I'm willing to bet that folks on this list have filed bugs
pertaining to scripting years ago which still haven't been
addressed. So that doesn't strike me as being a solution.
If people are encountering a problem and report it, it's more
helpful for development teams trying to decide where to focus their
finite resources.
Obviously, if there are no reports, they may never know the problem
even exists, much less how to prioritize it.
Report bugs and enhancement requests for application scripting
support so they know it's important to you. Otherwise, you're just
waiting around for someone on the development team to notice it and
decide that it's important even though no users have asked for it to
be addressed.
Hey Chris,
Bugreporter has a hard time dealing with systemic errors (<radr://6694000
> e.g. which I filed and then was asked to re-file for every header
in CoreFoundation!). Ridiculous. IOW, for the ~50 applications that
Apple includes in a stock release, why don't you, from a non-Apple
account, file 50 individual bugs and then tell us how long it takes.
That's more like a full time job with a salary and perks. And, in the
long run, not an effective solution because it caters to the bug
reporting format and not the root cause of problem.
One would expect Apple, in the interest of having a better overall
product, to have a category for systemic errors and the resources/
talent available to handle them. For the problem at hand, you seem to
be suggesting that it's not an AppleScript problem per se. True. It's
a scriptability problem in general. I believe a good method is for the
AppleScript team to have an enforcer with some clout so that these
types of things can be addressed efficiently.
I will file one bug on this problem.
