Op/Ed
  • "Lion discussion continues on AppleScript; default directories; auto-opening windows; compatibility issues; plus details about Macintosh bus architectures over the years." ["What a relief to hear Applescript is still to be supported. As a print provider using Adobe Suite products, we use Applescript daily in all our workflows. Huge power comes from the fact Adobe products are nearly 100% scriptable for automating complex layouts and repetitive tasks. Applescript is an amazingly powerful workhorse. It's a relief to hear that scripting is alive and well at Apple. Best news I've heard in 2012!"] MacInTouch 3:56 PM
