Re: AppleScriptable Examples? (Peter S Lau)



Hi Pete,

my understanding it's a variation of 'aete' resource?  I looked at it
for about 30 min. long time ago and that's the impression I got.

If someone knows more, I would like to hear about it.

They are more or less a variation on an aete, but what a variation. Unless you have some tool for creating aetes, using an sdef file is so much easier than writing an aete manually, as I used to do. The sdef file is xml based. I'd been putting off adding further AppleScript capabilities to my app because I was reticent to jump into the twisted and fragile syntax of aetes too often, but using an sdef I'm able to add things at will because it's so straightforward. I use the sdp CLI tool to generate a .r file from my sdef.


Someone else has already suggested the sdp and sdef man pages for more information, I think. There are sdef examples in /Developer/ Example/Scripting Definitions as well. It took a bit of figuring out, but that was all I needed to get going. Christopher Nebel from Apple was also helpful on the applescript-implementors list.

Regards,

Jo
