In what format do Scripts need to be in order to work as "Speakable
Items"?
I thought that they need to be compiled scripts, but I have the newer
beta of Script Editor 2 (v36) which does not seem to have that option
for saving. It has "Text" , "Script" , "Script Bundle", "Application"
and "Application Bundle"
Which is suitable? Only the Application form seem to work for me.
Which seems a bit over the top.
Use "script"; it's the same thing as the older "compiled script".
Theoretically, script bundle and application bundle should also work,
but Speakable Items hasn't caught up yet. (Remember, you're using a
beta, so it's a bit ahead of the times.)
Also what is the difference between ("Script Bundle" and "Script") or
("Application" and "Application Bundle") as far as Saving Scripts is
concerned?
The "bundle" ones save their contents in a bundle, that is, a folder
that gets treated like a file. (Most Mac OS X applications are
bundles; so are some document types, like Keynote documents.) Script
Editor 2 defined these new formats because they're significantly more
flexible than the file-based versions, and will allow us to do things
like localized scripts in the future, not to mention being trivially
transportable to any file system without losing data.
