Here's a question for either the list denizens working at Apple, or
for anyone with the chops to put something this together....
We've discussed before the general uselessness of recording
AppleScripts since so few apps are recordable. But having spent more
time than usual in the last week putting together UI scripting, I'm
thinking that *those* actions should be eminently recordable. After
all, recording at the System Events level is just a matter of
capturing clicks and keystrokes; the only difficult thing I can think
of is whether a given click should be recorded as absolute or as
focusing a particular object.
The advantage, though, is that suddenly you have a master method for
recording any set of actions on a Mac, for scriptable and
nonscriptable apps alike.
Is something like this possible? (And yes, I'm aware of third-party
macro applications that do this, but I'm thinking how cool this would
be within the AppleScript domain.)
Best,
Jeff
