Re: Groups.io Raising Prices?
Hey Chris, not sure what you mean by "the straight scoop" since you seem to have the prices, but here is the post by the Groups.io site owner: https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/79024735 In the beginning I was very excited by both the AppleScript and JXA sub-groups, but have long since lost interest, since there is very little participation. I also don't really like the groups.io posting syntax.
If it were me I'd setup a Discourse.org site with an inexpensive host like bluehost.com. Good luck.

I was going to move a group I manage here, but we can't afford their new pricing scheme.If you read the message, this does not start till 21 January. Move it now! I have to wonder what this means for <http://Groups.io>Groups.io's future as well...It means it will be operating on a good financial basis which bodes well for the future. And the proper place to ask this question is groups.io managers forum, not here.

Groups.io Raising Prices?
Christopher Stone
Hey Folks,
Does anyone know the straight scoop on Groups.io raising prices? For groups upgraded after Monday, January 18th, 2021 at 9am Pacific Time, the pricing plans will be based on the number of members in the group. The base costs of the different existing plans are not changing. The change is that above a certain number of members, the per member pricing kicks in. Here is the run down: Free Premium Starting at $20/month or $220/year I was going to move a group I manage here, but we can't afford their new pricing scheme. I have to wonder what this means for Groups.io's future as well... -- Best Regards, Chris

Re: Applescript in Mac OS 11?
Bill Cheeseman
My expectation, based on nothing more than AppleScript's long history, is that existing support for AppleScript will not go away. The issue right now is that Apple has not implemented it in its Catalyst apps, although they could if they chose to. They do have lots of time before Big Sur is released.

Re: Applescript in Mac OS 11?
Jon Gotow
That's definitely helpful from a user's perspective, but as a developer I use AppleScript within my apps to integrate them with other applications.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Losing AppleScript will result in my applications becoming "dumber". Default Folder X will no longer be able to magically integrate with ForkLift, Path Finder, or even the Finder if those apps stop supporting AppleScript. App Tamer won't be able to tell whether it should slow down Music or Spotify in the background because it won't be able to tell whether they're currently streaming music. Yes, I can work with other developers to get special URL handlers or IPC hooks to coordinate with their app, but it's nothing like having a system-supported method of talking to applications and getting insight into their state. - Jon

Re: Applescript in Mac OS 11?

I have started updating UI Browser as a universal app for Big Sur. It strikes me as more likely that Apple will make its new apps comply with accessibility, so it will remain possible to script them with GUI Scripting even if they no longer have an AppleScript dictionary.

There was nothing specific to the app in its dictionary. May be we should put some pressure on Apple, in spite of being few. Apple has some pearls that would be sorely missed if gone. Automation is one of them. Another one would be Grapher. I am interested in Swift, but I have a predilection for scripting languages and AppleScript allows the Mac to do amazing stuff. If allow Messages, and may be even Maps to go quie, I don’t know about tomorrow. And, I believe we vastly underestimate the number of people using AppleScript I am open to suggestions. But I believe the more the merrier. Automation forever Deivy Petrescu applescript@dicas.com

Re: How to set Folder Permissions on Enclosing Items
A bit late, but in case you didn't work it out yourself, this will get file permissions:
And this will set them:
...and it will do this recursively to all subfolder items. But, in general, try and avoid using Finder for filesystem operations. Use System Events, or the Foundation framework.

How to set Folder Permissions on Enclosing Items
Dave
Hi,
Is there anyway to set the permissions of a folder and it contents recursively using AppleScript? Basically I want the equivalent of the Get Info Window, "Apple to Enclosing Items” option. Thanks in advance. Dave

Menubar in AppleScript??
Dave
Hi,
Is it possible to add a Menu Bar to a Script and have it work like a regular App? I’ve found something that plays about with Menu’s but I’m not really sure what it does. When I run it it complains on this statement: set theStatusItem to NSStatusBar's systemStatusBar()'s statusItemWithLength:NSVariableStatusItemLength Error: NSWindow drag regions should only be invalidated on the Main Thread! I’m not sure how to fix it, in Objective-C I’d use performSelectorOnMainThread with wait until done = YES, but not sure if I can do that in AppleScript? If I do fix it, I’m not sure if the code does want I want it to, I just want to setup a Menubar, I’m not sure where the NSStatusBar comes into it??? If someone has an example of how handle the Menubar i’d be grateful, just knowing if its possible would help! All the Best Dave

Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
It’s hard to know when you need (), I usually add them anyway but this time I forgot! The thing that threw me here was again the error message, it actually display the correct path name in the error which I took to mean the parameter itself was ok. I’ve found System Events adequate for that I want, which is pretty simple. All the Best Dave

Oh and, if the item from theNewList is not in the theMasterList the it should be added to the end of the myOrderedList.

How to order a list - A challenge
Dave
Hi,
I’ve written a Handler to do the following: on GetOrderedList(theMasterList,theNewList) return myOrderedList end GetOrderedList theMasterList: MasterOrderList AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE theNewList t: DDD BBB CCC Return list: BBB CCC DDD I’ve got it working but its very clunky, I was wondering the fastest way to do it is in AppleScript. The way it currently works is to copy theMasterList to myTempList, then remove all the items that are not in theNewList. Then create myOrdered list by stepping thru theMasterList and then adding the correspond entry from myTempList. it works but its slow! Any way to improve it? Thanks a lot Dave

No, what fixed it was that you stopped misusing "of me". Your original is looking for a property list file "of me", where only the variable belongs to "me". If you had said: tell property list file (pMWLPrefsFilePOSIXPath of me) it would work fine. But you'll find it's much simpler and faster to use AppleScriptObjC for property lists.

Re: System Events - Property Lists

If I change it to:
tell application "System Events" set myPropertyListPath to pMWLPrefsFilePOSIXPath of me ———Changed------ tell property list file myPropertyListPath ———Changed------ set pModOrderFileURL of me to (value of property list item "pModOrderFileURL") set pModOrderList of me to value of property list item "pModOrderList" set pGameInfoList of me to value of property list item "pGameInfoList" set pModInfoList of me to value of property list item "pModInfoList" end tell end tell That used to read: tell property list file pMWLPrefsFilePOSIXPath of me So, assigning it to local storage and using the local made it work! wtf! AppleScript is in a class of its own when it comes to weird happens!!!
