What's this thing called, love?
A range of things I thought may of general interest to persons of the scripting persuasion.
A reference for backward compatibility - "What was the first version of the Finder that supported Preference setting..?" - as well a few of the more popular apps and osaxen. There are about 50 dictionaries at last count. Click here to view the index.
Tutorials
Instructional articles about specific topics.
- Marking up AS - some of the principles involved in converting AppleScript code to valid html/xhtml
- Special Folders - comprehensive info about all the special folders whose paths can be obtained using the path to command
