Hi Shane.
Thanks for your interest and comments.
PowerMail, TextWrangler, and DragThing are indeed all 32-bit apps — or
at least not 64-bit apps — according to System Profiler. GEDitCOM II, a
64-bit app, still seems able to run "extension" scripts I rewrote for it
in ASObjC and which I assume run within its own process. So your guess
sounds good and it's likely to be the application developers who need
prodding rather than Apple.
I don't use applications' script menus myself, preferring to run all
scripts from one place: the system script menu. The situation came to
light when I investigated why PowerMail kept crashing on trying to
download AS-Users Digests. ;) I have a mail filter which runs an
AppleScript whenever a Digest arrives, which script contains ASObjC
code. I've switched the filter off now and am running the script from
Script Editor after any Digest appears. I tried inserting a proxy script
yesterday to run the original using a shell script with osascript, but
it just locked up PowerMail for a couple of minutes until it timed out.
I think I may still have the original non-ASObjC version of the script
on my G5. :)
