hi,
Attachable apps allow users to augment applications by attaching scripts to
the app. These scripts can be called by user actions.
However, they cannot be called from the script editor, even though the
AppleScript APIs allow the defining of inheritance hierarchies.
This means that functions which are available cannot be scripted, and this
is really sad, as it means that scripts cannot take advantage of the library
of functions which a user has deemed need adding to augment an apps
functionality, and which he has even gone to the effort of providing.
It would be fantastic if script editor could compile scripts which use
attached functions.
Anyone else agree? (or disagree?)
