Which reminds me of yet another issue with some of these Cocoa
applications. Using UI scripting to patch holes in the things they
don't do you have interface objects that have names like "Button"
instead of the f*&%ing button's actual name. First time I saw this BS
I just couldn't believe that an intelligent being was at the console
when it was written. Does Cocoa make people stupid?
Stupid ? No. Lazy ? PROBABLY :(
(or sure depending on your point of view)
I knew newbie that used the default title (Untitled, Untitled 1, etc.) as the
file name for their documents...
I even knew newbie that used the same document for letters and print page n
(where n is the last written letter to send). [Just in case... they wrote
letters to different people in the same document and for some reason they knew
that Enter make a page step and they print the last page/letter of the document
to get the letter printed)...
go figure...
At last, I was asked to send a 'know' PICT file instead of that pesky PhotoShop
PICT file... (they probably wanted to get an AppleWorks PICT file).
[Explanation: a double click in the document leads to "You need PhotoShop to
open that document"; they do not know that drag file icon above 'my_application'
allows to open it | use Open in the File menu is beyond their knowledge]
Do not laugth, this employee was in a leading hardware manufacturer in our
computer area of business...
Back to UI Scripting: due to the lack of documentation, it is not an easy
technology to acquire (learn / understand and deploy).
