Hello Matt,
I finally did something using the following suite definition:
<suite name="My Suite" code="mysu">
<class name="document" code="docu" description="my project"
plural="document" inherits="document">
<cocoa class="MyDocument"/>
<property name="source" code="snam" description="name of source
file" type="text">
<cocoa key="sourceFile"/>
</property>
<responds-to command="dosomething">
<cocoa method="handleDoSomethingScriptCommand:"/>
</responds-to>
</class>
<command name="dosomething" code="dosc" description="do something">
<cocoa class="NSScriptCommand"/>
<direct-parameter type="document"/>
<result type="any"/>
</command>
</suite>
MyDocument is derived from NSDocument and has property sourceFile and method
- (id) handleDoSomethingScriptCommand: (NSScriptCommand *) cmd
{NSLog(@"got it"); return nil; }
I wrote a simple script:
tell application "My App"
activate
make new document
set source of first document to "/some/path/here"
--tell first document to dosomething
close first document
end tell
This works until I remove comments from the line that calls my method.
I receive an error that there is no variable "dosomething".
I tried another syntax: "dosomething first document" and received an error too.
The questions:
1. Did I correctly subclassed document from standard suite?
2. Did I correctly described a property? Should it be string or file
type if it is a path?
3. What did I do wrong with calling of method? How to fix it?
Thank you.
