I learned to store a variable (that I am not the owner) before
changing its contents and restore it before quit. The variable owner
is either AppleScript or Mac OS X and I do not know what happens
once it have been changed by a program. So to avoid trouble(s), I
usually store the original value before changing it and restore that
original value once I can (do not need my value).
Am I right ?
I never store/restore the original value of AppleScript's text item
delimiters. Never!
So ... whose right? Both of us. You can do it either way.
My usage is to always assume that the value of TIDs is undefined and I
define it just before I use it. It's easier to read the code because I
can easily see the value I'm using. And doing it this way avoids
writing unnecessary lines of code to store/restore the value of TIDs.
There may be a problem if my code calls code written by someone else
who incorrectly assumes the value of TIDs. Could there be a problem if
there are two independent AppleScripted applications running at the
same time. I think we may have discussed this here some time ago, but
I forget the details.
