I don't use AS much but I seem to recall that one could read an application's dictionary by dropping the app on Script Editor or via the Open Dictionary menu item. Has this changed?

I have a Cocoa app which has all kinds of scriptability but I cannot open its dictionary by either of the above methods.

Is there some special way to read a Cocoa app dictionary?

Yes, there is!
After Cocoa, at least until few months ago, you had to had an app that explicitly contained the line "NSAppleScriptEnabled" and the tag "Yes" in its info.plist file to have it opened by dragging it into the SE icon. One way to do that, is to copy this line from another app and paste it on the info.plist of the app you want.
I did that with an app that had the same problem and it worked.
By the way, credits to Mr John Delacour for this one!
