I wrote a short applet, and I saved it as an Application in Script Editor
1.9 (Jaguar). It worked, both when run in SE and when double-clicked in the
Finder. Then I encountered two problems:
1. I went to Save As a Compiled Script, and I got an error message saying SE
couldn't write because of a disk error. I tried to Save As Text; same error.
I tried to Save As an Application again; no problem.
Working with an applet created in SE 1.9 (stay-open, no splash) I was
able to save as compiled, overwriting the original, without complaint
after the warning and then to resave as application, so here things
seem normal in this case.
OK, I opened it in Script Debugger and saved it as text. No problem. Then I
opened the text file in SE, and I was able to save it as Application,
Compiled Script, or Text, at will, no problem -- but only if I first opened
the text version. If I tried to save the applet version as text or compiled
script, it refused.
I noticed another oddity. If I save as Compiled Script (notice the initial
caps), the next time I go to save, there's a new menu item at the top of the
pop-up in SE saying "compiled script" -- no caps. If I save as Application,
next time there's a new item saying "application." This seems like a minor
cosmetic bug, but I wonder if it is related to the first problem?
I can confirm this. The script I am testing with has never been
touched by SD or Smile, so these don't figure in the equation.
However, there is a blank line below the top lower-case line and this
seems to be there simply to announce the current state of the script
-- which it gets wrong!
