The Keyboard & Mouse Preference option doesn't trigger my compiled
script.
I made this simple script:
tell application "Finder"
display dialog "Hello"
end tell
Saved compiled script into home script folder with name "Hello".
In Keyboard & Mouse Preference clicked add, chose Finder as
Application, in menu put in "Hello", and typed in shortcut.
I'm not getting the dialog box when I press this shortcut.
I'm I missing something???
