Hi all,
my experiments with "load script" and "store script" seem to lead
nowhere. Strange crashes occur and "load Script" is sometimes simply
loading unusable data... I believe it has something to do with
Unicode texts in the objects I store, but this is just a guess.
[whine]
In situations like this I really would do a lot for a public bug
list: is it me that's crazy or AppleScript... and these deadlines
keep flying by without having a clue what's going on...
[end whine]
Saving and reloading my state info works like a charm using Akuas
"the preference" and "save preference" events. Only Problem: I want
to save my states as independent files. And I don't want use OSAXen.
So I wondered whether the read/write Standard Additions work for me.
And so far they actually do what I ask them to: they read and write
records! But I think I just recently read something this list,
recommending against using just this feature... and can't find it.
So, if there's a problem: in which situations does read/write fail to
correctly deal with records? What bugs are known?
Or can I safely continue on my way to meeting my deadline?
TIA,
Helmut
