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.
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 confess that I left something out of the first paragraph, above. I
actually wrote the applet initially in Script Debugger 3.0.4 and saved it as
an application, then opened it in SE for final saving. Could it be that
Script Debugger leaves something in the applet file that causes SE to choke
when saving it as compiled script or text? (I don't think so; I tested this
possibility by taking the SD text version and turning it into an SE text
version, then tested all of this again strictly from the SE text version as
my base -- and the same problems appeared.)
2. I sent the original finished applet to a client. He reports it won't run
when double-clicked in the Finder under Mac OS X 10.1.5 -- although it works
fine when he runs it in his 10.1.5 edition of SE. Is this a related issue?
Do we have an incompatibility between script applications saved in SE 1.9
and running said scripts under older versions of Mac OS X?
