I'm writing an AppleScript to be a URL handler[1] in AppleScript
studio and have noticed really odd behaviour. When I select my
Applescript as the helper app in IE, it selected it fine.
Is this an AppleScript Studio app, or something created with Script
Editor and saved as an application? (I suspect it's the later, though I
can't be sure.)
As soon as I looked at it funny, it switched to being "Mimic PC
Monitor" from Colorsync's scripts. This made me curse MS repeatedly so
I downloaded "More Internet Preferences" and installed that to select
my script as a protocol handler. It too switched to "Mimic PC
Monitor". Next up was Vince, the stand-alone preferences editor. It
too chose "Mimic PC Monitor" instead of my script.
So, as a last resort to test my lovely little script, I decided I
would edit "Mimic PC Monitor" and just be done with it. From then on,
it uses "Update Servers" no matter what Applescript I choose. Is MacOS
X choosing the lowest dated AppleScript instead of the one I want?
Sound like it might be doing something like that. Need a bit more info
to confirm that.
Can anyone shed some light on this before I give up on my
Applescripted ML-Donkey front-end project as worthless?
There are some possible workarounds, depending on what the problem is.
If it's what you suspect, you could, e.g. try changing the creator type
of your app:
tell app "finder" to set creator type of ... to ___
Where "..." is a ref to your app and "___" is a some four character
creator type of your choosing.
