Yes, just opened a javascript OSA script and seems that javascript code is
stored as is within scpt.
Then, another question relative to storage. Why does it store full paths
when you make a reference to a file or when using a tell block.
Ie
tell app "Finder" to...
will be stored as
MACS (creator flag) Finder (app name) JJ:System Folder:Finder (full path
within MY DISK)
Is this the reason because the typhical question "where is located app xxx"
when running the script in other computer?
And about storing properties... An example:
property x : read (":file.txt" as alias)
-- "file.txt" contains word "HELLO"
display dialog x
Obviously, when I delete the "file.txt", the script runs as normally, and
displayes dialog "HELLO".
So, embedding commands into properties only work at compile time?
Let's supposse that "file.txt" was the "Neverending Story". If I want mail
the script it could be an amount of many minutes sending many MB... :-).
Then, what's the difference between
property x : read (":file.txt" as alias)
&
property x : "HELLO"
Me wasted time!
