I'm just trying to understand how I would redistribute it. I am very
new to applescript and I am also new to Apple/Mac.
Could you outline the steps I would need to go through to include a
dialog with my application?
Thanks,
Darwin

I guess using the progress bar would be really cool.
When you save as application does it include the dialog or do you
have to include it separately?
You mean when you save as stand-alone application.
Saving as stand-alone application applies to dialogs. So, you will
save, I suppose, another "master" dialog.
Then you have to include the "slave" dialog yourself, for instance in
Contents/Resources/More stuff, inside the package. This is "my
gmorestufffolder" for Smile.
When distributed does it require the user to download any other
software?
No.
The path to the dialog would depend on where the user actually puts
the application and presumably the dialog file. I can assume the
dialog file would be in the same directory as the script, so how do I
get the script's current path?
I'm getting a bit confused here. I feel like you are wanting to save
the script as an application. In which case you are speaking about the
standard "applet" mechanism of AppleScript - not Smile "save as
stand-alone" feature. The standard "applet" mechanism of AppleScript
is what applies to a script when you choose "Application" in the
"Format" menu of "Save as". A standard applet cannot open a Smile
dialog. Only Smile and the stand-alone applications made with the
"save as stand-alone application" feature of Smile can open Smile
dialogs.
Can I set the maximum within code?
Yes. That's the "maximum" property of the dialog item. While in edit
mode, drop the dialog item to a text window to display all its
properties.
What is the contextual menu?
In edit mode, click on a dialog item while holding down the "ctrl" key.
More information about Smile dialogs is available in the following pdf:
<http://www.satimage.fr/software/downloads/RefManDialogs.pdf>
The pdf is just en excerpt of Smile Reference Manual, currently being
written. So, some references will be missing. "See chapter ???".
Tell me if you think I can help more.
Best regards,
Emmanuel
