It's interesting to launch Console.app and read the log entries after
choosing File > Open Dictionary in SE 2.0. This has nothing to do with SE
2.0, I suppose, and it looks like it worked the same way in SE 1.9. But it
does seem to say something nice about the state of AppleScript
implementation in our world.
Console.app shows a short list of applications on my machine whose
dictionaries are not correctly formed. They appear in connection with SE's
CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData() function. I'm not sure I'm reading them
correctly. But I'm pleased that there are only half a dozen of them, out of
probably 100 scriptable apps on my machine:
Missing semicolon in dictionary of Norton Scheduler.app. Missing semicolon
in dictionary of Maelstrom 3.0.5 (great game, but is it really scriptable?).
Missing semicolon in dictionary of
"file://localhost/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern", whatever that is. Plist
parse failed, not proper UTF-8 in an older version of PhotoToWeb from Stone
Studio.
Then, almost a minute later: "WindowServer [300]: CGXDisableUpdate: Updates
disabled by connection 0xcb0f for over 1.000000 seconds". Does this have
something to do with why loading dictionaries takes so long?
