Stupid little success story.
SO. We have this biggish project to do in the 8 figure range where we need to convert old stuff to modern HTML and Javascripty stuff. Several thousand screens across 3 platforms, + other bits of suck.
The advertised tools that we required to to the GUI part of the job weren't really pulling the mustard.
"Screwed the pooch" it sorta more like it.
Looking at the issues, I'm like "mmmmm, I can do this."
SOz, I crack open ye trusty Script Debugger and start cranking a few months ago.
Weeeellll, today, I got things mature, took 100 screens and found out that 50% of them process right off the bat.
So, I took that 50%, set Batch Processing Powers to ACTIVATE, opened them and said, "GO, you bastards, go".
41 seconds later, 52 files of old were converted to modern goodness. Something that would have taken us days - per screen.
All in AppleScript with a few shell calls. No shit.
Thanks for the help guys!
