The AppleScript files are saved as text only (.applescript). At the

a stay-open and/or run-only when compiled.

Interesting; hadn't thought of that approach. Been thinking about moving everything into Xcode (since it already uses flat files), but can't help feeling it's a bit of overkill for simple stuff, even using my own applet templates.

How's that working for you? I'm somewhat familiar with Subversion from using SourceForge, but distributed scm seems to be increasingly popular these days and the ability to work without being tied to a central server would be handy (e.g. when out of office). I get the impression it may also encourage more frequent checkins and make it easier to create experimental branches.


I was also wondering if custom Git/Mercurial/other-distributed-scm hooks could be used to compile/decompile scripts on the fly when diffing/merging - does that sound a realistic/worthwhile option? Has anyone tried it?


Thanks,

Hamish
