Many apps, even before AppleScript Studio was available, contain scripts.
There were ways to use scripts to perform application functionality before
AS Studio. Also, apps with script menus might include some scripts in the
app bundle, as far as I know. So just looking for a script in the bundle
wouldn't be guaranteed.
Also, bear in mind that an AS Studio app is really just a Cocoa app. Any
Cocoa app can use the AS Studio AppleScriptKit framework in order to use a
little bit of AppleScript code to supplement what is mostly an Objective-C
Cocoa app, just as any such app can use a little Cocoa code to supplement
what is mostly an AppleScript app. So you have a philosophical or
definitional issue to resolve, as well as a code test to invent.
I missed the beginning of this thread. Do you want to know whether it is an
AS Studio app (whatever that is) just for purposes of putting a label on it?
Or is there some functional reason you need to know the answer? If the
latter, better to test for the functionality you need to distinguish.
