I'm pretty sure there's something really simple that I'm missing, but I
can't see it. I hope somebody can point out to me what I've done wrong
here.
I've been trying to make XGP (open source gprolog IDE for Mac OS X)
scriptable (on 10.2.3). I'm using ScriptEditor to try to "Open
Dictionary" of XGP, and it always fails.
What the Error Looks Like:
If I run XGP in the debugger, then I see the NSLog message (from
somewhere in the NSScript mechanism, I suppose):
2003-01-30 23:12:27.902 XGP[25056] No readable name in dictionary
This is immediately followed by EXC_BAD_ACCESS signal, with the
following stack:
#0 0x90131db8 in CFRetain
#1 0x90134700 in CFArrayCreate
#2 0x908bd3a0 in readableNameArray

The Scripting Implementation:
I stripped down my XGP.scriptSuite and XGP.scriptTerminology files so
that all they do is define the NSApplication object, and I still get
this error.
I set NSAppleScriptEnabled to be a string of "YES" in the ExpertView
of Info.plist Entries of the XGP project's Target panel.
The XGP.scriptSuite (in the Resources folder of the app bundle) is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"
http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
