electronic papyrus:
I've been scripting for a long time now but have never found a way
to reference multiple versions of an application. For example: Say
you need to write a script that works with three versions of
QuarkXPress, there are only two options as far as I can tell:
1. Recompile the script on each machine where it will be used
2. Rename Quark on all target machines to the name you used in your script.
Is there a more elegant way to reference an app say by it's creator
code or something?
Something like:
tell application whose creator type = "XPR3"
-- do amazing stuff here
end
Yes, but jsut to clarify: is the script *exactly* the same regardless
of which version of QXP (i.e., they all work the same way, regardless
of version), or do you need to handle things slightly differently for
different versions?
The solution will be different, depending on which you mean.
