Title: Should I not have avoided Leopard?
Hello everyone,
I upgraded to Leopard a few days ago and noticed that many of my scripts do not run. These were scripts, some of them rather complex, that I use daily or on a very regular basis. Reading some of the discussion on the list, it seems to me that the only solution is to re-write scripts and upgrade software, something that is a non-negligible task. The hours that it may take (learning the differences in AppleScript, and implementing the changes in the many scripts), makes it very tempting to return to Tiger until a more propitious time.
Unfortunately, when I was at the Apple Store buying Leopard, the clerk dismissed the significance of the potential problem (I had only heard a little about it), noting that if it were that serious, they would have received information from Apple Support. Having being so busy at work, I have not followed the discussing here as closely as necessary to note the problem with his opinion.
So my questions:
1) From your perspective as scripters at various levels of expertise, is the effort to update scripts as tedious and time consuming as it seems to me?
2) A subjective question from your current experience about compatibility: In a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is not compatible at all, and 10 is fully compatible, where do you rate Leopard’s AppleScript in relation to Tiger’s?
3) Is there a silver lining? In other words, is there a way to recover my scripts without too much re-writing or am I caught in the wheels of progress?
Thanks!
Max
