To Apple, please consider:
I have a few little AppleScript apps that are begging to become widgets. But the code behind widgets is of course Javascript, except for plugins, of course.

It seems to me that widgets and AppleScript are made for each other, like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Maybe a future version of Dashcode would let me use AppleScript by default, please.


Chuck—

You can call AppleScripts via widget.system and the osascript command: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/ Conceptual/Dashboard_ProgTopics/Articles/CommandLine.html> <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/osascript.1.html>

Please note that we strongly recommend that you use widget.system asynchronously! Synchronous mode is included for testing purposes and widgets should not be shipped using it.

Thanks!

Christian.
