Inspired by the flurry of posts about mangled scripts last weekend,
I updated Convert Script, a script I had been using and finetuning
for just under two months. I made quite a few changes, added some
new features, etc. This I posted on my site as version 1.0d3 on
Sunday, Feb 18, 2001.
Well of course one of those features included a minor BUG which I
have corrected in version 1.0d4. A handler which I added to attempt
to remove extra line wraps added by the server when a line's length
exceeds 76 characters of so did a little extra credit work.
In addition to removing the extras, it also would remove the line
break before the final line of an indented block, giving this sort
of result:
on foo()
beepend foo
This has been fixed and I made a couple of minor under the hood
tune-ups, hopefully all for the better. So, all who are interested
in getting the updated version should hop on over to:
http://homepage.mac.com/richard23/
which details the changes and new features, and/or go here:
http://homepage.mac.com/richard23/applescript03.html#ConvertScript
to download it. Preliminary docs are included in the download,
which are more current than the online docs on my site.
Here's a quickie summary of some of the other changes:
Email quoting is removed.
Added an adjustable cache, default is 10 items.
To access/browse/save the cache type copy "save" to
the clipboard and run the script.
Fix Line Breaks option added and fixed (on by default).
Early tests look pretty good, recent tests even better.
Added 10 more user-configurable settings (5 are feedback sounds).
To view the settings copy "settings" to the clipboard and run.
Probably will add a user name setting so the author of a script
is contained in the header, and retained when converting the
script from email. Just in case CS wasn't overkill already!
If anyone has any problems with it please let me know.
I always can't catch all of the bugs myself.
