Still working on this scriptable app. There's interest in having the
ability to drop scripts on the app, or on parts of its GUI. The lead
programmer is interested in accepting text files (containing applescript
text) as well as compiled scripts.
Actually the app already does this, but it's also going to be possible
and meaningful to drop text files onto the app, which will have some
other effect altogether than executing the contents as an applescript.
He's asking whether there's an existing filename extension, like .scr or
.as or some such, which would act as a flag to this kind of action.
My take is that the app should ONLY accept compiled scripts.
Does this sound reasonable?
.applescript = Script as text
.scpt = Compiled script
This is the terminology used in OSX.
