Sometimes “Codesign” is used and sometimes “Code Sign”
Use of “and” and “&” inconsistent. & should only be used when it’s the commonly used name for a feature. Should not replace “and” in a description. ie. Drag & Drop is OK, Lists & Records is not
Thanks for finding all the errors and spelling mistakes. I’ve updated the post with corrected tables.
This is the Parent Script sub-menu at the Script menu:
This is only useful to someone deploying a script within a custom runtime environment that supports nested script contexts (this is something FaceSpan once did).
I’ve tried to add a Script Editor column, but there are some items I don’t understand and some I’m not sure about. Also, I don’t know the syntax to create such tables…
In a script, type ta followed by a space character.
See the Show/Hide Status Bar item in the View menu
Yes, its kind of the smae thing. SD offers a range of actions when dropping files. All depends on if the script has an on open handler and the type of file being dropped. For instance, if you drop a script, SD will offer to insert the script’s source into your script for you.
Enable debugging, and start stepping through your code. You’ll see coverage indicators appear in the gutter and in the verical scroll bar. They are a heat bap indicating which parts of your script executes the most.
Some dictionaries provide additional content. SD lets you turn the display of this on and off - see the Show Extra Documentation item in the Dictionary menu.
Ok, thank you. I think I have something that includes SE, it’s mostly an exercice to see what I understand of the features though… I have left some questions marks here and there for the most obscure items.
