript is Apple's native scripting technology. It enables users to directly control applications, including the Mac OS itself, by creating sets of English-like instructions, or scripts. Developers can make their applications scriptable; that is, capable of responding to Apple events. Carbon and Cocoa applications both support scripting, allowing applications to execute scripts or send individual Apple events to take advantage of features of other applications.

AppleScript in Panther

AppleScript in Panther 10/29/2003 12:13 AM
Topping the list of important features is the new scriptable image processing architecture called Image Events. Script Editor application has been totally re-written to become a native Mac OS X application. Menus, windows, and dialogs of these applications can now be queried and controlled via AppleScript's new Graphic User Interface scripting architecture. iCal 1.5 includes the ability to set the execution of scripts as an action for calendar events.

AppleScript Basics

AppleScript Basics 08/12/2004 01:26 PM
You use AppleScript's Script Editor application to write small programs or scripts that include specially worded statements. AppleScript statements are converted by Mac OS into Apple events--messages that can be understood by the operating system and applications. When you run a script, the script can send instructions to the operating system or applications and receive messages in return.

My March 21 entry about upcoming.org turned out to be an odd juxtaposition because, on the same day, a new events database called EVDB was announced and shown at PC Forum. It's due out shortly in public beta but I haven't seen it, so for now I only know what you can also learn from reading, among others: Dan Farber, Ross Mayfield, Om Malik, David Weinberger, and Paul Kedrosky (whose recent archive is missing this morning, yikes). The consensus seems to be that EVDB will be a Web-2.0-style, Wiki-style, RSS-friendly, Flickr-and-del.icio.us-like thingy. Sounds promising! I'll certainly check it out when it's public. ...

Revised Documentation: AppleScript for
Mac OS X 05/28/2004 04:55 PM
This document provides a high-level overview of AppleScript for Mac OS X, along with pointers to additional documentation. AppleScript is a scripting language that provides direct control of scriptable applications and of many parts of the Mac OS. A scriptable application is one that is capable of responding to AppleScript messages, which are called Apple events. Scripters can write scripts to automate operations, while developers can use AppleScript as an aid to rapid prototyping and automated testing of their scriptable applications.

The Playlist to DVD application creates a QuickTime movie containing the audio tracks and album art from a chosen iTunes playlist. The newly created movie, and an album art slideshow, are automatically added to the currently open iDVD project. And since the added 640x480 movie is created with chapter markers, it's easy to sequentially navigate its tracks using standard DVD controls.

Bottom

AppleScript and Cocoa: from Top to
Bottom 09/01/2004 02:08 AM
AppleScript lets users - end users - combine abilities of the applications on their system to perform tasks that no single application can perform on its own. This means that a user can use data from one application, process it in another, and pass it on to a third. In the same way that Unix tools can be combined in very powerful ways on the command line, AppleScript lets users create solutions that are more than the sum of their parts. As well, AppleScript lets users automate repetitive tasks that they have to do often so that they can save time and effort.

Brian Foy: "Now that I have Panther, I can play around with Image Events. Prior to this, I used Perl to read in an image from my phone, scale it to 320x240, then add a black border around the image. Now Applescript makes this really easy. Cobbling together a couple of scripts from the Apple web site, I get the job done in a very Mac like way."
