I have a script that has gotten pretty long... for me anyway... about
2000 lines. The whole script is a big repeat loop.... it checks to see
if new text has been added to a file, if it fits some basic patterns,
and, if so, does a lot of parsing and creation of new text based on it.
It then sends the text to another application...
all is good, except it does not allow me to stop it.. the stop button
does not work, nor does Apple+period. I can quit it from the Dock, and
it will even ask me to save changes MOST of the time. Other times I
have to force quit.
It also will not run as a stand alone app... I get an error message
that says "O doesn't understand the count message" with the typical
"edit" button. I have nothing called "O" - when I press the edit
button the script opens but nothing is selected.
Any ideas? I am on OS X 10.2.3 using the new BETA script editor.
