What happened is that the UNIX execute bit on some AppleScript .apps got cleared. It happened when I was messing around with chmod with the -T option.

There must be a difference between shells or OS versions -- chmod on 10.4 has no -T option that I can see.


Can I somehow fake out Finder so that my #! shell scripts can become double-clickable? Most of my AppleScript applications do nothing more than pass control to shell. AppleScripts are easier than burying a script into a package directory with a /Content/ and other required junque.

I think we're limited to packages. OTOH, it's very easy to create a double-clickable shell script application. I do it with a shell script :)


Another way is to keep them in the Script Menu folder (~/Library/ Scripts). They will run when chosen from the menu.


I shall take Singh's book to bed with me tonight.
