For some reason the following seems to have quit working, It generates an error, "Can't set text item delimiters to "<key>Width</key>". It has been working for ages. No recent changes that I remember. I have tried restarting Smile and re-launching the Finder.

I think that the replies you got, albeit helpful, did not directly address your question.


As a matter of fact, for some reason that I don't know, you now have to write (like you had in the past):

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "blah"

That said, if you're working with plists maybe you should consider using the plist commands suite in XMLLib.osax [1].

Also, be aware that some of the plists are now stored as binary files, so you may experience troubles reading it as text. The latest version of XMLLib.osax (easily available to the members of SUL, the discussion list for the users of Smile [2]) understands binary plists.

Finally, if you're using Smile, you can use Smile's enhancements to AppleScript, namely:

get screen bounds
