A file with '.scpt' should be an 'osas' file, just as a file with '.txt'
should be a 'TEXT' file, no?

Not the way Apple makes 'em nowadays, nope. Shall we call it a bug?

However, couldn't you just use the "name extension" property of "get info"?

I'm not talking about post-validation, I'm talking about pre-filtering.
I think they're called "filter procs" or something like that. Apple should have updated 'choose file' somehow, like with an additional parameter.


-boo
wondering if an answer is a recursive cron job to fix all *.scpt files
