Anyone have any experience AppleScripting Panorama? It seems to have a
lot to recommend it over FileMaker but it also seems to me that it's
AppleScript support is quite lacking. They have implemented a "bare
bones" dictionary and rely on passing commands as strings to their own
proprietary scripting language to get anything done.
For example, to save a file you have to type something like
tell application "Panorama" to execute "save".
or to get the number of records
tell application "Panorama"
execute "copy the number of records into someCell"
set nRecords to the contents of someCell
I would really like to switch because of Panorama's speed and analytical
and graphical capabilities, but I rely on AppleScript to pull all the
different applications in our process together and it just seems that
Panorama's AppleScript support is too klunky and slim.
Anyone have any experience good or bad with this "tell Panorama to
execute..." philosophy?
Steve
