You mean *outside* of such a block?
I meant "obscure" such a sense that it is strange that "file URL" is supported in two of Apple's applications and obsoleted in the third.
I'd rather have it working in all of them, and I don't understand why it wouldn't.
But I can't get Standard Additions to do anything useful with any URL:
get the scheme of "http://www.Google.de/";
does not compile and
get the scheme of URL "http://www.Google.de/";
gives an error
error "„URL \"http://www.Google.de/\"“ kann nicht gelesen werden." number -1728 from URL "http://www.Google.de/";
Is the URL in Standard Additions obsolete for any scheme?
The use of "URL" in the ASLG doesn't get me any further:
"open location
Opens a URL with the appropriate program."
doesn't seem to refer to the kind of URLs we're discussing here, and
"choose URL"
is also something special.
In any case,
choose URL
get the scheme of the result
yields an error.
Greetings
