Title: Re: Automator running un-requested
I don’t think that’s just a Smile thing, I think it’s an applescript thing.

Whenever a script is compiled the compiler needs to see the dictionary, and if an app’s applescript dictionary can be extended, then the app has to open for the compiler to see the runtime dictionary.

This should happen whenever any script editor compiles any script  that addresses any  extendable application.

ES

Any ideas why when I drop this script on  "Smile" that Automator starts up?
I'm not run running the script, only looking at it.

Any cure?

set x to ""
if x contains "Automator" then -- Automator
tell application "Automator"
end tell
end
if

I have the same problem with "AppleScript Editor" opening when I drop a script onto "Smile".
Because the script contains the line ...
tell application "AppleScript Editor"

I think that's just the way Smile works.
