So my question is three-fold:
First, as far as applescript recording, what are the best
applications in OS X for that?
Smile, Interarchy, BBEdit (paid), Tex-Edit Plus, Stuffit Expander are
some, and um ...
Am I missing anything obvious? I'm aware that OS X has much more
limited recording features in comparison with classic, even so,
there must be some way.
It's apps that are recordable, not systems. The app needs to be
written to send AE for everything it does. TE Plus is remarkable in
this regard.
Second, barring good applescript recording, are there better tools
for listening to the Apple Events (e.g. some profiler in Project
Builder) that will log more of the inter and especially
intra-application events generated by user interaction?
In Classic, with classic apps, you can capture Apple Events using
Alan Bird's Capture AE (get it from westcodesoft.com), but unless an
app is sending events as the user does things, you'll capture only
script-generated events.
Thirdly, who do I contact at Apple, failing these other two option
to attempt to negotiate some type of special dispensation to get
access to the unpublished API's for things like Mail, iCal, or
Keynote?
?
