Also, last week I sent this question to this list, the ASS one and the
Implementors one. Maybe we need an experienced cocoa/C programmer to write
such code.
Don Briggs has some samples and a great tool (Suite Modeler) to make
cocoa-scriptable applications <
http://homepage.mac.com/donbriggs/>. I think
that for an experienced programmer wouldn't be very difficult throw a little
bridge between cocoa/c and applescript.
Definitivelly, I think this would be a great feature for all us!
